It doesn't seem like they want to ban the book due to homosexuality. They want it gone because of the hate crime aspect. They're trying to prevent someone from getting hurt, which is a very Christian thing.

I would suspect that there was a concerted effort to find a book that would serve the purposes of a law suite..bringing money and public glory to someone who has had neither in their life.

It's OK to burn the flag, but not the Koran. It's OK to burn the Bible, but not a gay book. As some would say "it's just a book". Why do they have to get permission to burn it? That should be the question. How many times have we witnessed on TV or internet the burning of flags and effigies. All sorts of things. I say burn it. It's easier to apologize for something then to ask permission.
The City of West Bend is located in Washington County, the heart of the Kettle Moraine in Southeastern Wisconsin. West Bend is home to over 30,000 people, less than an hour’s drive north of Milwaukee. West Bend is close to numerous lakes and the area surrounding West Bend is a sportsperson’s paradise.
We offer residents and visitors small town living yet you can still enjoy the fast pace of the greater metropolitan area. Come see what is great in our community.
