"Nick" writes: "Provides a thorough and scholarly rebuttal to arguments Evangelicals use against homosexuals and same-sex marriage. Highlights the deceiving arguments and misleading information used by the Religious Right. Includes the latest science on what causes homosexuality and if it can be changed, and cultural evidence of same-sex marriage and families around the world. Also puts an anthropological twist on what the Bible says about homosexuality. Overall, one of the best books on the current debate over homosexuality and same-sex marriage. Very timely given the marriage amendments and debates. A definite read for both gays (and their families) and Christians, and certainly gay Christians!"
"arbedweis" writes: "Very worthwhile book. My favorite part is actually the title, which really says it all. This book covers the science of sexual orientation, history and anthropology of same-sex relationships, and the evangelical worldview. It shows the fallacies and inconsistencies in the evangelical worldview, the impact of that worldview on gay people, and how religious people can reconcile reality and faith. It is written by an anthropologist and enlightened evangelical, who sees no conflict between true religious faith and support for gay rights. I hope this book will wake up some evangelicals to the harm they are causing gay people. I bought the book to give to my evangelical parents when I come out to them (I'm 53, they are in their 80s). The author quotes for a small number of evangelical leaders a bit too often for my taste, but overall the book is well-written and accessible."
