The Spell of Religion: And the Battle over Gay Marriage ReviewThe Spell of Religion is highly recommended (the book that is) and it is truly comforting to know that more and more straight people from religious backgrounds are taking such a bold stance for gay rights/marriage as Sheri Lynne Lawson does here. We in the gay community know that one of our fiercest enemies is the right-wing conservative-evangelical clan. We don't hate them but they sure are hell bent to oppress and suppress the gay community as much as they can. They don't want gay folk to have the same opportunity to love and marriage as they do; no they want that for themselves and we can't share that unless we magically change our sexual orientation which we know is impossible and God does not hear those prayers when we ask to redo his creation. An important point made in this book is how much damage is done to each gay person who is deprived of Love and marriage. An excerpt by a Mike Kessler from her book reads, "Do not expect of others what you would not expect of yourself. Do not expect others to live a life of loneliness, deprived of love and affection, merely because their love is different from yours. Please show that you value compassion thought and love, not blind unquestionable obedience to impossible and cruel expectations."
Sheri expounds on this point by saying how much damage has been done through the years to the gay community and how the churches have indoctrinated their congregations toward this type of suffering and that they are the ones that need to get on their knees and pray for forgiveness for every heart they have shattered, for every soul drowning in the fear of never knowing God's love because they are gay.
I could go on and on but please check this book out. I wish every church member in America would read it and Sheri would also like every Mormon church goer to read it. She was deeply hurt by the passage of prop 8 as all of us in the gay community. She being an "ex-mormon" and knowing all the money pumped in to stop gay marriage in CA made her heart sick too.
As you read this book you will see the kindness, honesty and integrity this woman has and the fighting spirit that is in her as she stands up for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all of us in America!
This book is now part of my most favorite books in my library. I encourage you all to read it and get your friends, family and church members to read it. If they have an open heart they just might begin to learn about compassion.The Spell of Religion: And the Battle over Gay Marriage Overview
