Was truly fascinating with the similarities between the queer Jewish and the queer Mormon experience. Also very interesting that we are facing so many of the same issues we were back in the 80s

Great book. I wish more Jews would read it.

[Arnie · Rating 3 out of 5]

Thankfully, the Jewish community has made great strides in embracing LGBT members over the past few decades. This book reflects the work that was needed when it was first published, and serves to remind us that the work is not completed. The essays are personal, moving, thoughtful and varied.
