Children’s picture book flagged at Alabama library because author’s last name is ‘Gay’ - eviltoast

Madison County Public Library administrators were asked to go over a list of potentially “sexually explicit” books to be moved from the children’s and young adult section to the adult section. The majority of these books were about the LGBTQ community. At least one was added to the list because the author’s last name is Gay.

      It’s mostly a family Christmas newsletter-type deal with updates on what all the Gays are up to. Mary Gay tends to get a lot of coverage.

      Today : Gay

      Tomorrow : Also Gay

      Oh wow, looks like I’ve got “be Gay” down every day for the whole year!

      You know what isn’t here? Forcing other people at the point of a sword to follow my religious beliefs about sexuality, gender, and expression. Not a single minute of that in the whole schedule.
