I have watched this DVD more times than I can count. Now am reading the book, makes you really think about. What else have we been persuaded to look the other way about? There seems to be an awful lot of cover ups that go on in our government,...

The amazing part of this tragedy is that Shilits was a frequent visitor to the baths he condemns in this book even after knowing he was infected and thus infected countless other humans, directly or indirectly.
This book is good only if you...

And the band played on was a decent book. it gave a horrifying look at how homophobia affected the future outcome of the disease AIDS. It was extremely long and that was the one thing i didnt like about it. it was kind of slow paced, but was...

What can i say about this book?

Well for starters, it "takes you there". It strips the fat of excess materialism from your consciousness and takes you to a place of truth and peace that is our natural inheritance as children of GOD....

From the synopsis: While cautioning against viewing biblical teaching as "the last word on sexual ethics," he stresses the need for accurate understanding of what the biblical "facts" are and concludes that "the Bible supplies no real basis for...

A thoughtful work by a good scholar, but what seemed lacking to me was proper attentiveness to what the Bible really teaches about human sexuality. On the whole, it seems pretty clear that God created man and woman for one another and to bring...

'True Selves' is a unique and excellent book. The book cover says "For Families, Friends, Coworkers, and Helping Professionals".

It is that and so much more. It is a great resource for learning or teaching about trnassexualism....

This book gives a relatively good overall view of transsexualism for people who know nothing about it, but with some serious flaws. The author's descriptions of the experience are based entirely on accounts from therapy clients and her approach is...

The author does a good job of providing background information on transexuals and describing the obtacles they face before, during, and after transition. A good read for anyone who has a transexual spouse, family member, friend, or co-worker....

I have depended on the Spartacus guides for years, former revisions of course, and have found them to be indispensable reference tools. They are timely and accurate, which is not a small feat in many of the swiftly changing gay communities....

The challenge for someone like Erzen who is neither gay nor (I infer) Christian is to paint a picture of (ex?)gay Christians with real understanding rather than caricature. She does this admirably. If you want a picture of at least part of the...

You know this is not a subject that I know a whole lot about...though I do profess some interest and curiosity about the reasons why people choose gender reassignment surgery. Mostly I was interested in exploring the why's and if's about gender...

The format of this book makes it real hard to read and detracts greatly from the content. Your eyes have to dart from one side of a page to the other and back again then to the middle. The content is important but on the edge of the spectrum...

Gender Outlaw is considered a classic and a step forward. And it is, annoyingly.

A lot of her fearless theory, proto-GenderQueer, I believe is totally right on - and certainly harmonizes with my ideal of Permanent Transition. Yet...

Easy to read, to the point. Answers basic questions about Gays and Lesbians. Good reference book for anyone who has unanswered questions. I use it like a reference book, when a question comes up I open the book to see if there is an answer.

This may be a great book for homosexuals, or those thinking that they may be a homosexual, but for the rest of us who have real questions about homosexuality it is just more frustrating than informative. Almost the entire book can be summed up by...

I found that the book answered a lot of questions for me. Just coming to terms with my homosexuality, I found the book supportive, informative and educational. Eric Marcus has a great sense of humor and his writing shows it. Recommend it strongly.

This book is a very important resource and source of information for a parent of a LGBT child. It provides insight and "answers" to many questions parents overwhelmingly have when told that their child is LGBT. It is an excellent book for both...

It was very informative, and accurate. I, who am gay and recently just came out, bought this item for my parents.
