“Read Me a Story, Stella” is a children’s picture book about a pair of siblings reading books together and building a doghouse. However, because the author’s name is Marie-Louise Gay, the book was added to a list of potentially “sexually explicit” books to be moved from the children’s section of the Huntsville-Madison County Public Library (HCPL) system.

They really would like it if gay people didn't exist...

Nah, if gay people didn't exist they'd have to find another group to persecute. Aside from black people, hispanic people, college educated people, women, gingers, vegans, people who once owned a Prius, that guy who rides a bike to work twice a month...
