"We have to protect people'

President Bush wants 'pro-homosexual' drama banned. Gary Taylor meets the politician in charge of making it happen

Thursday December 9, 2004
The Guardian



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."



I'm so glad that Bush the Lesser's time is taken up with such important things as endorsing censorship and moral weeniehood. *spitrs to get rid of foul taste in mouth*

Your right to determine what YOU think is acceptable for YOU is under attack, people. Books, music, religion, morality... they want to take away your choices and replace them with theirs. Pre fixe menus are great for lunch, but I prefer to live a little more a la carte, thanks. How about you?

I love that article from the Guardian - the right amount of snark and disbelief, making it plain how pointless and insane this anti-gay crusade is. Love how Taylor isn't actually sure if Shakespeare is going to be okay or not. Shakespeare!

Time to talk to the congress critters - and by the way, note that the very first thing that Bush wanted passed after his whopping 3% mandate got stopped in its tracks by an intransigent Congress. What Bush wants and what he gets, even out of a gov't run by his party, may not be the same thing.

And in the meantime, I'm still waiting for the ACLU to send me my card so I can be officially card-carrying...
