Debate over sexual material in Wyoming
libraries is heating upa and getting
awkward
Aug 16

Rev. Dan Odell wore his clerical collar
to address lawmakers on the Joint
Judiciary Committee on Tuesday evening
in Casper.

The Methodist pastor wanted the committee
to know that if a bill to ban books
containing sexually-explicit material
from the childrenAs sections of Wyoming
libraries passed as currently written,
it could block minors from one book many
lawmakers might say is their favorite:
the Bible.

To illustrate his point, Odell read
aloud some of the religious textAs
more graphic passages, like this one
from the Book of Ezekiel:

oShe lusted after her lovers, whose
genitals were like those of donkeys
and whose emission was like that of
horses,o Odell read.

That passage was one of five containing
what Odell called ofrank descriptions
of sexual acts,o that he read or cited
for the committee. The reverend had
more examples, he told lawmakers, than
his allotted time for public comment
on the bill would permit. https://wyofile.com/debate-over-sexual-material-in-wyoming-libraries-is- heating-up-and-getting-awkward/
