LINK Mississippi mayor withholds library funds unless LGBTQ+ books are purged
There’s a battle brewing in Ridgeland, Mississippi over whether LGBTQ+ literature should be available in the public library, and naturally, Jesus is involved.
The controversy centers around Mayor Gene McGee, who recently withheld a $110,000 payment to the Madison County Library System — roughly 5% of its yearly budget. When the library system’s director Tonja Johnson inquired about the money, she was told that McGee wouldn’t release it unless the system purged its shelves of all “homosexual materials.”

Well, well, lookie here.
An elected government official withholding public funds over his religious beliefs that homosexuality is "bad".
Sounds like a clear violation of the Constitution's establishment clause.
I think the FFRF would be interested in this case.

For sure they are aware of it. Often, though, they need a local to file a complaint through FFRF.
Mayor Gene McGee is a vile little shit and he is unfit to be a member of society. Bugger him thrice daily with a Big Black Cock.
