Remember that librarians present materials, programming, and answers that do not discriminate; that preserve freedoms and serve the community.
Chase us away, and you lose democracy in information. It's that serious.

1. Here is my take on this. As a brown ovaried librarian in the 90's/00's.. (now retired) I can testify to the additional expectations placed on the "other.." The whole library system here was NOT diverse, and was staunchly stiffly whitemale oriented .. I experienced hostility from staff as well as customers over "cultural norms" being "violated.." Even though I had a degree from one of the most conservative universities in the state.
