When your hate backfires. "Residents Flood #Library With New Copies of #LGBTQ #Books Stolen by Anti-#Pride Protestors When the manager of a #SanDiego library learned protestors had deliberately checked out every single LGBTQ book, with the intention of holding them forever hostage, she took her story to the media. (...) After the San Diego Union-Tribune ran an article about the books being hijacked, Peterson — who oversees the Rancho Peñasquitos branch of the San Diego Public Library — was inundated with brand-new replacements. (...) Amazon boxes by the dozens started arriving at the library after the initial article, containing copies of the books that had been taken by the anti-LGBTQ protestors. In addition, roughly 180 people — mostly San Diegans — donated more than $15,000 to the library system. The city agreed to match that amount, meaning there's more than $30,000 earmarked for more LGBTQ-themed materials and programming." 🔗: https://themessenger.com/news/residents-flood-library-with-new-copies-of-lgbtq-books-stolen-by-anti-pride-protestors #LGBTQIA+
