Gay Novel & Shovel Sent To Book Banning Senator
http://www.365gay.com/newscon05/02/021005novel.htm

great idea--I know that I need to clear some space out on my bookshelves!

Gay novelist, Michael Holloway Perronne, shipped a copy of his novel, A Time Before Me, along with a miniature shovel, to controversial Alabama lawmaker Rep. Gerald Allen on Thursday.

Allen recently made headlines by proposing a state law that would ban gay books, plays, and films at public institutions. (story)

If his bill became law, public school textbooks could not present views on homosexuality, college theater groups would not be able to perform plays like the Tennessee Williams classic "Cat On A Hot Tin Roof" or The Laramie Project, and public school libraries could not display books that include lesbianism like Alice Walker's "The Color Purple."

1. I'd send him a soup spoon...
tell him to dig something 4x8x12, jump in afterwards, and instruct onlookers to backhoe over the hole. What an idiot.
Apparently, he doesn't read, go to the movies, theater, dress, get medical attention, or live in this world, for that matter.
