Library lists book as potentially “sexually explicit” because the author’s name is literally “Gay”. The library director admitted that the book was targeted because of the word “gay.”

  1. >*“This proves, as always, that censorship is never about limiting access to this book or that one. It is about sending the message to children that certain ideas – or even certain people – are not worthy of discussion or acknowledgment or consideration,” Brassard continued. “This is a hateful message in a place like a public library, where all children are meant to feel safe, and where their curiosity about the world is meant to be nurtured.*

  2. No matter how dumb you think Republicans are, they’re even dumber.

  3. Orthopedists in ‘Bama must be working overtime what with all the knee-jerking.

  4. As with pearls thrown before swine, so goes sensible thoughts thrown before the Republican Clown Car… :O

  5. There goes the dictionaries. “Gay,” “lesbian “, “sex”, “pervert”, and a whole bunch of other explicit words.

  6. No more Marvin Gaye songs I guess…🤷‍♂️

    …and now we can’t watch the Warriors when Rudy is in the floor…🤷‍♂️

  7. There’s many homosexual within the Republican Ranks…and all they are doing is trying to play some 1950’s “**hide that fact**”.

    We see it in the media of all the child molestation, sexing up school kids, child porn and when it reported its “likely” 98% or more of them aspire to Republicanism or some faction of Republicanism’s Regiments.

    In those Rural Areas all those kids who end up living with grandparents, did not just grow in a filed like a tomato’s on a vine.

    Decades ago, they tried to hide the fact by sending their daughters off *claiming they were in boarding school or some ruse* they used to send her some place to give birth and turn the baby over to an adoption agency. *All these babies in orphanages did not just fall out of the sky. Then these same Right Wing Conservatives don’t give a damn about those kids once they are dumped in an Orphanage.*

    * *Remember last year and this year they uncovered all those grave at the orphanages where kids were buried, including the native American kids they took from their families, and some of them ended up dead and other were fed that indoctrination of white nationalist bullshit.*

    History has lots of details Republicanism and Conservatives would love to keep hidden, but investigative reporters continue to find more and more of these facts.

    There’s no limit to the number of women trapped in these Right Wing enclaves struggling with babies and can’t get any help, and the women are stuck in low paying jobs or on public assistance to ensure they don’t have the relief of being able to report the abuse and get help.

    They want to hide the truth by banning any books that expose the truth.

    * *For the 100 yrs of Jim Crow, the racial sex abuse that happen is astronomical. and the 100’s of years of slavery which they want hidden, they don’t want anything exposed of the rapes, not just of women, but girls and boys and the men that were raped by the racist and slave owners, when black people had no means of recourse to legally deal with it.*

    They don’t want it talked about as to how many black people were used in illegal and illicit and medical experimentations.

    *The truths of history has much to tell of the barbaric and savage acts that were engaged upon and against black people, that went on for 100’s of years. They saw black people as less than human, so they experimented on black people, the same as they experiment today, on dogs, monkeys and rats.*

    ​

    * *When it came to sex… these various fetish freaks did not just start existing in this day and time, they have always existed. Today, some segments of white people talk all this negative stuff about black women, but they could not keep themselves from pursuing and engaging black women sexually, because they know she could not defend herself in any of the Jim Crow courts. When it came to homosexuals, they used “laws” to keep the homosexuals they engaged from going to the authorities and reporting the abuse*.

    This current day continuing exposure of school kids being sexualized by women, did not just start in the past few years. It just is easier now for the kids to speak up and tell somebody.

    *We’ve heard countless Porn entertainers and street walkers tell of how they came from conservatives homes and how they were abused either by family members or incest. They’ve been saying it for decades, and people pretended they did not hear them.*

    **Kids don’t run away from good homes and good family, they run away from abusive homes and families…**

    # Banning books won’t hide any of these things.

  8. Perhaps institutions shouldn’t let the deliberately ignorant make decisions for the rest of the population

  9. They could literally do nothing and seem less stupid.

  10. This really is starting to feel more and more like some sort of collective psychosis.

    Not for the librarian here – they are probably just reacting to the insane laws and crazies that are going around flagging books. But this is like the height of braindead. Like I seriously don’t know how these people can breathe involuntarily if they take it this far.

  11. I just don’t understand. This whole movement has been proven to be a fraud. Why is this not being shouted from the rooftops?

  12. The reasoning is even more maddening. They are saying that introducing children to the idea of LGBTQ characters is for the purpose of “grooming” them, which is disgusting. Acknowledging that other types of lifestyles exist is now “grooming”. This is some dark ages line of thinking.

  13. We are like two or three steps away from all American education being fifty kids on virtual learning, with machines that are 3000 percent marked up by unregulated sales to Christian schools, and supervised by part time employees pulled from 10 AM Sunday school programs instead of actual classroom teachers. Sucks to be born right now.

  14. By that definition, any book that portrays a mummy and daddy is sexually explicit for depicting a heterosexual relationship.

  15. Allegedly the south is looking at Little Red Riding Hood as inappropriate. At the end of the story the wolf is in drag. And he is laying in the bed with his eyes open: clearly“woke”.

  16. The most shocking thing about this article is that Alabama has enough people that know how to read to justify a library.

  17. Maybe we can retroactively assign editorial rights on all Bibles to B. Gay? Just stamp them all.

  18. My library has a shelf of banned books right as you enter, great way to get people reading! Fuck all the insecure little Christian pediphiles trying to control others!

  19. > She insisted that there is no intention to target LGBTQ+ people even while the library is putting books with any mention of the word “gay” under scrutiny.

    Oh my god oh my GOD just admit it just fucking ADMIT IT, OWN what you are doing without a reporter having to prod you into it and if you feel as though you’re being pressured to do it, SAY THAT you utter fucking cowards. CHRIST I’m sick of this. Mneh mneh we’re not targeting LGBT people, we have no problem with LGBT people! Yeah, no, fuck you, you either have a problem with LGBT people or you’re happy to enable people who do.
