An Idaho man has
checked out the The Joy of Gay Sex from
his local library in protest of a recent library board
decision to keep the book on the shelf. The book has been at
the center of a controversy in Nampa, Idaho, that has
library officials pitted against parents who want
books dealing with sexual matters removed.
Earlier this month the library board voted
3–1 to keep the books in circulation but place
them on higher shelves and routinely sweep the library
to make sure they are not lying around. But Randy Jackson,
who led the parents' group trying to ban the books,
checked The Joy of Gay Sex out of the library and has
said that he has no intention of returning it any time soon.
There is no word yet on whether the library
plans to fine Jackson for the overdue book or whether
it will buy a replacement copy. (Sirius OutQ News)
