An Anti-LGBTQ Texas Mom Out to Ban Library Books Gets Pushback from Her Gay Son

[TexasTowelie]

Weston Brown saw a video of his mom speaking at a school board meeting and decided to speak up.


Weston Brown was scrolling through Twitter last month when he came across a video that made his chest tighten. It showed a woman at a school board meeting in North Texas, calling on district leaders to ask for forgiveness.

“Repentance is the word that’s on my heart,” she said near the start of the video.

For months, the woman in the clip had been demanding that the Granbury Independent School District ban from its libraries dozens of books that contained descriptions of sex or LGBTQ themes — books that she believed could be damaging to the hearts and minds of students. Unsatisfied after a district committee that she served on voted to remove only a handful of titles, the woman filed a police report in May accusing school employees of providing pornography to children, triggering a criminal investigation by Hood County.

Now, in the video that Weston found online, she was telling the school board that a local Christian pastor, rather than librarians, should decide which books should be allowed on public school shelves. “He would never steer you wrong,” she said.

The clip ended with the woman striding away from the lectern, and the audience showering her with applause.

1. Separation of church and state is fundamental

This makes me sick.our country built on the church staying out of politics. If course, let the pastor do it if his church gives up it's tax free status and he can no longer deduct his housing allowance and other benefits. I say he because these kind of religious bigots would not allow a female pastor.

Virtually every mainline denomination has no issues with LGBTQ+ people. The Methodist are about to rip themselves into shreds over one of these hateful asshats.

2. Heartbreaking.

I hope all the poor kids raised in this narrow, ignorant environment break free like Weston has, though no doubt his parents’ treatment of him will have lifelong effects.

3. Ah, a Dugger wannabe...9 children!!! All homeschooled. She violates every Christian principle,

but thinks pastors should choose library books. So sick and tired of the fake Christians!

4. These types of stories always break my heart

I can't imagine excommunicating my children.

Don't be a parent if you cannot love your children unconditionally.

5. What a fucked up mother

My dad is the same way like this. I told him fuck your God and your family when I came out and had my girlfriend there for support
