In 1973 the United Church of Christ’s Executive Council urged the full acceptance of homosexual persons symbolized by ordination: “In the instance of considering a stated homosexual’s candidacy for ordination the issue should not be his/her homosexuality as such, but rather the candidate’s total view of human sexuality and his/her understanding of the morality of its use. Highly respected theologians are coming to the conclusion that gays and lesbians need to develop intimate and committed relationships. Our churches need to change, for the churches ought to be havens for gays and lesbians from the insufferable burdens they bear constantly.

It is to dehumanize and depersonalize gays and lesbians, caricaturing them only in terms of their sexual activities rather than seeing them as whole persons with lives that include more than sex. With feel-good dramatizations, the story seldom transcends the message that reaching out makes a difference. Louise believes that by reading about other people's challenges and aspirations, you can see yourself and your own.Some church people who are not accepting of gays and lesbians may say that homosexuality is an aberration of nature and that God doesn’t want it, just as he doesn`t want a child with Downs Syndrome because of the limitations it places on that child throughout life. Above all else, there is the very real threat of ultimate loneliness to one to whom all the normal structures of society – marriage, children, dependents, etc. If we would only accept them, respect them, affirm them and bring them out of their closets, they could give beauty and strength to society and our churches.

I was especially interested in the parts of the book when she tells of her family life growing up and it was fascinating to see the relationship with her father as he played a large part in my life too during my formative years as a child. When the Bible speaks of same-gender sex, it is always talking about heterosexuals who are given over to such lust that they commit lustful acts. While some homosexuals are sexually lustful and promiscuous, the percentage may actually be lower than that of heterosexuals.He is likely to have a feeling for history, and to be conservative in the best sense and cherish the values of the past. And without marriage, we remain second-class citizens – excluded, for no good reason, from participating in one of the basic institutions of society.
