A Library Wouldn't Let These Artists Hang A Poster About Safer LGBTQ Sex

Two artists are disappointed after moving their show that included LGBTQ sex education from a Calgary Public Library branch after the library objected to some of the content.

The show, which the pair have shown in other cities, examines femme identities and includes work about safer LGBTQ sex, including a video that displays objects like dental dams and gloves."We were speaking to one of the librarians there and asked them to read through [a poster] and at that point they got their manager," Sears-Williams told BuzzFeed News.

Mary Kapusta, a spokesperson for the Calgary Public Library, confirmed to BuzzFeed News that a poster that included the"Do's and Don'ts of Fisting" was the point of contention. She said the library stands with the manager's decision. "I said that we would have to move venues then because we are not willing to compromise and take this part of the exhibition," said Sears-Williams."Given the violent history of erasure of queer sexual health education and its detrimental affects, removal of such conversation is a form of censorship which directly affects the livelihoods of queer and trans people," the statement said.

This title is misleading. The Library was holding a femme exhibit showcase (not hanging it up for good) and the Library disapproved of one of the pieces when the artists arrived, this is after the library gave the green light prior to the showcase.

Wow, I remember posters in the library used to just say 'I ❤️ Reading'

Library wouldn't let these artists hang a poster about LGBTQ sex. 🥺😳🧐😢

Aka ugly sex

Well I’m gay (before y’all jump my ass) but I don’t think a library is the place for safe sex ads. Never seen that shit at my library. That’s what the bathroom at Publix is for

No. Just no. I take my child to the library every week. It is not appropriate to have ANY kind of sexual posters up for all to see. Why would anybody think this is okay or get upset for any push-back from it? Crazy.

Yup. I think we are all okay with not having LGBQRSTUVWXYZ sex posters hanging throughout a child’s public library. Sorry Democratic leftists, can’t let your craziness win here. Don’t worry I’m sure you’ll still have your drag queen shows there. (No joke, look it up, gross)

Well, you should have included the poster in this article.

In all honesty, that isn't really the place for it anyway.

Man Watches Video About Habits Of Effective Artists So He Too Can Be Effective ArtistSEATTLE—Hoping to pick up a few tips on “maximizing his creative toolkit,” local poet Ian Kelly, 31, was reportedly watching a video about the habits of effective artists Thursday so that he, too, could be an effective artist. “These tips are what the best of the best do, practices that the leading artistic minds perform every day,” said Kelly, who jotted down a few notes from the seven-minute-long YouTube video stressing the importance of discipline and integrity as an artist looking to build a legacy of transparency and innovation. “It’s pretty inspiring to think that I could be just like Pablo Neruda if I only set efficient goals and get feedback. Oh, and that’s interesting about Beethoven. I hope that I, too, can achieve that reach. Huh, I wonder what Da Vinci watched to become so effective? Probably a play or a puppet show.” At press time, Kelly had left the video behind after clicking on an ad from MasterClass.
