Oklahoma City, OK, May. 10 (UPI) -- The Oklahoma House voted overwhelmingly to recommend creating adult-only sections in all public libraries to shield children from gay-themed books.
House Resolution 1039, by state Rep. Sally Kern, R-Oklahoma City, passed Monday by a vote of 81-3, calling on all public libraries in the state to "confine homosexually themed books and other age-inappropriate material to areas exclusively for adult access and distribution," the Oklahoman reported.
"This isn't censorship, because I'm not asking that they be thrown away, be burned. I'm asking that they just be put in with adult collections and then if a parent wants their child to see a book like that they can check it out," Kern said.
The three Democratic lawmakers who voted against the measure said it would strip power from local library boards and would strain their already stretched resources.

One of Heather's mommies will have to approve, first.
Yee Haw (bravo)
Those three Democrats should be overjoyed that their favorite reading material will be located where they can more readily discover it ~ unless, of course, they want it scattered hither and yon for purposes of "cruising" for fresh meat.
Homosexual Agenda Ping.
I really like good news, and I'm sure you all do too.
Power to the people - and most people do NOT want pro-"gay" propaganda shoved down their childrens' throats. The numbers of Americans who do not want, for instance, "gay" marriage are going UP. This is what happens when people themsevles or (most of the time) their duly elected representatives vote about all things "gay", rather than a judge or two or three making decisions "for us".
Let me know if you want on/off this pinglist.
We all know how moving books around a library can strain resources. I'm so sock of this whining crap. Kids should NOT be exposed to this trash.
I guess all the textbooks the state teaches from will have to be put in that section as well, because the radical gay movement has managed to slip their agenda into just about everything, especially text books.
Here's an example... I LOVE HGTV... but WTH is with 90% of all the homes they show on half the shows being owned by gay men !! Good grief, it's getting ridiculous.
O-o-o-o-kla-ho-o-o-MA where the wind can still come sweeping down the plain! Way to go legislators! Now, about those two Dems who took a wrong turn at an intersection outside Berkeley and ended up by mistake in Oklahoma....
Come on, we know why there would be opposition to this simple plan. As long as these titles are shelved among the rest of the items, the pervs can browse through them with other people being unaware of it. But if they have to walk into a separate section of the library, you might as well paint a sign on their foreheads.
No kidding! We gave up trying to watch "Homes Across America"--it's just a gay home tour most of the time!
NOOOO this can't happen. How will the gays recruit new young members if they can't promote using visual aides.
Common sense and decency prevail over stupidity and licentiousness.
And that's how it should be!
Now if they ban it from schools, OK will be children, at least, will be safe for a while!
I know where I may be moving..
I like it here, and it's getting better all the time. ;^)
Yes. Also, Boy Scouts and Brownies are still considered good things in Oklahoma as well. They even condone spanking.
Boy, if this happened in Albany, NY, Scott Ritter would be really angry!!!
