A scholar and activist argues that not only does the Bible not prohibit same-sex intimacy, but that the majority of its teachings support full equality for gays and lesbians and that sexual diversity is part of the beauty of nature.

First published: 2012
Publishers: Beacon Press

A must for all those who have same-sex attraction and have been told by religious zealots there is something wrong with them.

As a practicing Catholic, I believe one of the greatest errors and injustices by certain Christians has been the singling out of particular groups or actions as particularly sinful or displeasing to God. Homosexuality is obviously one of these groups/actions that have too often been singled out.

Along the lines of "Bible Bullies: How Fundamentalists Got The Good Book So Wrong," the author points out that the Bible is not fundamentally against homosexuals, and that extremely rare passages are quoted by homophobes in a campaign of hatred against gays, while they ignore the overall historical movement from a God of Condemnation to a God of Love. After all, Jesus said nothing about homosexuals, and neither did any of his 12 disciples (only the 13th, self-appointed "apostle," Paul, who never met Jesus).
