LONDON, Ontario, January 6, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The London Public Library responded to drug use in its Central branch by installing needle disposal units in convenient locations.
The library also offers information promoting homosexuality, both in literature and on their website.
Disposal units were installed at the library, in the men’s public washrooms, during December 2005. Library staff were finding used needles plugging the drains, on the floor and in the sanitary napkin disposal units.
Louis Dillon, who uses the library regularly, told the London Free Press he’s afraid the disposal units could act as a magnet for drug addicts.
“I know there is a public health issue, but I don’t think the public library is the place for this. There are too many children,” Dillon said.
The library offers numerous programs for children six years and older that do not require the presence of a parent or caregiver. Library staff offer supervision.
The taxpayer funded facility has recently been criticized for advocating the homosexual lifestyle with publications and displayed material. Vito Norejko, a library patron, wrote a letter to chief executive officer Anne Baker yesterday, objecting to the use of promotional material on gay, lesbian and bisexual literature and asking that it be categorized as “for adults only” to ensure children and youth do not have access to it.
In fact, the library’s website promotes and encourages homosexuality among teenagers.
The “teen zone” section of the library’s website offers teenagers resources on sexuality. Of the eight sites listed, four actively encourage the homosexual lifestyle.
One suggested resource is SpiderBytes, a teen sex education site. The site contains extensive information on homosexuality and encourages same-sex experimentation, telling teens to “remind yourself that same-sex experiences are normal for everyone.”
The site also offers detailed information on dealing with teen pregnancy through abortion and contains incorrect and misleading information on abortion procedures. It states that surgical procedures take 10 to 15 minutes, and involve the use of “gentle suction.”
In fact, such procedures involve the use of suction force 29 times stronger than that of a vacuum cleaner.

Everything ping!
Damn! Just.....damn!
My country sinks further and further into the......I don't know what....
They don't read a book unless I know what's in it. It's tiring, but necessary.
HUH???
too bad the headline doesnt read"
Ontario Library Promotes Homosexuality Disposal Units in stalls.
Welcome world, to the far left liberalism touch -- isn't it pretty???
So instead of ridding the library of junkies, the answer is to allow them a clean environment to shoot up? At the freaking library???
Yeah, I wanna be a lib.
What a shame! How on earth has it gotten this bad?
>>>I don't know what their intent is - but all the people I know who use needles in public are diabetics and they appreciate a a safe needle disposal container.>>>
I don't know what kind of diabetics you know, but the ones I know wouldn't have them clogging up the drains, on the floor and in sanitary napkin bins. Somehow I don't see this as a diabetic issue.
I would think that diabetics would be a lot more likely than drug addicts to concern themselves with proper needle disposal. Addicts usually reuse their needles a zillion times, so they don't throw away many, and when they do, they're likely to toss them on the floor or flush them down a toilet even if a proper sharps container is readily available.
"...One suggested resource is SpiderBytes, a teen sex education site. The site contains extensive information on homosexuality and encourages same-sex experimentation, telling teens to “remind yourself that same-sex experiences are normal for everyone.”..."
This sort of "teen advice" is becoming more common everywhere. It amounts to Liberal/PC-approved child abuse.
Sounds like this "library" is promoting the spread of AIDS to me.
Not all diabetics are responsible, mentally healthy people. A lot are drifters, mentally ill homeless people, etc., and lots of dumb court decisions have prevented public libraries from keeping these people out when they're obviously not there to use the library. No doubt many hang out in libraries full time, especially in harsh winter weather.
Me too. Anyone with common sense knows this isn't about diabetics. Of course, that at FR who wish to constantly defend this type of behavior would have us believe otherwise.
You should have included a BARF alert!
Canada has been preoccupied with public syringe-exchange programs since the 1970's. By the late 1980's these programs took root all over Canada to help prevent viral infections like AIDS in Canada's "injection drug users", (aka heroin addicts).
PART of this insane, liberal program in Canada includes the offering of public syringe disposal places for drug addicts. Diabetics mostly inject themselves at home or work, and today they commonly use what are known as "disposable syringes" anyway.
