An Alabama legislator is proposing legislation that would ban books with gay characters or themes from libraries in the state. “Our culture, how we know it today, is under attack from every angle,” Gerald Allen says. “Allen said that if his bill passes, novels with gay protagonists and college textbooks that suggest homosexuality is natural would have to be removed from library shelves and destroyed. ‘I guess we dig a big hole and dump them in and bury them’.”
