Oklahoma City Libraries To Move Books On Gay Families

Oh those Silly Nazi's, always fussing with books.....

Nine months after state lawmakers called on publicly funded libraries to remove books on gay families Oklahoma City's 's Metropolitan Library Commission has voted to move the books to a separate section available only to adults.

The LGBT-themed books are geared to children's reading levels - from just learning to read to about age 12.

The new section will be called the "parenting collection" and lumps books on gay families and growing up gay with books on child abuse, domestic violence and substance abuse.

Oklahoma state legislators last May passed a non-binding resolution telling libraries that books written for children about gay families should be placed in Adults Only sections.
