As someone who grew up with the deeply held religious conviction that homosexuality was a huge sin and ended up just giving up on religion entirely after realizing I was gay in my mid-20s (having been unjustly excommunicated from my faith which resulted in losing almost my friends and being disowned by my father), this subject has been of personal interest to me. I thought it was well-written, well-researched both Biblically and historically, and presented in a logical and ordered manner. I read it in less than a day and my copy is now covered in all manner of notes. I intend to lend this book out to many, so I hope no one minds the notes. My only disappointment in the book was that it didn't delve much into how marriage has changed over time from Biblical times to the Middle Ages to today and how using the argument of "traditional" is not really a valid argument as heterosexual marriages of today are nothing like those in Biblical times. I definitely would have enjoyed reading more, but loved what was written.
