This is a subject that I feel strongly about, yet I hesitate to state my opinions on this forum. I do not see homosexual lifestyles in a society as valuable when you consider the long term effects. (this is NOT to say that I dislike people who choose this lifestyle-I would never presume to dictate the choices people make) However I do feel as a member of society and a parent that offering information about homo sexuality as a viable choice to children (especially those at the young end of the span for YA readers) is like presenting calculus to a child in preschool and expecting them to understand it. I think we often overwhelm children with choices they are not mature enough to make. So yes, I would like to know my library does not offer GLBT book, but I try to pick my battles wisely and am content to voice my opinion and leave it at that.
