Horrors! Gay Sex In the Library! Montana library votes to keep "Joy of Gay Sex"
Montana library votes to keep "Joy of Gay Sex"
The board of directors of the Lewis and Clark Library in Helena, Mont., voted down a proposal to remove "The Joy of Gay Sex" from the shelves. At a meeting on Tuesday, the board voted that the book should stay on the shelves with unrestricted access. The vote came after a resident complained that the book was "pornographic."

YAY!
good news - how cool that it went OUR way for a change! (Yet how frustrating that these censorship battles continue...)
thanks for sharing about it,

Great book with tons of valuable information but not sure that I would want to keep it on the public shelves for anyone to see.
