Wal-Mart has stopped selling a sex-education book after protests from activists that the book promotes lesbianism.
“The Little Black Book for Girlz: A Book on Healthy Sexuality” sparked criticism after it was published in September, according to LifeSiteNews.com, a Toronto-based Internet site.
The book was produced by St. Stephen’s Community House in Toronto. St. Stephen’s receives $7.8 million a year in funding from government agencies in Canada, said Joseph Ben-Ami, executive director of the Institute for Canadian Values, who called the book “irresponsible and obscene.”
The book includes statements such as, “A lot of parents are homophobic, and so are their children until they get minds of their own.”
Wal-Mart’s Web site had advertised the book as “not just a book about sex, but a look at girl culture by teenagers,” describing it as “an important, take-anywhere empowerment guide.”
Last week, the Web site removed its listing for the book, although LifeSiteNews.com said a Wal-Mart spokesman did not respond to requests for comment.
