Baptist church elder says books included depiction of 6-year-old performing sex act
The leadership of a Baptist church in Kentucky says they support members of their congregation who choose to “not return” certain library books that contain LGBT-related themes, but denies the movement is a “church directive.”
Reformation Church of Shelbyville (RCS), located about 30 miles east of Louisville, says it all began in June 2024, when a family attending the church discovered more than a dozen “sexually perverse books,” prompting a video response from RCS evangelist Tanner Cartwright warning about the books. Many of the titles listed, according to RCS, promoted transgenderism and homosexuality, including My Two Dads by Claudia Harrington, Julian is a Mermaid by Jessica Love, and Beyond Magenta: Transgender Teens Speak Out, by Susan Kuklin, which, said the church, includes a story of a 6-year-old child performing oral sex.
At the time, RCS asked for permission from the Shelby County Public Library to hold a “Pastor’s Story Hour” event, but that request was denied. However, the church said it “took that well, because the reason given would also make a Drag Queen Story Hour improbable. We should have known there was something more to it.“
