Opposition to same-sex marriage from the conservative right rests primarily on the claim that the practice is prohibited by Christian beliefs and values. In God Believes in Love, openly gay New Hampshire Episcopalian Bishop Gene Robinson shows that this logic is inherently wrong. A vital tool for anyone who is grappling with what they believe their religious faith demands and what they know about the gay people in their lives, God Believes in Love addresses several key questions: -What's Wrong with Civil Unions? -Does Gay Marriage Undermine Marriage? -What if My Religion Doesn't Believe in Gay Marriage -Doesn't the Bible Condemn Homosexuality? In a culturally polarized election year, God Believes in Love will help readers of all stripes and convictions better understand why full marriage equality is so important and why it is a violation of civil rights to deny access to marriage because of sexual orientation. That the struggle for marriage equality is not about denying religious freedom; it is about commitment, compassion, acceptance, and the right to love.
