Kirk Cameron to appear at two public libraries even as residents call his agenda 'ugly' and 'unwelcome'

Actor-writer Kirk Cameron will be holding a story-hour program for his new children's book at two public libraries soon, but some residents say his agenda is "ugly" and "unwelcome."

"We don’t want to support this voice’s attempt to generate controversy, divide people, push an agenda, raise his profile and make money off it," the residents also wrote, in part. "The library is under no obligation to promote their program and we can ignore it, too," said one letter writer about Cameron and his publisher, Brave Books. "It is the policy of the Library Board of Trustees to provide all members of the community with equal access to library resources and facilities." Two public libraries recently engaged with Cameron's publisher for room bookings. "Thank you for thinking of us, but we are not interested in this program." "They still are sponsoring ‘drag queen story hours’ but they refuse to sponsor Kirk's book. That's a huge deal." "We are really looking at authors who are diverse. Authors of color. That’s really been our focus." Maureen Mackey is managing editor of lifestyle for Fox News Digital.

Noting that they moved to the town to "raise our children" in a "wonderful community," the two writers added, "What makes us not so typical is that we have a child (they/them) who identifies as LGBTQ+ and is moving along the gender spectrum. As they were assigned male at birth, the assumption is that they are a boy, but they are not."
