"I had in back of my mind a vague recollection of Anita Bryant's gay witch hunt through Kansas in the late seventies. I found it comical that Jerry Falwell's favorite scapegoat for disastrous earthquakes was homosexuality and not a natural shifting of tectonic plates. The lunacy and demonization that they preached didn't seem to add up with the gay people I had met in my own life." - Jennifer Knapp

"The old 'I've prayed about it and God told me to tell you' gambit. It's not that, at the very least, you can't appreciate your accuser putting some level of contemplation into the matter, but the frequency of which prayer is used as the impetus for confrontation is uncanny. I've never sat through one of these kinds of meetings when someone simply claims responsibility for their own opinion or disapproval." - Knapp

"My life had literally been saved, but it sounds so cliché to me (even still) to say that Jesus saved me, when there is so much more to the story. My choice to be a Christian was important, so I didn't want to be trivial in my writing...It was all well and good to say that Jesus had saved me, but so too had a good therapist and some serious cognitive therapy." --Jennifer Knapp
