House of Represenitives to Outlaw Gay Lit. Funding
This is not a moral issue, but a free speech issue. Rep. Gerald Allen of Alabama has placed a bill into the house that will outlaw all use of state funds to purchase or maintain books that contain homesexuality in them or were written by homosexuals. This is an absolute return to Mcarthyism. Under this bill any use of state funds toward any literature containing homosexuality would be class A Misdimeanor which in Alabama is a $2000.00 fine and up to a year in jail. Please send your Represenitives and Gerald Allen a letter letting them know you wish to keep things like Shakespeare and The Color Purple in our children's library. Thank You
