Recently, Bess again found himself in the spotlight with Palin, when it was reported that his 1995 book, "Pastor, I Am Gay," was among those Palin tried to have removed from the Wasilla Public Library when she was mayor.
How circular can you get. Bess is in the spotlight because he reported that Palin tried to ban his book?
He didn't find himself in the spotlight, he grabbed it, pointed at himself and yelled, "She tried to ban my book."
Your make it sound as if there is a source for the supposed banning other than Bess. There isn't.
Maybe he's 100% sure Palin wanted his book banned. Maybe she did want the book banned, but this is just sloppy reporting.
Twisting the very source of something as saying why he's in the spotlight. I'm sure that was done because of a lack of research as opposed to let's say, an attempt to make the matter seem to have more legitimacy that it warrants.
