Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, Or\u003c\/p\u003e library Journal \u003cp\u003ethe Authors Of This Short But Succinct Study Explore The Connection Between The Traditions Of Christianity And The Political And Social Regulation Of Sexuality In America. They Conclude That Legal Restriction On The Practices Of Gays And Lesbians Is Religious Domination By Another Name. Jakobsen (director, Ctr. For Research On Women, Barnard Coll.) And Pellegrini (drama, Univ. Of California, Irvine) Contend That Gays Will Never Achieve The Full Rights Of Citizenship As Long As They Couch Their Arguments In Terms Of Tolerance For Their Lifestyles. Instead, The Authors Believe That Sexuality Should Be Held As A Protected Freedom Like Speech, Association, Or-for That Matter-religion. While Their Argument Is For The Most Part Convincing, Some Readers Might Be Put Off By The Obvious Ideological Agenda Of This Book. Far From Being An Obsolete Concept, Tolerance, Particularly In The Face Of Strongly Held Views On Both Sides, Seems More Important Today Than Ever. This Book Is Accessible To The General Reader, Although Some May Have Difficulty With The Writers' Use Of Academic Jargon.
