Hi,

I've been following the "please vote" discussion with
interest, especially the posts about serving the
community and how "my parents wouldn't stand for it."
I apologize for this late post.  It seems to me that
in these communities in particular, gay and lesbian
students, or children with gay and lesbian parents or
brothers and sisters, would need some sort of
acknowledgement in THEIR library that children with
these personal and home situations are deserving of
the same love and support we offer all children.  Are
we saying that gays and lesbians and nontraditional
families only exist in accepting communities?
Apologies for the sterotypes: it would be easy to have
these books in San Francisco and harder in Charleston,
but probably more important.

I guess it is a question of serving the conservative
majority of your community (and lots of assumptions
there), or those with nontraditional needs, and how to
balance the two.
