Topeka, KS, library, employee settle dispute about gay-rights talk

The Lawrence Journal-World Reports A library employee and mother of a gay son prevailed in her struggle to speak on the job about gay and lesbian rights.

Bonnie Cuevas can discuss the topic at the Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library if she doesn’t disrupt work, according to a letter from the library’s attorney.

The American Civil Liberties Union sent a letter to the library after two supervisors told Cuevas on June 27 that she couldn’t speak about a U.S. Supreme Court decision striking down anti-sodomy laws as unconstitutional.
