Question
[NOTE: We didn't get this as a submission to "Ask the Lawyer", but we wish we had...]
Our library board is considering a resolution to bar displays celebrating Pride Month. The ban focuses on, but is not limited to, displays in children's/YA areas. Is this a legal issue?
Answer
YES. Expressly barring library displays based on categories protected by law, such as sexual orientation and gender, is--among other things--a legal issue.
