help, please
Jun. 17th, 2009 12:30 pmFor a planned new nonfiction book I'm currently researching (more about it later) I'm trying to find out about the Christian Civil Liberties Union, which may more properly be called the American Christian Civil Liberties Union (although the approved acronym seems to be just CCLU).
They're the mob who're seeking the legal right to burn copies of Francesca Lia Block's YA novel Baby Be-Bop on the grounds that it disgustingly doesn't recommend tarring and feathering gays -- why, if you could bear to read the book you might be led to think that teenagers have confusions about their burgeoning sexuality, or something, pshaw!
They're also seeking massive damages from some unfortunate Wisconsin library because members of the public apparently came over all queasy just through seeing the book on the shelves. (I kid you not. This is a genuine summary of their claim.)
I've done a fair amount amount of googling, but all I'm really coming up with are articles about this particular farrago. Oh, and that its HQ appears to be in Olathe, KS. Ideally I'd like to be pointed at a CCLU website/newsletter/similar.
If anyone has tripped over -- or, perhaps more accurately, trodden in -- this organization during their travels and could help out, I'd be ever so grateful.
(Hm. "CCLU": oddly close to "Cthulhu", isn't it?)
