Homophobia at the Library

When I was shelving books today, I noticed one that disturbed me. It was called something like Homosexuality: A Freedom Too Far, and was shelved next to books about masochism. I read the dust jacket flap, and it said something about how homosexuality being removed from the list of psychological disorders was a political move that hurt gay rights in the long run. There was also some garbage about how homosexuality could be treated, allowing gays to live normal lives with women and children who love them. I'm paraphrasing, but what it said was frighteningly close to that. The even scarier part is that the fact that I was shelving this book apparently means someone had checked it out. I'm just hoping that they were reading it in order to debunk it, or that they needed an alternate point of view for some paper they were writing.
