Dark Obsession: The Tragedy and Threat of the Homosexual Lifestyle

Rating:
Summary: Ridiculous
Review: Any book that denounces a whole group of people like this is absurdist at best, bigoted and hateful at worst. Instead of reading this, may I suggest that you attend a PFLAG meeting, or read any number of other books that will allow you to actually understand the gay movement and it's people rather than using hyperbole, blantant untruths and fear to motivate people to hate a group that does you no harm.

Summary: Nothing worth reading
Review: Any book that, instead of supporting equal rights and acceptance for all, suggests that homosexuality (which exists in many animal species and is in fact a normal minority) is wrong sends the incorrect message. Legalize gay marriage and lift the stigma from homosexuality and no one gets hurt!

Summary: Is this guy serious?
Review: Dailey's book is a textbook example of one set of misguided beliefs and absurd, bigoted assumptions after another. Like most homophobes, Dailey never bothered to actually go out into the gay community and speak with the people face-to-face, or attempt to engage in dialogue with great contemporary gay and lesbian philosophers like Edward Stein, Judith Butler, Claudia Card, Mary Daly, and Cheshire Calhoun -- or bother to even pick up a few copies of the work of Michel Foucault. This guy knows nothing about gays and lesbians, nothing of our history, nothing of gay and lesbian theory, nothing of the many, many careful anthropological and sociological studies done on gay life showing that gays are less likely to engage in domestic abuse, rape, child molestation (the numbers of straight men preying on little girls are off the charts), drug abuse, alcoholism, and murder. If anything, gays and lesbians are a lot more healthy than heterosexuals -- both psychologically and physically. In fact, the largest group of men with AIDS in America are straight African-Americans (not that that is not very tragic; it is). But the point is, I'm trying to show that gay people get a horribly bad rep from foaming-at-the-mouth evangelicals posing as psychotherapists.

Summary: What a crock o' crapola!
Review: I was trapped in the homosexual lifestyle for about 3 years before I realized the truth about it. Thank God, he has delivered me from it. A friend (who himself is getting out of the lifestyle) handed me this book. I read it and I can' t believe how accurate it was! While reading I kept on thinking to myself, yes that was myself, this is so accurate. How Dailey describes what the homosexual lifestyle is all about , I thought for sure he was writting a book about myself! This book is a must read for anyone who wants to understand the truth about the homosexual lifestyle, what its all about and its agenda. Thank you Dailey for writting such an accurate book!

Summary: HITLER WAS RIGHT!!!
Review: Kudos to Timothy Dailey for blowing the lid off these scheming queers. Might I also recomend The Big Book of Jewish Conspiracies by Joshua Neuman.

Summary: Pure ignorance
Review: Now we know anyone can get a book published no matter how little they know about the topics they discuss.

Summary: Makes a point
Review: The point of this book is that the inexorable grip of homosexual lust leads inevitably to the betrayal of wife and family, and ultimately the tragedy of lives cut short. Although this plot appears to be taken from films like Fatal Attraction (minus the homosexual bit of course), it does serve to remind all of us that family betrayal is usually a bad thing. It's good that there are still books out there with such a wholesome, moral message. My only query is, why couldn't the author have left out all the unwholesome references to homosexuality?

Summary: The Truth
Review: This book looks at the truth, plain and simple. It appears from previous reviews that some involved in the homosexual lifestyle are more concerned about dissing this book, than seriously reading it. Whether you are gay or straight, the facts are there, and they still have merit, even if you personally believe you are the 'unradical exception.' Social workers and counselors can tell you that it is no 'myth' that the homosexual lifestyle with it's 'personal rights' focus is leaving a lot of broken lives in its wake. One reviewer says that he thinks the plot comes from a Fatal Attraction-like perspective, but I am aware of many many families who find themselves the unwilling victims in a non-exaggerated homosexual version of this 'plot.' As pointed out previously, homosexual lust does often lead to the betrayal of wife and family, but apparantly wives and children are less valuable than unbridling one's lust. As to "Why couldn't the author have left out all the unwholesome references to homosexuality?"...the answer is simple, because he was facing the truth head-on, and homosexuality and unwholesomeness are not distant cousins.
This book is not 'radical' or unrealistic, nor is it uncompassionate. It offers hope to many who are hurting and covering their pain with sexual bandaids that bring no ultimate healing.

Summary: "Lifestyle" ?
Review: This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever read. As a gay man with a partner of 7 year I'd like to know how my "lifestyle" threatens anyone. Let's see... I get up at 7, go to work, come home, feed the cat, we make dinner, watch a little TV then go to bed. Unless it's Sunday-- then I get up at 9:30 to make it to church by 11:30. Ooooh! What a radical "lifestyle!" The contents of this book defy logic. It's the same old anti-gay, pro rich Republican rhetoric we've been exposed to for years. Take the money you'd spend on this garbage and donate it to charity instead.
