More pr0n discovered in West Bend

CNN is reporting on the ongoing kerfuffle in the sleepy hamlet of West Bend, WI, where some offended citizens wish to erect a pyre:
The Maziarkas were still fighting to have books moved, having identified 82 questionable titles — more than double their original list.
Sounds like they've got a real nose for it.
Ginny Maziarka and her husband also asked the West Bend Community Memorial Library to obtain books about homosexuality that affirmed heterosexuality, such as titles written by "ex-gays," Maziarka said.
Forgive me, but it stretches credulity that there is any such thing. I also heard they tried to turn Wilt Chamberlain gay, but it didn't take.
"All the books in the young-adult zone that deal with homosexuality are gay-affirming," she said.
What, no Bibles?

Show me 82 "gay-affirming" books and I'll show you one "gay-stoning-to-death" book. How's that for balance.

But I would hope that the adolescents of West Bend might find some gay-affirming respite in the library, at least, because they're certainly not going to find it among the community's Maziarkas.

A lot of people who call themselves Christians like to tell us that being gay is "unnatural." Is that the message we want to send to these kids, that what they're in the process of coming to realize about their own selves is "unnatural"? One might beg to differ.

That's a case of the remedy being worse than the diagnosis.

First they take care of the libraries, then they will take care of the zoos.

Didn't the gay penguins in the Central Park zoo split up? Just goes to show you: no respect for the sanctity of marriage.

Well, that's because the people passed an unconstitutional constitutional amendment to keep them from being together.

Esenberg, I'm sure, will explain it all to us.

It turns out that one of the gay penguins was actually bi; he left his long-time partner for a younger female. Personally, I think he's just going through a mid-life crisis.

Please, share this video with one and all ... I think it speaks for itself.

He even looks like God (in a mesh ball hat).

The Santa/God fellow mentioned how adultery is against God's law. Will they advocate tearing Sykes up right in the studio?
