Do you see rainbow-trans-BLM flags everywhere you take your kids? We do. And it has to stop.
RECLAIM YOUR PUBLIC LIBRARY
Hide the Pride with us in June!
The Goal
Public libraries were once a summer destination hangout where children and parents can go for free resources, books, computer access, and community. And as public spaces, they should stay that way.
But during “Pride Month,” and even throughout the year, many libraries fill their children's sections with books, images, and symbols - not to mention drag queen story hours - that promote the LGBTQ agenda to very young children.
So we are equipping you to fight back and reclaim your library for your kids.
We are going to “Hide the Pride.”
Protect our kids. Run for office.
Learn HowIt's simple. Hide the Pride in 4 steps.
-
Print Make a copy of CatholicVote's template and add in your information. Print and sign - and encourage your friends to sign, too!
-
Go to the Library Take CatholicVote's printable book list and empty the Pride displays and shelves. Note: You don't have to wait for the Pride display or the drag show… the books are already there.
-
Check Out Books Take the books to the front desk and check them all out.
-
Leave the Letter Ask to speak to the head librarian, if available, and give her the signed letter stating why you are removing the materials. If he or she is unavailable, leave the letter with the front desk.
As a law-abiding citizen, return the books when they come due. But request a response to your letter if you have not yet received one.
Resources
This year, CatholicVote's printable book lists has three categories: children's books, middle school books, and young adult books. These are titles used across the United States in public schools and libraries. They push eroticism, glorify LGBTQ identities, undermine parental rights, and are 100% contrary to the Church's teaching on love and sexuality.
GRAPHIC CONTENT WARNING: Many of these titles include graphic images of nudity and sex acts. Parents should exercise caution when storing these books in their homes.

Pro tips from last year's participants
“Check your library’s policy on checking out books first! That way, if the librarian tells you you can’t take them all, you can calmly answer with the library’s own policy.”
Joseph from Massachusetts
“Not all of the books are in the Pride display itself. Some books pushing eroticism and trans ideology stay on the shelves – so it really helped that I went with a couple of my friends. They were able to look for books not on display and take those, too!”
Kimberly from Indiana
“I loved this, because it wasn’t a protest or march. It wasn’t an argument, but it was clear what we were there for once we handed in our letter. Totally something I can do!”
Carrie from Wisconsin
“Don’t go by yourself if you’re shy! I took a buddy, and it was so much easier.”
Nick from Michigan
