A case in Hillsborough County, Florida.The Board of Directors of the 
local library was ignored because a County Commissioner was 
against the library celebrating Gay Pride month. A policy was made to 
take down a display of books by Gay authors.
  I can easily see a museum board deciding on a religious basis that 
the art of a Gay person could not be exhibited.
   There needs to be awareness that the times are very much 
amenable to religious bias shutting down the public sphere.
