Aaaargh.
Oh, lord. Remember this story about the egregious book-banning bill? It’s back (link via LISNews). Is anyone else thinking that homophobia makes people certifably insane? I mean, this is nuts. It’s loony. The fact that this bill is still around suggests to me that someone has been putting hallucinogens into Alabama state legislature’s drinking water.
Oh, and Microsoft? You just gave me a really good reason to switch to Apple when I buy my next laptop. If you’re going to cave in to the pressure of homophobic nutjobs, you’ve lost my patronage, and I hope a lot of other people follow suit.
And while we’re on the subject of horrific things: this story that Rana comments on and this from Echidne of the Snakes are both pretty horrific.
Where can I sign up to join the liberal feminist conspiracy? I want to live in a world where the lunatics haven’t taken over.
[Updated to add: Emily Lloyd at Poesy Galore has the best response I’ve seen to the Alabama book-banning story, and she’s totally right about what it’s like to be young and not yet aware of who you’ll be attracted to, but nonetheless picking up on intriguing subtext even in the most ostensibly heterosexual literary classics.]
