Teens see Lesbian book, Father sues Library, Wank Follows (bad pun intended)
The Morning News posts this story about a Man who is suing a library $20,000 and demanding that the hiring of the library director over The Whole Lesbian Sex Book claiming: "My sons were greatly disturbed by viewing this material and this matter has caused many sleepless nights in our house."

*pauses for obvious jokes*

Readers of the article can post in response and of course some wank follows.

ETA: Washington Post has an article with a small but wanking comment section.

	Because obviously if the boys bought it on amazon.com or some bookstore, he has full right to sue amazon or the bookstore. It doesn't matter how his children got the book ~~when he should have been watching his own kids but wasn't~~ someone must pay! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Well, y'know. They're 14 and 16, so presumably they're old enough to go to the library by themselves.

It reminds me a lot of the recent Mike Daisey incident (if you're not familiar with what happened, scroll to the bottom of his post for a link to the original account). Very similar worldview, it seems to me. Or someone trying to ban Alison Bechdel's Fun Home from the library because it's a comic book so it must be for kids but it has OMGTEHGAYSEX in it WTFBBQ!!!!
