I agree that Cohen’s book is WAY inappropriate–both for the simplistic and one-note approach to homosexuality AND for it’s imagery.

I can’t think of any book with an ex-gay theme that I’d deem suitable for children but think it would be a good thing to have a few among the books in the adult collection.

(At age 13, no one ever questioned my visits to the ‘adult stacks’ in the State Library; I’m thinking that a sincere kid with issues could likewise find their way–and I’d personally be encouraged if they were exposed to the diversity of opinion.)
