Alabama Lawmaker Wants Gay Book Ban

Build a "big hole and dump them in and bury them."

That's what should happen to books in public, school and college libraries that have gay themes, says Rep. Gerald Allen, a state lawmaker in Alabama who has proposed a bill banning books with gay themes and protagonists.

Under his legislation, public funds could no longer be used to buy "textbooks or library materials that recognize or promote homosexuality as an acceptable lifestyle."

Allen, who has sought to ban gay marriages in the state, says he offered the bill to protect Alabama children from the "homosexual agenda."

"Our culture, how we know it today, is under attack from every angle," he told reporters Tuesday.

If the bill becomes law, "public school textbooks could not present homosexuality as a genetic trait and public libraries couldn't offer books with gay or bisexual characters," said the paper.
