Lisa Marshall’s Letter to the Editor with All Comments


Libraries Aren’t for Agendas
By Lisa Marshall, 1555 Summit St. – 09/21/2008

Public libraries shouldn’t be used as political tools to advance liberal social agendas.

Public libraries don’t have to address, serve or embrace every twisted subculture searching for legitimization. Get rid of the book and the computer porn.

I plan on voting against any new funding proposals that support the library.

Lisa,

A letter responding to this issue with some reasoning. Librarians are there to help the public when in the library. There must be a way to serve all, even those who want to explore "The Joy of Gay Sex". Does your child need to view such books as they search for knowledge? What value does this book offer? Should we have to escort our children in the library? My ten year old beleives this book sounds "icky" and asks, "why do they have that book in the library anyway". It’s difficult enough to raise our children and provide them with tools to succees in life, I don’t see any literary value to this book.

Ms. Marshall, I am one of many who view self-appointed censors, to use your own words, as a "twisted subculture searching for legitimization". The staged outrage about the library’s "Joy of Gay Sex" book is beyond silly. Everybody knows what homosexual sex is, and knowing about it doesn’t make anybody gay. My advice to these self-righteous posers is this: police your own family, leave other people alone, and get professional help for the sexual obsession that seems to have taken over your life.

Agendas, my dear? Twisted subcultures? Oh, I think you’ve made a rather large mistake. Thats not what this is about at all. Try again, but remove the mote from thine eye, first.

Thats funny al….I agree….all this fuss about gay sex….very wierd. Mind your own darn business I say…..it is plain and simple….if you are not interested in gay sex than do not read it. I’ll tell you that I have small children and while I would not want them to read this book it is only because it is not age appropriate. If they want to read it when they turn 18, fine with me….I firmly believe that you are born gay and scientific evidence is becoming more and more supportive to that. I think it is is utterly ridiculous to believe that reading or seeing this book would influence anyone to "become" gay.

I think Ms. Marshall brings up a valid point-the advancing of the liberal social agenda. To be perfectly blunt, homosexuality is not something that needs to be promoted or explored. In fact, I don’t even think that "the Joy of Sex" should be in the public library. I think the library needs to maintain a level of decency and promote higher learning-not cater to every person that feels they have the right to information that is not intellectually useful. At what point do we say enough is enough, and keep the agenda of the library consistent with educating the mind, not with titillating the senses? Obviously people have a right to read what they want, but they don’t have the right to have a public library stocking any sort of low-brow crap any group of citizens wants. Buy the dang book if you want to read it-don’t insist on tax dollars providing you information about your alternative sexual lifestyle. If we’re going to fund this, at what point do we say "no"? Will there eventually be a "Joy of bestiality" or a "Joy of masturbation?" Get real, people. A note to al: you stepped over the line when you suggest people opposed to the gay life style have a "sexual obsession". In fact, I would say it’s the other way around-those who want those types of books in the library probably lean toward a "sexual obsession". This is a free country. You have the right to be gay, we have the right not to approve of the gay lifestyle. This is America.

From: Bryan To: The Path of Truth Sent: Friday, April 29, 2016 9:41 PM hey i read your script on todd white.  i dont glorify man or worship man, but i have heard his witnessing to people on the streets.   i think you dont endorse him not because of what he says but what he looks like.  putting this aside, he does talk about repentance, but Jesus did not talk about repentance or the cross he came across. i think what is fueling your passion to label this guy is your jealous because you are not out sharing your faith and doing what he is doing.  and maybe like me, you probably studied theology, think you know something, but somehow it does not translate to going beyond the church walls and reaching people on the streets- like Jesus.  i have my excuses, and i have been praying for a while for God to open me up somehow to do what i know we are suppossed to do, what i once have done so many times in my life- share Jesus with the world.  but here is a guy doing just that and you blog about him, i wonder what that says about you.   be part of the solution and not part of the problem.

The Path of Truth Notice Board - The Joy of Gay Sex?: Our Correspondence with Felice Picano

基督徒,你的信仰表白是徒然嗎?

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?
