Objects to ‘Joy of Gay Sex’
By Paul Cohen, 413 1/2 N. Beattie St. – 08/17/08
When I saw The Joy of Gay Sex on the Helena Public Library’s “New” bookshelf, I wondered, “What are they presenting to the children of our community?” It was worse than I expected. This book is full of explicit drawings of male homosexual acts of every kind imaginable.
I submitted paperwork for removal. After review, four library professionals decided to keep this pornography on the shelves, approved by the library director. If I were to hand this same book to your child on the sidewalk outside the library, I would be arrested (as well I should be). These professionals, however, say: “It is our obligation to provide information to all segments of society. The library does not act in loco parentis and does not discriminate on the basis of age or sex.”
That makes it our responsibility to present sane reasoning for the removal of this book (or any other like it) on behalf of those unwilling or unable. With the library absconding, the public must play the part of discriminatory, responsible parents. I will present on this matter at the public board meeting on Monday, August 25th, at 5:00 PM at the Small Meeting Room at the library.

Wow! That is unbelievable to me. =( I am very disappointed that the library has chosen to supply a book like that.

I assume the library also has books on the Karma Sutra available as well and I doubt this book is any more graphic. I only ask that these books not be available to children. There are laws against pornagraphy being available to children and I know of no exception for Libraries.

So if the library is allowing the "Joy of Gay Sex", then I WANT the joy of heterosexual sex….like that would e ver happen. Isn’t is discrimination to all the heterosexuals if this book is not allowed for us to read.
I say take the DAM* book off the shelf. My kid sure as heck does NOT need to see this. If the library is going to allow this then why not have a "red light district" in the library.
This book should never have been bought and put in the library. It is meant to BUY at a bookstore…not READ in the vicinity of innocent children or to be taken out and the possiblity of a child even seeing it. It would be like me taking a vibrator and putting it on a shelf for "self-help" books with a "do-it yourself" video.

What Mr. Cohen doesn’t explain is how he’s had to go back, day after day, to check on the status of the book. Something about it that he just can’t seem to shake.

"Doesn’t explain"? First, I was not called on to explain, and second, Clearwater’s description of what I have been doing is grossly and maliciously misleading.
I first saw the book over six months ago on the "New" bookshelf and did not check its status until the library notified me of its upcoming board meeting about a month ago. Since then, I have checked the status of the book three times, thinking of possibly having it available at the board meeting if there are those who think I exaggerate its pornographic content.
My questions for Clearwater: What is your explanation for stalking my activities? Are you a library employee? If so, does your employer approve your reporting to the public what library clients are doing? How about identifying yourself, Gross Exaggerator, Anonymous Accuser, and Rumormonger?
It is good for everyone to be aware of the tactics of those who try to avoid the issue at hand by drawing attention to where there is no issue.
Come to the meeting on August 25th where you can hear the rest of my explanations.

許多認為自己不在黑暗中的人從未認識那真光，因此不知道其中的區別。作為教會成員身份，無論多麼虔誠或長期，對上帝都是沒有用的，祂是光。相信一些真正的教義也對上帝沒有什麼用的；法利賽人就是一個例子。現在聖經說，人若在黑暗中行走，就不知道往哪裡去 (約翰福音 12:35)。有多少人認為他們直立而堅定地行走，但實際上，他們身上滿是瘀傷，經常躺在地上？

Brothers, if you truly seek to steer these people away from false gospels, why do you call them things like "silly girl" which only detracts from the strong defense of the Gospel we are sworn to defend in "meanness and fear" (1 Peter 3:15)? At very the same time you declare, "answering you responsibly", then slander with "your shallow, unexamined, satanic defense of man and yourself rather than identification with the Lord Jesus Christ by His cross." And you claim, "Love has been speaking to you." Does love with the intent of saving sound like this?? Does the following text sound like it should be uttered from the mouth of a Christian? "One day, as you feed with the swine, it will dawn on you that what we say is true because we serve Him Who is True." Now, we are right to judge the brethren inside the body (1 Corinthians 5:12-13), but we are also to examine ourselves first, so that we do not show up as hypocrites. Matthew 7:2 says "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it w...
