Gerald Allen and Alabama:
Idiocy South of the Mason-Dixon

Gerald Allen, a state legislator from Alabama, is presenting a bill to the State House that would ban books from public libraries (school libraries too) that were written by gay authors, or involve gay relationships, or mention them off-hand, or imply them, or talk about oral sex in a positive manner (I like blowjobs), or talk about oral sex in general. Specifically, "No public funds or public facilities shall be used by any state agency, public school, public library, or public college or university for the purchase, production, or promotion of printed or electronic materials or activities that, directly or indirectly, sanction, recognize, foster, or promote a lifestyle or actions prohibited by the sodomy and sexual misconduct laws of the state of Alabama." I'm sorry for the horrible choice of words here, but this law is fucking ridiculous. Seriously, that's the stupidest thing I've ever read, and I read Dan Quayle speech transcripts. If they were to pass this law, here's a list of authors who would be outright banned, simply because, in their private lives, they were homosexual:

Horatio Alger, Hans Christian Andersen, James M Barrie, James Beard, Brendan Behan, Rita Mae Brown, Samuel Butler, Sir Winston Churchill(experimented), Craig Claiborne, Jean Cocteau, E.M Forster, Aaron Fricke, Jean Genet, Andre Gide, David Leavitt, W. Somerset Maugham, Herman Melville, Gordon Merrick, Kate Millet, John Milton, Marcel Proust, Victoria Sackville-West, etc.

The list above is by no means extensive, and only lists a small number of well known gay, lesbian or bisexual authors. All of their works would be banned from public libraries in Alabama, just because they were homosexual. This is addressed to the good folks of Alabama who believe this is a great law: Nice job, you hate-mongering fear-shitting testicle-warts. Not only are you polluting the world with your stupidity, but you're also passing it on to the children, who now, under your guidance, have no chance of growing up to be good, decent, hard-working folks, and will instead be worthless piles of pig-shit. Just like you. Hope you're proud of yourselves. This one's for you:

Me, flipping your ignorant ass off. Pay no attention if
you're not from Alabama or an illiterate homo-phobe.
