QuoteChristian Group Trying To Have Gay Book Publically Burned
A Christian group called the Christian Civil Liberties Union is trying to have a gay book publicly burned and banned in the city of Milwaukee. The book is a young adult’s book called Baby Be-Bop, written by Francesca Lia Block. The book tells the story of a gay teen who is struggling with his sexuality and is attacked by a homophobic gang.

Yeah, nothing says "Civil Liberties" like a good old fashioned book burning.

In a related story, the Christian Equal Rights Under the Law Commission today announced that they don't think gay people should be able to vote. The Jesus Loves Everyone Regardless of Their Lifestyle Board has also called that homosexuals not be allowed to use public roads or police service.

Ya know, the violence in the bible has incited more violence than any gay-themed book. Perhaps we need to burn and ban that book as well, same reasons.
Shall we list the things in THAT book that are offensive? Violence to women, genocide, rape, slavery condoned...
