This is just amazing: A public library in Utah has refused to remove gay-themed books and a “gay and lesbian pride month” sign, even after several complaints by stupid Mormons. Normally, I would expect the local government to support such censorship, but a library official said, “We’re simply recognizing we have gay citizens. They pay taxes. We’re committed to serving them as we would any other part of the population.” This is a nearly unheard of stance in Utah, and I praise the library for saying “fuck you” to all the assholes who voiced complaints.
Oh, and you can’t tell me the little boy in the picture in that article is picketing of his own free will. I’m willing to bet he doesn’t really give a shit about the whole deal, but his dad made him stand there holding that sign. That’s what really makes me sick about this state–children are told what to believe starting from the time they’re able to understand human speech, and not given a choice in the matter. The LDS church baptizes children at age 8…way too young to make informed decisions about anything as important as which religion to choose, if any.
