Anti-gay protestors sue library over Drag Queen Story Hour
Anti-gay (and anti-fun) protestors have sued the Houston Public Library over the Drag Queen Storytime events. From the Houston Chronicle:
The library director and Mayor Sylvester Turner are named as defendants, accused of being recklessly entangled in LGBT doctrine. The lawsuit says the storytelling sessions advertised as appropriate for patrons of all ages at the Freed-Montrose Neighborhood branch should not be funded with taxpayer dollars since the library would not host a man-woman marriage storytelling hour.
The group behind the lawsuit identify themselves as Christ followers, taxpayers and card-carrying library patrons.
Another plaintiff is Chris Sevier, who has filed a number of lawsuits across the country, including one in Houston for the right to marry his laptop. If men can marry men, he has argued, why cant he marry a computer. The plaintiffs also include an evangelical minister and a woman who says she got into a custody battle with her husband after he left her for a transgender woman.
