The Merriam Webster Dictionary was banned in a California elementary school in January 2010 for its definition of oral sex. It has also been banned in several schools in the US along with the American Heritage Dictionary.
The Diary of Anne Frank has also been banned several times, most recently in Virginia because it is considered "sexually explicit" and has homosexual themes.

Funny how google checkout will not let me use their services to sell videos and photos of gay men kissing because they are considered adult goods and services, which are defined as pornography and other sexually suggestive materials. Funny how the minimum attire is swimsuit or underwear. I wonder be if it's because they are afraid of watching gay men kiss.
Are we going backwards in time to the middle age, perhaps. Are people becoming extremists. It may soon be illegal for me to play a tritone on my guitar. Thankfully, I live in Europe. Things are still somewhat normal here.
