Hello Everyone, I just got back from checking out my local book store. Did you know they have a section of gay and lesbiean book shelves. Its labeled young readers and ckeverly mixed with what was called urban supernatural. What surprised me is the shear volume of authors and books for this lifestyle. About 50 feet of shelving, Its clearly labeled and marketed twords young people. Also were the people working their. Blue, green and pink hair are the primary colors of the staff, and the checkout girl? She was styled as a man, looks like a man but sounds like a woman? I had no idea what i was dealing with. The WOKE, is here and its sad, I remember how beautiful the atmosphere used to be. But now I don't recognize the store i use to love. Its become the new Starbucks, very disturbing. See you later I will be taking my children elsewhere.

Don't ever call Barns and Noble a "local book store". That's like calling Walmart the local bakery. They're a massive, woke corporation that will gladly pander to the .000001% over actual customers.
You're absolutely right. I let my annual membership to there lapse a few years ago, and I have not been back since.
In this case though, it's important to remember that B&N and others like them (even public libraries, sad to say) are simply the visible end of the supply chain. In almost all cases, these entities are not the suppliers of this crap. Without publishers who recruit authors & illustrators (via agents) these """Diverse"""" books would not exist. See something you find offensive? Look on the book spine or the first few pages to see who published it. Sometimes it's a smaller imprint of a larger publishing house. This is the root of the rot, the source of the slime. Do not forget these entities in your boycotting efforts. You'd be amazed how broad they are. Speak to your networks, get the word out. We need to do to these publishing houses what we're already doing to entities like the NY Slimes & the Washington ComPost.
Washington ComPost…LOL. You must be from DC area.
No, but I visited there once when I was a kid.
I’m from DC and locals call it that. I think Chris Plante coined the phrase.
Bud Light them.
