Two bills that would require any public library that receives state funds to install filtering software on its computers could result in a ban on sites providing gay community news and information.

The lawmakers who have proposed the legislation say it is necessary to protect children from unwittingly stumbling across pornography while using the Internet at their local libraries.

The House bill's sponsor, Del. Samuel Nixon, Jr. (R-Chesterfield) unveiled his bill at a press conference for the conservative Family Foundation. Nixon is also a backer of a state constitutional ban on same-sex civil unions. The Senate bill was filed by Sen. Mark Obenshain (R-Harrisonburg).



so they're comparing gay news to porn? I'm at a loss for words--I didn't think these people could be any stupider but everyday I'm proven wrong

1. hell, even using the word gay in a sentence is pornographic

they REALLY want to put us in the closet, completely. As if that would make my green eyes blue.

2. Why can't people mind their own bee's wax?

A lot of our problems would be solved if folks would just stop butting into everyone's business, and focus on their own affairs.
