You seem impressed.  That sort of thing has always had a loud, loyal and limited audience. There is a reason Kirk Cameron movies get made. And a reason they have limited boutique releases. Almost the literal definition of preaching to the choir.

Then why would a public supported Library refuse to let him have a public reading?

Judging from the overflow  packed house that resulted when the Library changed its mind I would say the Choir just got a lot of bigger. 2500 people showed up at the Indianapolis Library.

What I wonder about the Left Behind series, in which Cameron starred, is when do they get to the other cheek?  Surely the right behind also deserves our consideration.

On the other hand no PR is ever more powerful than banning a book or performance.

The know it all Christians of my high school days tried it with Winesburg, Ohio.
The school library ordered 25 more copies of the Sherwood Anderson classic.

A tremendous lesson for the right to learn everytime they and you get incensed over trans reading performances or books the discuss sexuality and gender identity.

2500 hundred people show up to listen to a banned Christian author and you want to lecture them?

No. And you should learn English before trying Latin. Also, math.

According to the Indianapolis library the number of people attending Camerons homophobic pity party was not.2500 hundred, or.even 2500, but 750. Big enough a crowd you wonder at his need to lie about it. But then, it is the era of Trump.

But he will meet alone with similarly situated men. I am going to guess you do not comprehend why this is a serious equality issue.

Me, I wouldn't be allowing myself to be alone in the company of a man either.
Not a man, not a woman (they seem to be the ones making the most false allegations), and not children of any age.
100% protection.

I would sure hate to add hermaphrodites and non-binaries to Bambi's list of phobias.

...Katrina Spade, the founder of Recompose, a full service green funeral home in Seattle that offers human composting, said it offers an alternative for people wanting to align the disposition of their remains with how they lived their lives...

No more perfect surname was there for a funeral director.
