Tempers flare as preacher, activists clash at library board meeting on LGTBQ+ books

A group of librarians will decide later this year if books on LGTBQ+ topics remain in the Harrison County Library System.

The topic attracted a crowd Monday to the regular meeting of the Harrison County Library Board, which heard from a preacher in favor of banning the books and saw a group of LGTBQ+ advocates pack a normally sleepy board meeting.

Things were tense after the meeting.

“Keep your religion at your church!” shouted an LGTBQ+ activist at the Rev. Blair Bradley as he left the West Biloxi Library.
