Summary: Tasteless
Review: It takes an experienced lawyer to piece together sketchy outdated information, common folk-myths and prejudices regarding the gay community to create a fantastic piece of propoganda for the Christian Right. Magnuson does just that, perpetuating every myth from "homosexuals lobby for pedophilia" to "gay men sleep with hundreds of other men each year."If one were to believe every word in this book, he or she would assume that not only are gay people very busy between their constant sexual partners and social deviancies , but they are a also a threat in their attempts to destroy heterosexual society by disease and legislation. In my opinion, this is a piece comparable to material produced in Nazi Germany that tried to portray all Jews as evil, greedy, heartless people based 1% on rare individual experience with a person who happened to be a Jew and 99% on prejudice. As another reviewer said, conclusions are jumped to from an insignificant bit of material. It's a bit like saying that since Washington DC has a high murder rate and is full of government officials, everyone who lives in the District of Columbia is a murderer and a politician. Try reading Morton Hunt's "The Natural History of Love" for a perspective of how love and marriage have evolved since the time of Christ, and Mel White's "Stranger at the Gate" for Gay Christian experience. Don't let someone else tell you what gay people do, as this book attempts and paints an inaccurate portrait. Talk to a gay person, or read a book he or she has written.

Review: Nice to read about how the religious right thinks people who are different than they are shouldn't have rights ... Let's just say that if the shoe were on the other foot, this book would never have been published.

Summary: Excellent Book
Review: This is an excellent, well-researched and well-argued informative book. It is presented in a useful question and answer format and I suppose the strength of the truth it contains and the accessibility of its common sense assertions must really annoy its closed-minded detractors. The information it contains deserves to be widely read.
