Summary: Morally and Politically Misleading
Review: This book is an affront to all Americans irespective of sexuality. The jacket's art mistakenly implies the reader will get a factually netural and constitutionally accurate acount of Amendment two and Romer Vs Evans. For starters, the author assumes that straights and GLBT people are mutually exclusive groups, ignoring the fact that GLBT rights do not take away anything from heterosexuals. As a former resident of Colorado, I was deeply saddened when the Amendment was passed, but rejoyced at the Supreme Court ruling. The book repeats the riddiculous but lingering stereotype that GLBT people are really well-heeled and thus do not need special rights. In reality, the amendment removed equal acess of police protection and anti-violence measures from GLBT people only. A basic study of American constitutional law and the 14th Amendment says the states and localities can offer more protection than the National government, but not less. In striking down the Amendment, the majority conservative Supreme Court ruled that states may NOT hold referendum to revoke the equal protection clause from entire groups of citizens based on a group characteristic They reasoned that if Colorado's amendment was allowed to stand, there would be nothing from prohibitng discrimination against the disabled and or racial and religious minorites in a community. This book is a litteral waste of space and time unless prospective readers are interested in seeing for themselves just how loopy the religious right really is. For people who claim to respect the country and individual rights, they obviously failed US Government classes.

Summary: Makes an airtight case against the "gay rights" agenda!
Review: This book thoroughly destroys all of the media myths about homosexuals being a politically powerless group and exposes the truth of the homosexual lobby's political, educational and economic clout in America. Bransford bolsters his case by using homosexual sources that disprove all of the media's sweet talk about how homosexuals are just like the rest of us and in need of non-discrimination laws. This book is a must for anyone interested in how to defeat the "gay rights" agenda.
