<p>Actor <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/cowardice-kirk-cameron-slams-hollywood-studios-that-passed-on-lifemark-with-message-about-life/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kirk Cameron</a> — and a proposed story hour event promoting his latest faith-based book — have been rejected by 50 public libraries so far, publisher Brave Books says.</p>
<p>According to a Fox News Digital <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/lifestyle/kirk-cameron-denied-story-hour-slot-public-libraries-faith-kids-book" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> published early Wednesday morning, Cameron&#8217;s team reached out to dozens of public libraries in the hopes that some would be willing to host an event for his latest book, &#8220;As We Grow&#8221; — but at the time of publication, not a single one had returned a &#8220;yes.&#8221;</p>

<p>Among those rejecting <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/kirk-cameron-talks-lifemark-movie-that-proves-why-life-should-be-defended-at-all-costs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cameron&#8217;s</a> event was Rochambeau Public Library in Providence, Rhode Island — a library that hosts a recurring program for members of the LGBTQ+ community who are aged 12 or older called &#8220;<a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/385173210342395/385173227009060/?active_tab=about" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Queer Umbrella</a>.&#8221;</p>
<p>Queer Umbrella is billed as a &#8220;club and safe space where teens can learn, discuss and connect over queer history, art, community resources, and more.&#8221;</p>

<p>A representative from the Rochambeau Public Library told Cameron that they did not have any interest in hosting his event.</p>
<p>&#8220;No, we will pass on having you run a program in our space,&#8221; the library said, adding, &#8220;We are a very queer-friendly library. Our messaging does not align &#8230; You can fill out the form to reserve space, to run the program in our space — but we won’t run your program.&#8221;</p>
<p>Brave Books also reached out to City Heights/Weingart Branch Library in San Diego — another library that regularly hosts <a href="https://sandiego.librarymarket.com/events/month/2022/11?program_types%5B478%5D=478&amp;branches%5B764%5D=764&amp;branches%5B416%5D=416&amp;branches%5B418%5D=418&amp;branches%5B419%5D=419&amp;branches%5B420%5D=420&amp;branches%5B421%5D=421&amp;branches%5B422%5D=422&amp;branches%5B796%5D=796&amp;branches%5B423%5D=423&amp;branches%5B424%5D=424&amp;branches%5B425%5D=425&amp;branches%5B426%5D=426&amp;branches%5B427%5D=427&amp;branches%5B428%5D=428&amp;branches%5B429%5D=429&amp;branches%5B430%5D=430&amp;branches%5B452%5D=452&amp;branches%5B431%5D=431&amp;branches%5B432%5D=432&amp;branches%5B433%5D=433&amp;branches%5B434%5D=434&amp;branches%5B435%5D=435&amp;branches%5B436%5D=436&amp;branches%5B437%5D=437&amp;branches%5B438%5D=438&amp;branches%5B439%5D=439&amp;branches%5B440%5D=440&amp;branches%5B441%5D=441&amp;branches%5B442%5D=442&amp;branches%5B443%5D=443&amp;branches%5B444%5D=444&amp;branches%5B445%5D=445&amp;branches%5B446%5D=446&amp;branches%5B447%5D=447&amp;branches%5B448%5D=448&amp;branches%5B449%5D=449&amp;branches%5B450%5D=450&amp;branches%5B451%5D=451&amp;branches%5B417%5D=417" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LGBTQ+ events</a> — and received a similar response.</p>
<p>&#8220;I don’t think that’s something that we would do,&#8221; someone from the library explained. &#8220;Because of how diverse our community is, I don’t know how many people you would get.&#8221;</p>
<p>After receiving dozens of similar responses, Cameron observed, &#8220;This is proof that more than ever, we are getting destroyed in the battle for the hearts and minds of our children &#8230; Publicly funded libraries are green-lighting ‘gender marker and name change clinics’ while denying a story time that would involve the reading of a book that teaches biblical wisdom. How much more clear can it get? We have to start fighting back, or we will lose our kids and this country.&#8221;</p>
<p>A number of people on Twitter made the same assessment that Cameron had.</p>
<p>&#8220;The day has officially come where drag queen book stories are encouraged but Kirk Cameron and his Christian books are banned &#8230;&#8221; Graham Allen tweeted.</p>

<p>Todd Starnes added, &#8220;50 taxpayer-funded libraries reject a story time for a faith-based book for kids written by Kirk Cameron. Those same libraries host queer story time hours. Gays are welcome, but God is not.&#8221;</p>
