Marriage Equality: Why Same-sex Marriage Is Good for the Church and Nation

by Steven F Kindle

Overview

Support for marriage equality is booming across America and the world. As people become more acquainted with gays and lesbians, they find their attitudes shifting and are rethinking their opposition not only to same-sex marriage but to gay rights in general.

This book introduces the gay community to those who want to know more about their lives, their struggles, and their pursuit of full equality. If you are giving this serious thought, and want reliable information, this book is for you. It is also for LGBTs who wonder if God loves them and if any Christians are on their side. They will find that the Bible is very much on their side.

It is written from the perspective of a straight Christian pastor who moved from opposition to LGBTs and their movement to fully embracing their cause. Through examining the biblical, scientific, psychological and constitutional evidence, a full picture emerges of a common humanity in pursuit of common needs. Many myths and lies are debunked, and a forthright Christian defense of marriage equality is presented.
