There was a lengthy thread about this bill a while back. Completely misguided.

Melhuse said the bill's broad ban would severely limit theater department productions, and not just plays with overtly gay themes, characters or authors, he said, but those that deal with topics like AIDS as well. In other words, they just can't find a play without faggotry that's good enough to produce.
Yeah, I believe it, sure.

"We would be down to repeating the same family-oriented play each year," Melhuse said. "We would probably have to repeat [a play] at least once or twice each year."Who does this twinkie think he's kidding?!? Talk about an arrogant little panty stain, thinking that the only plays worth producing must have some sort of either overt or subliminal thread of faggotry running through it. Half these animals would much rather hop into a big pile and bugger each other in front of the audience than actually worry about 'art', IMO.

Homosexual Agenda Ping.
I think this is taking place in Alabama.
Excerpt:
The bill asserts that the ban is not a prior restraint on speech prohibited under the First Amendment. According to HB30, the bill "shall apply only to state agencies, public schools, public libraries and public colleges and universities in the use of public funds and public facilities."
If you want on/off the list let me know.

Excellent. Allen has guts. Good for him and Alabama and if the "gay" theater students and teachers don't like it, and want to leave the state I doubt they'll be missed.
And that spew about having to repeat "family" plays as though such a thought is sickening and as though all plays are centered on sodomy - have they ever heard the name "Shakespeare"?

that would prohibit the use of public funds for activities that "sanction, recognize, foster or promote a lifestyle or actions prohibited by the sodomy and sexual misconduct laws of the state." As a taxpayer, I'm thrilled my money will no longer go to promote perversion.
The 'ar-teests' are just squealing because someone's trying to pull them away from the public trough!

To much faggotry in the world. They are a minority and we the MAJORITY have TOLERATED Their rantings and ravings long enough.
The barring of the homosexual lifestyle, which is a Deviant behavior, from public area must be persued. Thr Christian Crucifix is being removed and replaced with this Trash!!

My mom shot a copperhead snake in the cellar once; my dad hung it up on the side wall so my sister and I could get a long hard look at it rather than burying it.

The thing is if they include cross-dressing among the list of perversions then it would include Shakespeare. It certainly includes Tennesee Williams. And if it extends to books in public libraries it also includes Melville (Moby Dick off the bat) not to mention Plato's Symposium. This bill would put state legislators in the position of being literary critics. A bad idea.

I think that in the near future, the state Massachusetts will reap the rotten fruit of the homosexual deathstyle and serve as an excellent example of what happens when moral standards are declared verbotten by the govt. I just grieve for the children involved.

I hear you, but the copperheads are all coming out of the cellar now, so all can get a good look at them.

-erring in opposition to the homosexual agenda is better than erring in support of the homosexual agenda...

It's not just a matter of an agenda. Do you realize how many classic works of literature there are with homosexual undertones? This law is borderline unenforcable. The end result will be the end of public lirbaries. I prefer to err on the side of letting indivduals choose what they want to see or read.
