For the most part, I agree with all that. My point is not whether it is good or bad but how the situation is framed. Your headline implies that what people are fighting against is the "attempt to censor books." But it's not that books are being censored that is the problem, it's that books of a specific nature are being censored. The real issue is a concern over "homosexual materials" (Which is a really absurd term). If someone is against censoring books then they would be equally against (though not necessarily equally as vocal) the library removing books that are pro homosexuality as they are about removing books that are anti homosexuality. I think it's unlikely that that is the case.
"If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind."
