The link didn't work for me so I couldn't read the article.
ETA: Found it and read it.
Alabama State Representative Gerald Allen wants to pass a law that to ban books with gay characters in public and school libraries.
I agree with this quote from a librarian:
"We aren't in the business, and I don't think the legislature should be in the business, of telling people--especially adults--what they can and can't read," says Donna Schremser.
I hope it doesn't pass. There are so many great works of literature containing gay characters and written by gay authors. The article didn't mention gay authors, but I imagine that would be next.
