Man has a hissy over lesbian sex book

Arkansas Man Seeks Damages Over Lesbian Book

A Bentonville, Ark., man is seeking $20,000 in damages from the city because his sons found The Whole Lesbian Sex Book in the local library. He also wants the library director fired for allowing “pornography” in the town’s collection.

In a letter to the Bentonville Mayor, Earl Adams wrote that the book was “patently offensive and lacks any artistic, literary or scientific value.” He claims his sons, ages 14 and 16, came across the book while looking for material on military academies. In his letter, Adams states “my sons were greatly disturbed by viewing this material and this matter has caused many sleepless nights in our house.”

Okay first off, WTF is wrong with people?!?!?! Who gives a sugar frosted fuck if the library has sex books? It's not like they're right next to the kiddy books! I can say that in my local library that yes, there are books on sex, but they're separate from other books (certainly military ones -.-). And what's this crap about the kids being traumatized and having "many sleepless nights"? What a load of absolute bull shit! I'd also like to point out that these kids are either EXTREMELY sheltered, or they're lying their asses off. Firstly, generally books on the subject of lesbian sex are not mixed in with books about the military. I'm guessing the kids were looking at books on the subject of sex and are LYING. Even on the off chance that The Whole Lesbian Sex Book was left in the military section (for what reason, god knows) they're still the ones who picked it up to look at it! Can't say they didn't know what they were in for! Secondly I could understand the father's hissy fit a little bit better if it weren't for the kids' ages. They're 14 and 16! What the hell? So the kids saw some sex, so what? They're at the age where they're probably looking at porn ANYWAY. If the reason is because they REALLY are that sheltered then daddy should have been there with his babies holding their hands so they wouldn't see any wicked books. This shit wouldn't happen if everyone wasn't so uptight about sex. What's the big deal anyway? Most everyone does it and it's a beautiful thing so who gives? *sigh*, but that's a pondering for another time. Anyway, my point is that the book shouldn't be removed and the library shouldn't have to pay a dime. This is because a library should have books on all subjects even if some people don't like it. If you don't, figure out the dewy decimal system, find out where the sex books are, and STAY AWAY! DON'T RUIN IT FOR THE REST OF US!!!! I personally don't think the library will have to pay because any judge who honestly believes that the kids were really that disturbed is a bloody idiot. Also, hopefully, the library director won't lose his job because of this . However you KNOW they're going to have to remove the book...all because some asshole and his overly fragile children had to go and hyperventilate about it.

This really bothers me because if people complain about books, and then they're removed, soon there will be no books left. Some jackass says that books about Wicca are wrong and *poof* bye bye. Someone finds books about serial killers traumatizing, *poof* gone. Some bigoted sonuvabitch says LGBT books are wrong *poof* no more. If the library has to get rid of this book what's next? And I know some of you are saying "but Ms. Motley, this is different, this is sex". So? This is still literature ( not porn!) and it should be left alone!

Well there's my rant for tonight. Have a lovely day <3
