Kenosha’s activist head librarian Barbara Brattin (D) has set up displays in the libraries to celebrate “International Transgender Day of Visibility” using tax dollars. Some upset parents sent us some photos of such displays. They are not just at city libraries, but also in the county.

Brattin, (64), is actively looking for another job and this isn’t her first time using tax dollars to advocate for her liberal views.

This time last year, she attempted to interfere in the election before the mayor shut her down. Last summer, she tried to ban guns in the libraries which was against city ordinance.

We emailed Brattin to ask her why she thought this was appropriate, and she didn’t respond.

  1. What the fuck is wrong with this woman ?
    Does she consider herself a brave and courageous role model ?
    Since when is it a fucking librarians job to promote the LBGTQ agenda ?
    For the love of God please get the fuck out of Kenosha go find some other public library in some uber liberal community to promote your agenda.
    No one gives a fuck about your LBGTQ agenda you smirky, delusional shit disturber.
    You are not helping anyone, especially the trans community.
    You are offending and inciting the vast majority of taxpayers to get attention.
    Please leave Kenosha

    Time to start holding them accountable for any and all information they are exposing children under the age of 18 to.

    Wisconsin needs to be front and center along with the 30 other states in passing the “protect the children” legislation platform because these far left insane fucktards have now become completely unhinged.

    Any normal rational human being would agree that much of this is child abuse and child sexual mutilation.

    Doctors, parents and anyone else aiding trans youth under 18 with medical intervention must face severe penalties and jail time.

    We waited far too long with Roe V Wade and these fuckers allowed 63M American babies .

    Thank God we are now stopping them.

    The pathological, psychotic trans cult now has 1.6M members ages 13 and above that identify as transgender.

    If we do not shut them down now and drive them back into the shadows they will not stop.

    1. You are so ignorant. You probably go to church every Sunday and call yourself a “Christian,” too. How about doing some research on the topic before spewing such hate. Do you honestly think transgender individuals would choose to be transgender!? “Hide in the shadows??)” You are the one who should hide in the shadows! Show some compassion to all people!!

  4. When you vote in socalist to run the city and they I turn place socalist in key positions to influence public opinion this is the result. Note she is using city building and taxpayer money to forward socalist agenda and not one city alderman or the mayor has raised a concern! You get what you vote for Kenosha!

  5. I’m having a hard time finding an email for someone at the Salem library. I’d like an Easter display with some books about Jesus’ resurrection; if they can post about their religion (trans) they need to accommodate mine.

    1. Trans is not a religion. I do agree with you though that thoughtful displays for all religions would be nice.

  7. I am campaigning on behalf of Lamar Madison for KUSD board. If I walked into the southeast library and said I would appreciate displaying a Lamar Madison sign and want to hand out Lamar’s election flyer to patrons, I would get the heave ho. After all, Lamar pays real estate taxes that support the library, and so do I. Maybe I’ll make a NA beer run at Festival and stop by the library to see what they say.

    1. I am replying to myself. I did go to the library on 80th St, and nothing of consequence was readily evident about “the day”. Perhaps the word got out that libraries are funded by a wide swath of real estate taxpayers and
      are about books, not controversial cultural and political issues.

      1. Thanks for checking it out. Glad they took down what they originally had up or at least put it somewhere else. Hopefully not in the kids section though.

  8. Mau too worried about his drug of choice to deal with the freakshow. Havent heard from the mayor on anything.

    1. Unfortunately I have no legal jurisdiction over these type of library activities. I’m very vocal about cutting the library budget, but I have no support from any other council members. I’m open to suggestions.

  9. I myself ,along with many other people could quite literally give a rats fuck if someone wants to become transgender. This is America, we are a free nation and if people want to begin to deform and mutilate their body that is their business. If they develop psychological, mental health issues and need extensive therapy and medication to get through their life so be it. If they want to end their life as a result of their pain and suffering I will say a prayer that they find peace. Unfortunately THEIR FUCKING TRANS ISSUES ARE NOT MY FUCKING PROBLEM !!!!!!! Please leave the other %99.99999999 of us the fuck alone and stop recruiting and corrupting our children you sick, twisted people. It is not difficult for anyone to understand why the Muslim extremists hate our fucking guts and want to kill Americans in my opinion.

  10. Scientific fact – We’re all transgender to some extent. Everyone has male and female attributes. People under the age of 30 usually understand and accept that. Don’t make this the Grumpy Old Men site.

  11. Not sure if you guys know but transgender and drag queens have been around for a long time. Not sure why everyone is so outraged by this now!? Probably because they secretly want to try it out haha.
    So much with this “Grooming,grooming,grooming” tell me where and when this happened. MFr’s probably wish they are being groomed.
    Does this really effect you that much? If I don’t agree with something, guess what I don’t go there. It’s that easy.

    1. Yes, it’s been around for a long time, but not displayed for everyone to see. It’s not okay to make our kids believe it’s “normal”. It’s not. The books should not be available to anyone under the age of 18. Libraries are open to the public and kids will be there to look at books, but they do not need these kind displayed.
