A South Carolina county GOP group is pushing the local library to ban any LGBTQ topics in the kids and teen sections.

The group also checked out a bunch of books with LGBTQ characters and is holding them hostage in the basement of their offices

The Greenville County Republican Party wants County Council to investigate who ordered and displayed a number of LGBTQ children’s books at public libraries earlier this year.

It also wants the county to ban books that mention LGBTQ topics from the children and juvenile sections of the county’s libraries.

The party’s executive committee unanimously passed a resolution Sept. 12 that called on County Council to take up the matter. County Councilman Joe Dill said he plans to introduce the resolution soon, once county staff puts it into the language and format used for county binding resolutions.

The topic is not listed on the council’s Sept. 20 agenda.

The resolution names a handful of children’s book titles it says have been found at county libraries that promote “transsexuality and LGBTQ ideology to children in Greenville County.”

The resolution also stated the party’s position to “formally denounce any and all sexual indoctrination of children in government-funded schools and libraries.”
