Vast limp-wrist conspiracy
I doubt Alabama State Representative Gerald Allen (Republican) is much of a reader, given his recent bill to ban from public libraries any books written by gay authors or featuring gay characters. "I don't look at it as censorship," says Gerald Allen. "I look at it as protecting the hearts and souls and minds of our children."
But in book after book, Allen reads what he calls the "homosexual agenda," and he's alarmed."It's not healthy for America, it doesn't fit what we stand for," says Allen. "And they will do whatever it takes to reach their goal."
I don't get this hysterical fear of the "homosexual agenda" by some social conservatives. Does this guy really think that an organized vast limp-wrist conspiracy has been injecting literature with homosexuality for hundreds of years, secretly hoping to turn the whole world gay? I mean, I knew The Gay was contagious, but I didn't know it could be spread by simply reading about it.
The CBS article lists Tennessee Williams, Truman Capote, Gore Vidal, and Alice Walker as possible bannees, and Andrew Sullivan names Shakespeare, Wilde, Auden, and Proust. I couldn't think of any other authors or books that would be banned off the top of my head, but if Allen wants to ban any book that has a gay scene or gay character, I seem to remember a few references to homosexuality in the Bible.
