Las historias son verídicas, pero la identidad de los entrevistados ha sido cuidadosamente protegida. Los entrevistados aceptaron su participación voluntaria sin recibir ninguna ganancia ahora, antes o después de publicado el libro, y solamente con el deseo de traer un gran beneficio a la sociedad y que existan cambios Universales en el tratamiento que reciben los homosexuales. En la elaboración de este libro se ha tratado de conservar en la medida de lo posible, la manera de hablar de los entrevistados y mantener un lenguaje de índole familiar. Los deseos de la Autora son de crear consciencia y comprensión en los padres, familiares, amigos y conocidos para todos los seres humanos dentro de la comunidad lesbiana, gay, bisexual o transexual (LGBT), que todos hemos sido creados en forma humana y con el gran privilegio del libre albedrio. Podemos escoger las normas estipuladas por los hombres y las Iglesias, o regirnos por las leyes estipuladas del Gran Creador, “que nos amemos los unos a los otros”, sin distinguir clase, raza, o genero. Y UN MENSAJE para que ningún ser humano termine su vida terrenal por haber sido despreciado al unir su vida con otro del mismo sexo.

Download or read book The Bible Christianity Homosexuality written by Justin R. Cannon and published by Justin Cannon. This book was released on 2008-07-14 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many commendable books on the Bible and homosexuality which span anywhere from a hundred to several hundred pages in length. For the curious, such books can sometimes be inaccessible or more than they really want to read. "The Bible, Christianity, & Homosexuality" is a concise yet profound analysis of the Bible verses often misused to condemn gay and lesbian Christians. This study was written to be accessible to all, indeed, something family members and friends of gay and lesbian Christians might actually take the time to read. The Los Angeles Times describes this work as "an illuminating...analysis that argues the Bible doesn't condemn faithful gay relationships." (McGough, 7/18/05).

Download or read book Hidden Mercy written by Michael J. O'Loughlin and published by Broadleaf Books . This book was released on 2021-11-30 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1980s and 1990s, the height of the AIDS crisis in the United States, was decades ago now, and many of the stories from this time remain hidden: A Catholic nun from a small Midwestern town packs up her life to move to New York City, where she throws herself into a community under assault from HIV and AIDS. A young priest sees himself in the many gay men dying from AIDS and grapples with how best to respond, eventually coming out as gay and putting his own career on the line. A gay Catholic with HIV loses his partner to AIDS and then flees the church, focusing his energy on his own health rather than fight an institution seemingly rejecting him. Set against the backdrop of the HIV and AIDS epidemic of the late twentieth century and the Catholic Church's crackdown on gay and lesbian activists, journalist Michael O'Loughlin searches out the untold stories of those who didn't look away, who at great personal cost chose compassion--even as he seeks insight for LGBTQ people of faith struggling to find a home in religious communities today. This is one journalist's--gay and Catholic himself--compelling picture of those quiet heroes who responded to human suffering when so much of society--and so much of the church--told them to look away. These pure acts of compassion and mercy offer us hope and inspiration as we continue to confront existential questions about what it means to be Americans, Christians, and human beings responding to those most in need.

Download or read book Staying Sober in Mexico City written by Stanley Brandes and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Staying sober is a daily struggle for many men living in Mexico City, one of the world's largest, grittiest urban centers. In this engaging study, Stanley Brandes focuses on a common therapeutic response to alcoholism, Alcoholics Anonymous (A.A.), which boasts an enormous following throughout Mexico and much of Latin America. Over several years, Brandes observed and participated in an all-men's chapter of A.A. located in a working class district of Mexico City. Employing richly textured ethnography, he analyzes the group's social dynamics, therapeutic effectiveness, and ritual and spiritual life. Brandes demonstrates how recovering alcoholics in Mexico redefine gender roles in order to preserve masculine identity. He also explains how an organization rooted historically in evangelical Protestantism has been able to flourish in Roman Catholic Latin America.
