"President Bush wants 'pro-homosexual' drama banned."

What should we do with US classics like Cat on a Hot Tin Roof or The Color Purple? "Dig a hole," Gerald Allen recommends, "and dump them in it." Don't laugh. Gerald Allen's book-burying opinions are not a joke.

Earlier this week, Allen got a call from Washington. He will be meeting with President Bush on Monday. I asked him if this was his first invitation to the White House. "Oh no," he laughs. "It's my fifth meeting with Mr Bush."

Bush is interested in Allen's opinions because Allen is an elected Republican representative in the Alabama state legislature. He is Bush's base. Last week, Bush's base introduced a bill that would ban the use of state funds to purchase any books or other materials that "promote homosexuality". Allen does not want taxpayers' money to support "positive depictions of homosexuality as an alternative lifestyle". That's why Tennessee Williams and Alice Walker have got to go.

I am seriously very frightened about where this country is headed.

2. this is getting fucking ridiculous

I share you fear

4. I defy them to NAME a single book that promotes homosexuality

They are STILL of the erroneous opinion that homosexuality is a "lifestyle choice" and the gay person who "recruits" the most "converts" wins a new toaster oven.

What century are we IN?

5. Bush is gay.

How many straight men would tell another man he has a "pretty face"?

Bush Prefers Our Pretty Boy
To His Pretty Boy

OTTAWA -- This is the tale of the two Scotts -- one American, the other Canadian. One is dark-haired, the other blond. Both are 35 and both work for the most powerful men in their respective countries.

Mr. Bush wandered over during Mr. Reid's chat with the Prime Minister. Mr. Reid introduced himself and shook hands with Mr. Bush.
 
"Well, what do you do for this guy?" the President asked as he pointed to the Prime Minister.
 
"Well, you know, sir, I can't really say," Mr. Reid said. "It's not that I don't want to. It's just that, you know, I don't really know from day to day."
 
This is true. Mr. Reid handles a number of files and performs a number of different duties, depending on the issue and the day.
 
The President chuckled. "Well, you got a pretty face," he told the surprised Mr. Reid. He wasn't done. "You got a pretty face," he said again. "You're a good-looking guy. Better looking than my Scott anyway."

FTR: I don't care if Bush is gay or not. His hypocrisy is something else, considering how he treats people.

7. "Entartete Kunst "

is the term the Nazis used for art that did not express aryan ideals.

Just as the Nazis sought to purge "Jewish" art from their nation, Allen tries to banish "homosexual" art from ours.
