War on Faith? Or Bigots Using God to War Against Americans?

A Southern lawmaker actually has put forth a bill that will make it illegal for any public library to buy the work - books, plays, artwork, etc. - by a gay American.

From CBS News:

Republican Alabama lawmaker Gerald Allen says homosexuality is an unacceptable lifestyle. As CBS News Correspondent Mark Strassmann reports, under his bill, public school libraries could no longer buy new copies of plays or books by gay authors, or about gay characters.

"I don't look at it as censorship," says State Representative Gerald Allen. "I look at it as protecting the hearts and souls and minds of our children."

He doesn't see it as censorship and I don't see it as anything more than bigotry.

How fucking dare he?

Why do I care since I'm not a gay author? Because in fairly recent history, we've had such efforts against the works of dissidents, against Jews, against anyone who could be perceived or labeled a Communist. Some of our best and brightest have been black-listed.
