Local Gay Publication Returned to Lexington LibraryA local gay publication that was removed from the free-distribution area of Lexington (Ky.) Public Library’s central library will return to the facility’s front lobby with its next issue.GLSO News, the monthly newsletter of the city’s Gay and Lesbian Services Organization, was removed by mistake, said library Executive Director Kathleen Imhoff. She said she had decided The Letter, a Louisville-based gay-issues newspaper, didn’t belong on the free-distribution table because it wasn’t local, and that somehow GLSO News was also removed, the Lexington Herald-Leader reported November 15. Imhoff had stated earlier that library policy prohibited religious or political posters or free materials that advocate a single perspective. The Letter would now be available in the reference room rather than the lobby, the Herald-Leader added. GLSO News Editor Mary Crone praised the decision to reinstate the publication. “I’m very glad because there are a lot of people in the community who do not know where to turn that are questioning their sexual orientation or their gender identity, or they have a child that is questioning,” she told the Herald-Leader.
