Oklahoma House Passes Gay Book Ban

The measure does not have the power of law but calls on Oklahoma libraries to "confine homosexually themed books and other age-inappropriate material to areas exclusively for adult access and distribution."
It passed, 81-3 and now will be distributed to library boards across the state.
The resolution's sponsor, Rep. Sally Kern (R-Oklahoma City) said that the vote shows public libraries that they must aware of the "values that our state upholds".
