it's the right thing to do. Let kids decide their preference when they are old enough. NOT through the children's book section of a public library! Basically force feeding sex preference on children.

Sexual preference isn't "decided." It simply is. Think about it, and try to see if you can change yours.

I don't know why they should be randomly placed, all other categories are separated, like fiction. Mystery, humor, travel, etc. They should especially be away from children's books.

The central issue concerns the exposure of minor children to explicit sexual material. One of these disputed books graphically illustrates oral sex involving minors. That is the very definition of child pornography. Movies have age restrictions, explicit books should have similar age designations.

I don’t believe LGBTQ sexually explicit or any sexually explicit information should be given to young children any more than cigarettes. Wait till they are old enough to vote and let them make up their minds as to what they want to read

Absolutely NOT. Everyone wants freedom of speech, as long as they agree about what is being said. Our kids are bullied enough without adding this to their plate.

Putting these materials in their "own" section is simply another way to discriminate against people who already face baseless discrimination.

This should not be taught to children of any age until they are old enough and mature. As in have gone through puberty and know right from wrong etc.

It makes no difference to me what a persons sexual preference is until, it is made an issue of and belief that the LGTBTQ community should have special privileges. Books should be on shelves but NOT have a special section and especially NOT for children.

Libraries are for the general public and follow the Dewey decimal system. Very few of any specific topic gets its own section. AND libraries are the originators of First Amendment rights. I'm sorry there are so many parents in Crook County who are scared of homosexuality.

Segregating out and eventually banning certain books is traveling down a dangerous road - as Americans, we should be better than that.
