Download Us versus Us: The Untold Story of Religion and the LGBT Community AudioBook Free
Would you believe 86 percent of LGBT people - from the happy marcher at the Pride Parade to the noiseless, closeted teenage - put in their youth in church? Over fifty percent of them still left those religious communities as people; three out of four would be happy to come back. For decades now, we've found ourselves caught up in a culture warfare: us versus them. Good news: There is no them. Our culture warfare is a civil warfare: us versus us. And there's a path toward important peace. Andrew Marin brings the startling results of his largest-ever scientific study of the religious history, tactics, and values of the LGBT community. Marin's results offer clear path for both sides of an extended cultural fight to meet in the middle, reducing neither conviction nor integrity as they rediscover the things they have as a common factor and the anticipation within Christ alone.
