NW Iowa religious activist burns LGBTQ library books in protest of OC Pride

ORANGE CITY, Iowa -- The leader of a northwest Iowa pro-life, anti-homosexuality group on Friday made a Facebook Live video in which he burned several books from the Orange City Public Library, during the city's OC Pride event last weekend.

Paul Dorr, director of Ocheyedan-based Rescue the Perishing, a group that he describes in the video as "a crisis center and pro-life, pro-family movement," said in an interview with the Journal Sunday that his protest was the result of his outrage at several things in Orange City and in the region. The events of OC Pride, a local LGBTQ festival, were, in essence, the straw that broke the camel's back for Dorr.

1. "in favor of a Biblical, marriage-based curriculum"

There is so much sex and violence in the Bible.

3. Some A-hole BURNS BOOKS, Hitler style

In all, four books were thrown into the fire: David Levithan's "Two Boys Kissing"; Suzanne and Max Lang's "Families, Families, Families!"; Gayle E. Pitman's "This Day in June"; and Christine Baldacchino's "Morris Micklewhite and the Tangerine Dress."

5. I suspect the Orange City Public Library took a very dim view of this activity.

Destruction of public property is usually frowned upon.

You want to burn books, go buy your own. The publisher will appreciate the sales and you are free to destroy your own property if it makes you happy.
