Missouri Legislators Probe LGBTQ+ Library Event | Jefferson City News
Description
Missouri lawmakers are launching a probe into a Rainbow Story Time event at the Daniel Boone Regional Library, calling it “abhorrent” and inappropriate for children — despite the event’s focus on LGBTQ+ themes and family-friendly books like “Rainbowsaurus.” While critics argue taxpayer money shouldn’t fund such activities, attendees and supporters say the event promotes inclusivity and is harmless fun. Legal experts note First Amendment protections, but lawmakers are already eyeing new legislation to ban similar events — and a sunshine request has been filed to review all event materials.
