Wal-Mart Selling Anti-Gay Kids' Book

Q Salt Lake reports that over 100 Wal-Mart stores are carrying the anti-gay children's book written by the wife of the president the Mormon anti-gay group Standard Of Liberty.

Chased by an Elephant, the Gospel Truth about Today’s Stampeding Sexuality by Janice Barrett Graham was written to “help shed the clear light of truth on today’s dark and tangled ideas about male and female, proper gender roles, the law of chastity, and the God-given sexual appetite,” according to Janice Graham in the book’s introduction. The Grahams claim that their son, Andrew, successfully changed his sexual orientation and is now a happily married man.

Andrew Graham has published his own book about being "lured" into homosexuality while a student at Brigham Young.

[ET Awful]

1. Am I the only one that thinks it's hilarious that they chose the symbol of the Republican party

as the "chased by" element?

[blondeatlast]

6. I sincerely doubt it; it was my first thought. nt

[WillParkinson]

22. Mine as well...

It's the reason I posted it in GD instead of the GLBT board.

[frogmarch]

15. Well, it's said that

elephants give great trunk, so I'm not surprised.

But it is hilarious. :-)

[Pithlet]

2. Makes me feel even better about my decision to never shop there. n/t

[muffin1]

3. The dark and tangled ideas

are coming from the religious in this country (especially the Mormons) - not GLBTQ persons. Fuck this b**ch and her family for causing even more children to hate themselves.

[sinkingfeeling]

4. Wonder how she feels about polygamy?

[BurtWorm]

5. It's fine as long as the wives don't make out when the husband's away.

[RaleighNCDUer]

8. No, I think they'd be cool with it - their bible only prohibits men lying with men.

Says nothing about women, other than they shouldn't cut their hair short.

[DefenseLawyer]

7. I always like to get my ideas about healthy relationships from the Mormons

They have all that figured out.

[joeybee12]

9. And being in SLC, I bet it's a best-seller there...

what an asshole...excuse, me, assholeS.

[Touchdown]

10. Most gay kids have enough class to never step foot in that dump.

So the effort is for naught.

[bobbolink]

17. .

:wtf:

[Warren DeMontague]

11. "really makes Des Moines look second rate"

12. Sell away....

I don't want to 'ban' your book.
Can't say I'll be stopping in any Wal-Mart anytime soon (ever) though.
That's my free speech.

[jmbo2890]

13. Imminent violence

Am I the only one that has noticed if you look back through the years at all civil rights movements (e.g. the African American rights movement) that the stances become increasingly and alarmingly polarized and violent?

[XemaSab]

14. Who is the target audience for this book?

Whether you're pure and innocent or a dirty little kid, the book is going to give you ideas. :P

[valerief]

16. Wal-mart sucks. nt

[Sabriel]

18. It's a hot elephant-on-elephant story

"Lured" into homosexuality? Please....

[logosoco]

19. So now I am picturing a scene

with some of those "people of walmart" people. I see the dad throwing this in the cart saying "We better get this for junior so he doesn't get any of that gay stuff!"

[slackmaster]

20. It's available on amazon.com too

It's not clear to me that the book was intended to be read by children.

[jmowreader]

21. This is a CHILDREN'S book?

God help us.

[REP]

23. I usually stay out of Walmart threads (and always out of Walmart) but FUCK WALMART

I know some people can't afford to go elsewhere. I can and do. If they were giving away something I wanted (I can't imagine them having anything I'd want) I'd still pay more to shop anywhere else.

[TexasObserver]

24. It's hate speech disguised as religious dogma.

I hope I live to see the day a church cannot discriminate against gays and have tax exempt status.

[mitchum]

25. "I don't know why I became so aroused while sucking cock... I musta been lured!"

"Yeah, that's it!"

[LAGC]

26. I love these bisexuals who suddenly become "cured" of their homosexual side.

Must be so easy, it being a simple choice and all.
