Gay books in libraries

I wonder if parents are aware that some — if not all — county libraries are displaying gay and lesbian books in the front of the library because of their so-called celebrations in June. The library puts on displays for Black History Month, Christmas, Halloween, Pioneer Day and some others, but I don't believe that this is worth displaying, especially within the view of children.

I have no problems with these books being in the library, but displaying them pretends these are legitimate ways of living. I'm not LDS or a prude, but if you must show these books, please put them out of the view of children.
