“I do not want any kind of rainbow display especially in this month.” Imagine hating the idea of diversity so much that any kind of rainbow offends you. These people won’t stop until the entire world is gray.
When your political project is ‘make everyone as miserable as I am’, whining about every goddamn thing is actually a kind of praxis.
Man, these people are gonna be unhinged once they find out a rainbow is our visible light spectrum and that we technically see it everywhere. The kicker is that “God” put it there.
These fucking morons don’t even know what they’re banning… Really teaching everyone how important education really is, and why they don’t want people educated.
They’re suing.
I hope they win. If the basis for their firing was the presumption that they were gay (hint: being gay is a protected class, you can’t fire someone for being gay), this would be an open-and-shut case of employment discrimination.
But if it’s all a big dumb misunderstanding and they’re not gay (and not part of that particular protected class) but they’re still fired over it, let me remind you that being autistic is a never-ending ordeal of being misunderstood, often mixed with a sense of justice that could be characterized as white-hot.
…or at least, my sense of justice about this might be in the range of over-wrought, or just blazing.
Shit, is firing someone because they’re autistic not also an open-an-shut case of employment discrimination?
If not, I think we need some reform.
Being autistic is a protected class
They just don’t hire you for not being charismatic or some other stupid reason.
I’m sure they would also happily attempt elimination of neurodivergent people.
Damn, I don’t know whether I should be outraged at trying to censor a library or at succeeding based on making a mistake. How is censoring a library even a thing?
(Yes, I live in an area that respects knowledge , freedom and individual rights, why do you ask?)
Let’s get a USA chant going
U-S-Gay, U-S-Gay!
So this is the Sterling Free Public Library that did this? The library at this website here?
https://sterling.scklslibrary.info/
I wonder what would happen if these ignorant bigots faced a proverbial shit storm of backlash from across the country every time they tried to pull hateful shit like this?
They’d close the library as a fuck you.
On June 22, Splitter, a temporary summer library employee, complained about the display to Lancaster, saying she found the “gay Pride” symbol offensive and going into “an anti-LGBT diatribe” even though Lancaster explained that the infinity symbol represented neurodiversity and autism.
I have to wonder if this person saw the rainbow and applied for a temp position just to complain.
Imagine being so afraid of The Big Gay that you fire two people for being part of another community that uses boldly colored stripes in their logo, a community that literally has a documented statistical preference for bold primary colors and patterns. Imagine your hate being so enormous that it can’t hit just one group of vulnerable minority children.

I don’t have to imagine anything at all to know what this is. Imagine having this experience most days!
