The decision is part of a larger trend of libraries’ being caught in the middle of a national debate over children’s access to information.

    Dana Gonzalez, who spoke in favor of withdrawing from the ALA, said the commission “ought not promote, celebrate or support what scripture condemns” and then quoted Bible scriptures that she said condemned what Drabinski wrote in her tweet, according to the Daily Montanan.

    Ah, there it is. You have it served up to you on a silver platter - a literal self proclaimed Marxist - you know, the thing they claim that everyone to the left of Mussolini is, and they skip that and go straight for the gay angle.

    The ALA is not a Marxist organization. It doesn’t have a “gay agenda.” Therefore a gay Marxist running it has no bearing on what the organization is about. It’s like saying (and I wouldn’t put it past them sadly) that they were withdrawing from all federal housing assistance programs because the head of the FHA is, for example, a Satanist into leather bondage. What the fuck does one have to do with the other?
