This book has primarily been written for Christians (who do not support homosexuality) in order to provide them with biblical answers they can give when challenged with arguments in favor of homosexuality. However, gay rights advocates and those in the LGBTQ community are invited to read the book as well. The book is complete with the necessary research and information that is vital to address the issue. The intent is not to castigate those who identify as gay or to inflame emotions, but to present an overall convincing argument as to why many Christians believe that they cannot support the LGBTQ lifestyle. There are Christians in America who have been persecuted (fired, jailed, sued, maligned, physically threatened, expelled from college programs, etc.) for not supporting, approving of, or participating in the affirmation of homosexuality. Many Christians who find themselves in such situations might not know, with certainty, how to biblically defend the faith and themselves as Christians. This book gives them the essential tools they need to defend their faith when it comes to this issue. The book is a biblical and constitutional defense (the latter is presented in detail in the eBook) against the persecution of Christians who do not support homosexuality (homosexual acts) and explains why their non-endorsement is a question of faith and religion, not of intolerance and discrimination. Dodds emphasizes that there is a difference between tolerance and support, but that the line between the two has been blurred, causing many Christians to be unjustly accused of intolerance and bigotry. She asserts that Christians have no less a legal right to be Christian, than gays have a legal right to be gay.While the main focus of most books on either side of the issue is whether or not homosexuality is wrong from a biblical standpoint, this book basically focuses on the injustice of persecuting Christians who believe that the Bible teaches that homosexuality is morally wrong and thus do not condone it. The book supports the position that says that it is reasonable, when taking into account the Scriptures that address homosexuality, for Christians to believe that homosexuality is immoral, and that it is therefore a violation of their constitutional rights of freedom of religion and freedom of speech, if forced to go against this belief, or if persecuted for upholding it.
