The Great Debate

"Defending a Higher Law" is one of the few texts available that gives some coherent,and unprejudiced,arguments against same-sex marriage. It also sheds some light on the late activist Harry Hay and his homoerotic/androgynous mysticism. It also makes some connections with Communism (since this is from the Tradition/Family/Property Committee) Agree or disagree, it has better writing than the latest Dr. James Dobson screed,or the pro-Prop.8 booklets scattered around California. "Defending" makes basic arguments about male/female complementarity,child upbringing,and the importance of matter. However,it does overlook that yes,straight married people do the same things in bed that gay people do. It also overlooks-as conservative texts normally do--lesbians. As usual,it focuses on the dangers of gay male sex-one assumes lesbians are Vestal Virgins. The argument against gay male sex could be best reduced to-promiscuity is bad,and that applies to gays and straights. "Defending" has its strongest section discussing Harry Hay and the Radical Faeries. It explores homoerotic spirituality/mysticism,and takes it seriously. It's an irony,considering that neopagans tend to focus on the union of the Goddess & the God. Androgynous spirituality is the new Gnosticism. "Defending" is useful in explaining the passing of Prop.8,and the amendments in Florida and Arizona. It sheds light on an emotional controversy.

Excellent Book

Now, I come from a varied perspective. Some of my family suffers from this disorder. One of my best friends is lesbian. How could I ever be against the "personal choice" or :predetermined nature" of another? Well, I realized, after coming back to the Church, that choices can be misguided, and indeed, go against natural law. As far as genetic pre-determinants are concerned, there is no biological proof for this. I wish I read this book before I wrote my philosophy paper Nevertheless, this book was the most concise, systematic, and powerful work I have ever read on this topic. It is a book that every psychologist and priest in the world should have sitting on their shelf, hopefully after it was read. It presents cogent, medical, psychological, theological, and biological evidence that the arguments that the homosexual activist groups present is, at best, misinformation, and at worst, a strategically planned propaganda campaign to spread error. Don't plan on reading politically correct jargon in this book. Don't plan on reading hate-speech either. This is not a fundamentalist tirade against the laundry list of "the worlds sins"... This is simply a focused and narrow approach to specific arguments, treated with in depth analysis, as it dismantles their arguments, piece by piece. This book is highly recommended. God Bless, Laurence

A Definite must-read

Excellent, through and through. Couldn't put it down. Solid scientific arguments together with fluid writing style add up to a blockbuster... A friend I gave the book to later told me he was still up at 1AM reading it and didn't want to stop. The book is chock full of persuasive arguments showing how homosexuality is not genetic, and how many people who used to be homosexual have been able to be free of unwanted same-sex attractions through specialized therapy. I've met some of these people who are now happily married with children. Get this book!

Excellent educational resource

Before reading this book, I wasn't sure if the homosexual movement was a spontaneous reaction or a calculated and gradual process of selling homosexuality to mainstream America. Now I know better. "Defending a Higher Law" shows the origins of the homosexual movement, starting with Harry Hay and a handful of committed homosexuals who pushed their agenda with painstaking care to desensitize the public to homosexuality. The book makes this very clear. Since the homosexual revolution could not stand alone, it was ushered in by the media, liberal academia and lax clergy. Also, the sexual revolution of the 60s and 70s were stepping stones in this process.This book deals with the sentimental notions about homosexuality which circulate today. In a calm narrative style, it offers the facts about the truly devastating effects of homosexuality on people and society. It also also offers hope to homosexuals who want help in overcoming their problems. The question and answer format in the chapter on prevalent misconceptions about homosexuality is very helpful. I think this part of the book is ideal for college students and teachers alike.Easy reading too.

Excellent analysis of the homosexual revolution

The recent victories of the homosexual movement in America, and their illegal actions in San Francisco, New York, and other places was a real wakeup call for me. In looking for good argumentation against same-sex "marriage", I came across this book, "Defending a Higher Law." Thoroughly researched and from a Catholic perspective, it is by far the most complete analysis of the current crisis afflicting America, approaching the homosexual revolution from a moral, scientific, and historical angle. A must read for anyone interested in fighting the homosexual revolution and preserving the family and the sanctity of marriage -- very worth while.
