Gscene banned from Worthing Libraries by Tory administration
Labour’s Parliamentary candidate for Worthing West, Ian Ross, has called on the Tory leader of Worthing Borough Council, Cllr Keith Mercer, to personally review the decision to ban Gscene from being distributed at the town’s libraries.In an email sent to the leader of the Council, Ian Ross said:
“I understand that local libraries have refused to allow Gscene, a free local community gay magazine, from distributing copies of its magazines with the other free literature on offer at the library for users to pick up.
“Having seen the magazine regularly, I see no reason why this decision has been arrived at. Like anywhere in the UK, Worthing has a local gay community. Community libraries are there to serve the needs of all the community and I would be grateful if you could personally look into this for me at your earliest convenience.”
