JESUSLAND AND J.D.s: I am looking for Protestant resources on homosexuality that are not: a) false (…i.e. against the teaching of the Catholic faith),
b) reliant on falsehood (for example, studies “proving” that all gay men die before age 15 from a combination of syphilis, AIDS, tuberculosis OF THE SOUL, and being featured in the obituaries of gay newspapers in the mid-1980s… and yes, if you’re thinking I’m intensely uninterested in anything featuring the surnames “Socarides” and “Nicolosi,” you’re two hundred percent right),
c) predicated on the belief that the only good gay is an ex-gay,
or d) generally lame.
Thus far I’ve found precisely nothing. I accept that this is because I am provincial. A friend gave me an almost-but-not-quite! pamphlet from Athletes in Action, all about lesbianism in women’s sports (quite good in a lot of ways, but in thrall to the “ex-gay” ideology), but I trust there is more and better out there. …Yeah?
ETA: OK, now I have a better grasp of what I’m looking for: practical stuff, less about theory or Biblical interpretation, more the kind of thing you’d give somebody whose kid just came out, you know? Also, Courage-esque groups would be great to hear about. …Also, similar stuff from a Jewish perspective would also be fantastic. If you want a really awesome, up-front interview (“Gay sex or Jew. How come Jew won?”), go here now.
