Gay Sex! What Does It Mean?!
Nov 4th, 2006 by Madeline Glass
A committee in Springfield, Missouri voted on Friday to remove a book on homosexuality from several of its public school libraries.
The controversy over the book all started with a little library bet.“My son said, ‘Hey Mom, I got dared to check out this book,’” said a Carver Middle School mom who doesn’t want to be identified to protect her son at school.
But her son got much more than two dollars for taking the book “Homosexuality: What Does It Mean?” home as a part of the bet.
“I was livid, fire livid, steam out of my ears, livid when I read it,” explained the student’s mom. (more)
Apparently the book contains gay sex terminology, including some acts that the mother had never heard of. While that’s not terribly surprising, and bearing in mind that library acquisitions are sometimes a tough call in public schools where they can be the root of incendiary ruckuses (ruckii?), get over that hump and you’re left with the quote of the mother, which can only make you think of one thing (say it with me, Meg):
Mrs. White:Yes, I did it. I killed Yvette. I hated her so… much… it… it… the… it… the… fee… flames… flames… on the side of my face… heaving… breathless… heaving breaths…
Mrs. White: Are you a cop?
Mr. Green: No, I’m a plant.
Miss Scarlet: A plant? I thought men like you were usually called a fruit.
Mr. Green: Very funny.
Mr. Green: Now I’m going to go home and sleep with my wife.
Wadsworth: Nyeoh!
All: No?
Wadsworth: NYEOH!!
