While this book was a slight breath of fresh air, I think that we are missing the whole, entire point. We are addressing this as "an issue" and that, no matter what your intent, is insulting and, to be honest, archaic.

Why is it so hard to put homosexuality on the same line as heterosexuality? Why is it so hard to believe the God who hardened Pharoh's heart and allowed/required Christ's death on the cross as atonement, would not make people gay? And if so, at least they have someone to love.

I put this here with hopes that my conservative friends won't get wind of it and shower me with examples and proof-texted verses- which most all of them have more to do with idolatry- what really pisses God off the most of all the things people can do- than it has to do with sexual attraction.

At least this book is a step in the right direction. He seems pretty respectful of both camps. I would recommend it... but at the same time, if you are where I am, by the end you will become frustrated that this is even an "issue" any more. This is people. It is a reality and if we were not so concerned whether we were gay, it would not be so hard.

It is a great resource for parents who struggle though, I do appreciate this book. My issue is more with the "argument" on a whole. ( )
