I am an ordained minister who has a gay son. I have seen how the world and family treat him. I think that I have a unique and NEW point of view on this topic. I think that gays, non-gays, Christians and everyone in between will learn something from this book.
I want to explain the title now. A person can commit a murder and unless he is caught; he is never punished. However; for a gay person they are punished every day of their lives.
If the murderer is caught, convicted in court AND sentenced; then he is punished and serves his time. The same thing holds true of a child molester, rapist, bank robber and everything else illegal.
When these criminals serve their time; they are released and live normal lives. Most are not harassed after they get out and they can do just about anything that they want to do. With the exception of child sex offenders; nobody ever knows who they are. They get out of prison, move to another city, get a job and start completely new lives.
However; for a gay person they are punished every day of their lives. The gay person doesn't have to be caught and they certainly don't get a trial. They don't even serve a limited number of years of punishment. (There are minimum and maximum sentences for crimes but these don't apply to gay people.)
The gay is shunned and has their rights restricted their entire life and never has the right to a jury trial or to present their side of the argument.
A murderer has insurance rights, family insurance rights, hospital visitation rights, adoption rights, rights to claim spousal retirement and many others that a gay person isn't given in our society today. This is unbelievably unfair and until someone points it out; most people don't realize just how bad it really is.
This book has many parts and is written to inform several different groups. Gays will like and learn from part of it. Christians will learn from part of the book. Friends and families of gays will learn from part of the book.
Yes each group will enjoy part of it and not enjoy part of it. This is because I push the issues more than you are used to seeing and I want people to think, NOT just about themselves but also about others.
