    About this ebook

    Honest, faithful people are wondering if the Bible is really telling them to hate gay people. This book is a reasoned response to that inquiry. It deals with the Scriptures most often cited to justify homophobia and provides a more loving interpretation. Six lesbians tell their story and how the Church has impacted their lives. Families and clergy are given clear guidelines on how to offer support and kindness to this marginalized and maligned group of women. This is an important book for our time. Homophobia, cruelty, and denial of human dignity to all gay people at home and globally have re-emerged, much of it fueled by false and malicious biblical interpretation.
