Gay book ban goal of state lawmaker

"MONTGOMERY - An Alabama lawmaker who sought to ban gay marriages now wants to ban novels with gay characters from public libraries, including university libraries.

A bill by Rep. Gerald Allen, R-Cottondale, would prohibit the use of public funds for 'the purchase of textbooks or library materials that recognize or promote homosexuality as an acceptable lifestyle.' Allen said he filed the bill to protect children from the 'homosexual agenda.'"

I really can't deal with people like this. I know some individuals who can, but I can't... I just want to yell "Off with their heads!" It's completely irrational and offensive to me and everyone I know.  ¶
