First, these kinds of laws are fucked. Hopefully the First Amendment will
always be intrepeted to forbid them in the US.

Second, I know nothing of this stupid fucking book of hers, but assuming--as
the story here says--that she uses it to "attack" "gays",  then that would
put in comfy company with the very Islamic cretins she bemoans. I suppose
the irony is lost on her.
