Pa. commissioners named LGBTQ accumulating a ‘hate group’ and denied money to library exactly where it was to meet up with. So citizens stepped in.

Even though one particular commissioner, Paula Shives, voted to approve the funding, the county’s other two commissioners, Randy Bunch and Stuart Ulsh, refused to indicator off on it. Their reasoning, they reported, is that the library had not long ago agreed to host a biweekly LGBTQ assist team — a gathering with which the two Republican commissioners did not concur. The spending budget raise would not have funded the LGBTQ assist group, according to library officials.
