Christians on the Attack with Ex-Gay Literature

According to a post on metroweekly.com:

”Donations should not be at the expense of minority populations or make the reader feel inferior…. These books were not research based. There were not facts to back it up.”

A group of Christian student protesters are claiming censorship and a violation of personal beliefs because, they claim, that they submitted ”reviews” of several ”pray away the gay” books to Fairfax County public school systems but were rejected by librarians.

And she added that there were already book on the libraries shelves that presented a variety of views on homosexulaity.
