I saw this story at my NBC affiliate’s website and I just wanted to share my favorite bits:
Dad Wants $20K, Says Lesbian Book Disturbed Teens
A Bentonville, Ark., man is seeking $20,000 from the city after his two teenage sons found a book on lesbian sex on a public library bookshelf. He also wants the library director fired.
Earl Adams said his 14- and 16-year-old sons were “greatly disturbed” after finding the book, titled “The Whole Lesbian Sex Book.” Adams said the book caused “many sleepless nights in our house.”
Adams said the book is “patently offensive and lacks any artistic, literary or scientific value,” according to a letter he faxed to Mayor Bob McCaslin. He said the teenagers found it while browsing for material on military academies.

LOL! I’m sure the poor boys were so disturbed by this they spent the rest of the night tossing and turning in their beds.

Yes I’m sure the sleepless nights were because they were disturbed *eyeroll*

What a drama queen. Yes, I know how much straight boys are traumatized by women getting it on. Sigh.
Years ago (during what I refer to as my very Jerry Springer summer), I spent a slightly sleepless night because of 2 women who were visiting. We were initially all in my bed, and they started, um, interacting. One of them asked me to leave. Apparently, I was giggling.
She and I are still good friends to this day.
Sorry for oversharing.

Yes, public libraries should only contain books with “artistic, literary or scientific value” and the definition of value should be decided by… um.. somebody?
And I suppose the boys were forced into the library & strapped to a chair while the sexy/nerdy librarian read them the lesbian sex tutorial.
