Libraries Are Banning Books Regarding Homosexuality

The mandate of most schools is to provide the most information available on a topic to their students, so as to provide a wide range of ideas on any given subject, to ensure the student receives a well rounded and full education (or at least it should be).  In practice however this usually never the case as political correctness, and liberal emotional sensibilities usually get in the way.  This is even more so true when it comes to Leftist pet-projects like Homosexuality.

With the increasing influx of new information, and personal stories, emerging on the reality of homosexuality which goes against the conditioned general understandings, Leftists are finding effective ways of shutting down all debate on the subject, and further ensuring that only their emotional understanding on the concept of homosexuality can be taught or held.  To ensure that no actual debate takes place, and the students aren’t allowed to have a differing opinion on this subject, they are banning books.

Visit most public school libraries and you’ll find an array of books that address the subject of homosexuality. Many include sexually explicit content, and some even include graphic images.

But if you’re looking for a book that refers to the possibility that homosexuality can be “reversed,” a Chicago-based group says your best bet is the banned books list.

Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays & Gays (PFOX) says there’s an entire community of people across the world who say that their sexual orientation changed from gay to straight. But they’re not getting their message out, the group says, because libraries across the country refuse to carry literature that describes these experiences or any studies that support them.

{The Article}

Despite the Left’s claim of being “liberals”, and the vanguard of a liaise fair attitude toward lifestyle choices, and free speech this is rarely the case in reality – especially when it comes to one of their pet racial, class, or gender groups.

Although only the “right-wing Christian Conservatives” get the negative press, and thus bad reputation for “attempting to control society”, and banish any “sin” from the commonplace of ideas it is often the Left who most resembles what the “right-wing” is accused of.  This is simply just another example!

The same Leftists that are so set against a personal story from an actual “ex-homosexual”, have absolutely no problem with providing explicit sexual books to these same students.  Even further exposing the hypocrisy of the Left, it isn’t hard to imagine what the response of the crusaders of political correctness would be if instead the situation was flipped and it was the Right which was attempting to ban books for this explicit sexual nature.

So much for intellectual freedom – political correctness is paramount!

Salon Smear of the Day

It must not have been easy with Sarah Palin’s approval rating at 72% in Alaska, but Salon found two people willing to dish out negative gossip for their latest hit piece: Sarah Palin, Wasilla, book banning.

In what may be the source of those “Palin the book-burner” rumors, retired American Baptist Rev. Howard Bess says Palin wanted to ban his book. The book apparently argues that gays are the new Jesus.

Inevitably, his work brought him into conflict with Palin and other highly politicized Christian fundamentalists in the valley. “Things got very intense around here in the ‘90s — the culture war was very hot here,” Bess said. “The evangelicals were trying to take over the valley. They took over the school board, the community hospital board, even the local electric utility. And Sarah Palin was in the direct center of all these culture battles, along with the churches she belonged to.”

Bess’ first run-in with Palin’s religious forces came when he decided to write his book, “Pastor, I Am Gay.” The book was the result of a theological journey that began in the 1970s when Bess was asked for guidance by a closeted homosexual in his Santa Barbara congregation. After deep reflection on the subject, Bess came to the conclusion that “gay people were not sick, nor they were special sinners.”

In his book, Bess suggests that gays have a divine mission. “Look back at the life of our Lord Jesus. He was misunderstood, deserted, unjustly accused, and cruelly killed. Yet we all confess that it was the will of God, for by his wounds we are healed … Could it be that the homosexual, obedient to the will of God, might be the church’s modern day healer-messiah?”

(If you really, really want to read the book, Amazon has it for $456.00.)

The other person willing to go on the record is a moonbat “progressive” musician known for a maudlin tribute to International Solidarity Movement heroine/terror supporter Rachel Corrie, that was canceled after a public outcry. Philip Munger is the first source I’ve seen who claims that Sarah Palin tried to get creationism into Alaskan schools. (The Associated Press said she had not.)

Another valley activist, Philip Munger, says that Palin also helped push the evangelical drive to take over the Mat-Su Borough school board. “She wanted to get people who believed in creationism on the board,” said Munger, a music composer and teacher. “I bumped into her once after my band played at a graduation ceremony at the Assembly of God. I said, ‘Sarah, how can you believe in creationism — your father’s a science teacher.’ And she said, ‘We don’t have to agree on everything.’

“I pushed her on the earth’s creation, whether it was really less than 7,000 years old and whether dinosaurs and humans walked the earth at the same time. And she said yes, she’d seen images somewhere of dinosaur fossils with human footprints in them.”

Munger also asked Palin if she truly believed in the End of Days, the doomsday scenario when the Messiah will return. “She looked in my eyes and said, ‘Yes, I think I will see Jesus come back to earth in my lifetime.’”
