Update on the effort by some MO Republican legislators to prevent the display of LGBTQ history in the Missouri Statehouse. 1/

The official word has become that the State Museum did not follow MO state law in securing permissions to display the exhibit and that's why it was taken down. I am not convinced by this explanation. /2

First, as the @MO_Independent reports, meeting minutes of the board in question show that no exhibit has ever needed state approval before. /3

@MO_Independent Second, it's worth noting that the Republican legislative aid who complained about the exhibit was not harping about procedure. /4

@MO_Independent So, if procedure is the only issue, I’d like to know when the state museums plans to secure those necessary permissions and display Making History. /finis
