Oklahomophobic? Sorting Out the Gay Books Controversy
-- Library Journal, 04/01/2006
After debating plans to segregate “gay-themed” books in state public libraries, the Oklahoma legislature has announced that it has commissioned a report on “gay books” in the state. Among the report’s aims: to ascertain if “books become gay on the shelf, or whether they are printed that way.” Also, the report will examine the phenomenon known now as “Brokeback” books, books that may not know they are gay, or are gay only on certain shelves. LJ asks several librarians for their take.
