The End of David Sedaris in Alabama?
Oh dear. Is this for real?
Apparently, an Alabama state lawmaker named Gerald Allen is introducting a bill to ban all books that "sanction, recognize, foster, or promote a lifestyle or actions prohibited by the sodomy and sexual misconduct laws of the state."
My favorite part of the story -
"Allen hasn't concluded who would compile an ongoing list of banned books, nor has he determined whether exceptions should be made for some writers over others. However, Allen does feel supporters of the Marriage Protection Act will agree with him."
Sigh.
