Thou Shalt Not Love: What Evangelicals Really Say to Gays

The author, a gay Christian anthropologist, was a member of an evangelical church and went through reparative therapy; its failure led him to investigate both scientific and biblical views of homosexuality. Distilled from his personal experience and research, this critique draws from disparate cultures, genetics, evolution, psychology, and Bible studies. It illuminates the many issues faced by gays, their families, counselors, and ministers, including the current debate about same-sex marriage.
