Gives me flashbacks of Footloose:

Chicago gay rights activists are concerned about what may have been a hate crime in the Lakeview neighborhood.

The Chicago Public Library says that about 100 books were destroyed after someone set a fire in the section for gay and lesbian literature.

It happened Tuesday about noon at the John Merlo branch of the public library in the 600 block of West Belmont.

Newsradio 780 is told that someone is believed to have set fire to books with a cigarette lighter and that about 90 gay and lesbian books were destroyed, and that about 10 books destroyed in the African American literature section.

Thanks Bill Frist. By your quick action last week to bring this very heated debate back to the floor of Senate so it could reach its certain doom, you have created more tensions in our nation. What a guy you are.
