One night, a student with known anti-gay sentiments steals a number of books by LGBTQ+ authors from a campus library exhibit. He leaves a note on the exhibit table that reads, “Gay and lesbian books don’t belong in our library.”
When he is caught leaving the library with a large bag of books, he starts shouting that LGBTQ+ students have been getting too much attention on campus and he was tired of it.
