at least, that’s the basis (in simplest terms) of a bill that alabama lawmakers are trying to pass. now, not to get all bleeding-heart-liberal (as the midget would say) but what the bloody fuck? how do people like this get placed in positions of power? seriously…i mean, all shit like this does is breed hate and ignorance. what exactly gives some crazy ol’ politician the right to decree “homosexuality is an unacceptable lifestyle”, anyway?
shit like this infuriates me, but then i realize that this is an elected official. i mean, he’s there because the people put him there. dear god, what the fuck were they thinking?
however, the alabama residents can’t quite take credit for just how unbelievably stupid and delusional rep. allen is:
“I don’t look at it as censorship,” says State Representative Gerald Allen. “I look at it as protecting the hearts and souls and minds of our children.”
well…i guess nobody ever mentioned to him that:
cen·sor·ship n.
1. The act, process, or practice of censoring.
(source: dictionary.com)
i mean…banning books because the authors were allegedly gay? and like, how the fuck are they going to be certain exactly which author is homosexual or not? are they going to have a gay litmus test?
and you know what i think, this rep. allen finding a “homosexual agenda” in book after book, is probably just him projecting. his own unspoken wants and desires coming out and wreaking havoc on his decidely tiny little christian fundamentalist brain. homosexuals, oh noes!!! “homosexual agenda” indeed…
i mean, who gives a fuck just who or what exactly an author is fucking? seriously, it usually has no bearing on their literary contribution. this is just plain ignorance at its worst.
alabama, you ought to be ashamed of yourself.
