Oh dear. Perhaps Taipai should get the mantle of Asia's World City as Hong Kong under Carrie Lam clearly does not want it

I'm in two minds about this one. On one hand, if the books aren't popular and most people don't like them, they should be in 'closed stacks'... On the other hand, I've noticed that management in Hong Kong tends to respond to whichever minority complains the loudest, even on web forums.
It would appear they have not been put in 'closed stacks' because they are not popular. They have been taken off the general shelves because a group of people feel it is immoral for a book to portray (not promote) same sex parenting as a danger to the minds of children.
When Hong Kong is behind catholic Philippines you know HK has a problem

I went out to Festival Walk's Bookazine today and bought this. It's not in HKPL.

I would argue it is not about the number of times it is borrowed but the unnecessary segregation of a minority. If Marvin and Mohammed are co-dads of Mary, only that their names are alliterate should be important not they shouldn't be portrayed as so 'odd' that a parent or guardian is needed to be present before a kid and see if their names rhyme. Hardly good for building a society that is 'normal' by modern city standards.Original Post Deleted
