Amazon reader review: Mr. Redmond does an excellent job of reminding the reader of the terror, double-talk and ridiculous fears surround the gay rights movement, in particular gay marriage. Although this may not convince your Rush Limbo-supporting uncle that gays should marry, it offers solid, fact-based arguments that any open-minded individual can swallow and adopt. By comparing gay marriage and gay rights issues to black oppression of the 60's and feminism of the 70's, Redmond makes very real comparisons. He also spends much needed time letting the hot air out of the religious right's opinionated and factually wrong ideas about homosexuals. As pointed out in the book, homosexuals are a small portion of the population. Their numbers have not grown in size as members have become more visible. The majority is working; thriving, loving members of society who only wish have equal rights. It challenged my though process about gay marriage. It's simply amazing how much false, right-wing, negative slander about homosexuals permeates our culture. Much of the false information is presented as scientific study, when it is mere religious propaganda. Redmond gets through the muck and to help us see the humans who are deprived real freedoms in our country. Humans whose only difference is how they have sexual intercourse. |
