Same-Sex Matters: The Challenge of Homosexuality

by Christopher Wolfe (Editor)

Homosexual activists owe much of their breathtaking success to conservative opponents who unwittingly participate in the disordered sexuality that propels the gay agenda. With "gay marriage" clearly on the horizon, a new book from Spence Publishing provides a stimulating reevaluation of homosexuality and its proper place in American public policy. This comprehensive examination of homosexuality starts with the fundamental political, social, and cultural principles at stake. Christopher Wolfe delineates a reasonable and persuasive position that recognizes homosexuality as a disorder to be sympathetically discouraged, controlled, and even cured. In a strikingly original contribution, Patrick Fagan then argues that contraception has "homosexualized" heterosexual sex. As long as self-centered, rather than other-centered, love is the norm, society will be defenseless against the demands of homosexuals. Subsequent sections cover public policy (anti-discrimination laws, the military, marriage and adoption), illuminate the cultural battlefield (the media, schools, and other institutions), defend the Christian and Jewish moral traditions, and confirm with personal testimony the possibility of overcoming homosexuality. This book is a sequel to Homosexuality and American Public Life (Spence Publishing, 1999). Both volumes originated in a 1997 conference of the American Public Philosophy Institute in which experts from a variety of fields, eschewing prejudice and rancor, explored the truth about homosexuality. The result is a study of matchless originality that is indispensable for an understanding of one of our thorniest public disputes.

"In the long run, legitimization of homosexuality is not true compassion."
This book makes some incredibly salient points. Unfortunately, it is significantly out of date as far as its handling of the legal battle and the "future" of society's response to homosexuality. However, many of its points are timeless, and i found myself encouraged to continue the good fight, as well as better prepared to answer those who oppose Scripture on these points. i highly recommend.
