Slouching towards Gaytheism: Christianity and Queer Survival in America (Queer Politics Cultures)

W.C. Harris

4.9/5 (16710 ratings)

Description:Slouching towards Gaytheism brings together two intellectual traditions -- the New Atheism and queer theory -- and moves beyond them to offer a new voice for gay Americans and atheists alike. Examining the continued vehemence of homophobia in cultural and political debate regarding queer equality, this unabashed polemic insists that the needs met by religion might be met more safely and less toxically by forms of community that do not harass and malign gay and lesbian Americans or impede collective social progress. W. C. Harris argues that compromises with traditional religion, no matter how enlightened or well intentioned, will ultimately leave heteronormativity alive and well. He explores a range of recent movements, such as Dan Savage's It Gets Better project, reparative ex-gay therapy, Christian purity culture, and attempts by liberal Christians to reconcile religion with homosexuality, and shows how these proposed solutions are either inadequate or positively dangerous. According to the author, the time has come for gaytheism: leaving religion behind in order to preserve queer dignity, rights, and lives.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
