Gay People In Western Europe From The Beginning Of The Christian Era To The Fourteenth Century
BY JOHN BOSWELL Ten years of research in a dozen languages went into this remarkable book. It is fascinating, not just because of the often unacknowledged gay history in Christianity and the Christian West that it presents, but also for the wit and wisdom the author brings to what might be considered modern day gay issues.

Love, Sex, Marriage And My Family
BY DAN SAVAGE Dan Savage's mother wants him to get married. His boyfriend, Terry, says 'no thanks' because he doesn't want to act like a straight person.

Throw into the mix Dan's straight siblings, whose varied choices form a microcosm of how Americans are approaching marriage these days, and you get a rollicking family memoir that will have everyone gay or straight, right or left, single or married howling with laughter and rethinking their notions of marriage and all it entails.

How I Survived The Ex-gay Movement!
BY PETERSON TOSCANO After 15 years of submitting to reparative therapy, ex-gay support groups and even three exorcisms, Peterson Toscano enrolled in the ex-gay program, Love in Action. He graduated successfully from the program nearly two years later, but in January, 1999, decided he just needed to accept himself as a gay man. He weaves together humor, program jargon & outrageous eye witness accounts to form a piece that is hilarious, poignant & inspirational. Peterson co-founded BeyondExGay.com & is a Quaker. Check out his blog at petersontoscano.wordpress.com. He retired the show in 2008 and this recording captures that final performance. DVD formatted international to work in all regions.

Ten Stories Of Love And Family
BY MICHELLE BATES DEAKIN This intimate account of ten same-sex couples brings to life how the decision to marry has affected them and their extended families. These personal journeys present a range of experiences, from a mother who became a gay rights activist when her youngest child came out as a lesbian, to a girl whose realization that her fathers were not married spurred the men to join the gay marriage lawsuit in Massachusetts, to a lesbian couple and devoted mothers of twins who fight for same-sex adoption rights in Oklahoma. Deakin chronicles both their private strides toward acceptance and their public struggles to advance gay rights.

Lesbian/bixexual/gay People Within Organized Religion
BY GARY COMSTOCK "Comstock... here combines recent studies of gay people in organized religion with his own research of gays and lesbians in the church. Making up for gaps in the studies he reviewed, he provides an overview of the religious life of the gay laity rather than church's view on homosexuality. His research covers all religions, including alternative and Native American religions, with an emphasis on the United Methodist Church (UMC) and the United Church of Christ (UCC). To facilitiate readability, interviews complement the empirical data... Comstock's focus is the hope that all people can worship equally." - Library Journal.
