This is 100% discrimination even speaking as a straight furry, this is wrong. WE got the save those books. What is going to happen next? The mayor making being apart of the LGBTQ community illegal like it was back in the 1950s. Send people to prison for the crime of love. I say NO!!! We MUST stand up against hate in any form
