Proposed bans of lesbian or gay-themed books in the United States.
Contents |
[edit] 2005
[edit] Alabama
Republican lawmaker Gerald Allen proposed Alabama House Bill 30 (HB30), which would have banned public school libraries from purchasing books by gay authors or with gay characters.[1] The bill did not become law.
[edit] Arkansas
A proposed ban in Arkansas would have barred any representation of gay and lesbian people in schools, libraries, and state funded universities. It passed the state's lower house, but a tie vote in the state Senate's Education committee failed to bring it to the state senate floor.
