Forbidden love



Yet another fundie attempt at book-banning. This one's particularly funny.

(Bentonville, Arkansas) A Bentonville, Arkansas man is demanding the city pay him $20,000 for the pain and suffering of his sons after they discovered a book on lesbian sex in their local library.

"[They were] greatly disturbed" said Earl Adams his letter to the city. "[We had] many sleepless nights in our house."

The boys, aged fourteen and sixteen, stumbled accross the book while looking for material on military academies.

Yeah, right.


One commenter at Pam's House Blend quipped:
He could tell his sons were traumatized because when they got home from the library, they locked themselves in their bedrooms and moaned.


In a strange sort of compromise, the library board removed the book, but said they would look for a "more appropriate" book about lesbian sex. Otherwise,"The Whole Lesbian Sex Book" will be returned to the shelves.



Book-banning at Dirty John Bonny earlier here (balls), and here (Harry Potter and Fahrenheit 451).

Banned books at the American Library Association.
