Don’t Say Gay-style language forces Oklahoma library to cancel sexual assault awareness program
Republican censorship at school libraries is making its way to censorship at public libraries—as predicted—with “don’t say gay” language forcing the cancellation of a romance book club and a sexual assault awareness display at a library in Enid, Oklahoma.
The recent policy from the city’s library board says that library programs and exhibits “will not make as their object the study of sex, sexual activity, sexual perversion, sex-based classifications, sexual preferences, sexual identity, gender identity, or subjects that are of a sexual nature.” Books can stay on the shelves (so far), they just can’t be highlighted by the library for things like, say, sexual assault awareness or reading the most popular genre of fiction in the country.
