    Isn’t it literally a legal obligation for them to rent their rooms to anyone who wants? I don’t think it’s problematic of the library for them to rent rooms to people who are evil, as long as said people are following all applicable laws.

    This is one of the few cases where the first amendment literally does apply. It does suck to see transphobes at the library, but it’s a public institution. They don’t have a choice.
