Friends and Family: True Stories of Gay America's Straight Allies

All across America straight men, women, and children are braving community disapproval, job loss and ministerial defrocking to join in the battle for gay and lesbian equality. Woog has crafted a collection of true stories of parents and friends of lesbians and gay men who are doing remarkable things within and for the gay rights movement. Accounts include a 14-year-old boy who battled the Boy Scouts, a 12-year-old girl who lobbied her state legislature, and members of Jewish, Mormon and Baptist congregations who all took stands against their religious communities.
