Gay Sex Stays!


Sarah Palin would not approve!

A Missoula, Montana, library board voted 5-0 this week to keep The Joy of Gay Sex on the shelves after local readers balked at the “pornographic” material:

Board chairwoman Carole Byrnes acknowledged the book, titled The Joy of Gay Sex, included graphic pictures and descriptions but said she viewed it as an instructional, education manual that shouldn’t be censored.

Helena resident Paul Cohen found the book during a visit to the library in February and requested that it be removed. He described the book as “pornographic” and said the library was negligent in providing a “safe place” for children and adolescents.

The library’s collection review committee recommended keeping the book, and director Judy Hart agreed. She said it was the library’s obligation to provide information to all elements of society.

Yes, even the buggers.
