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.
