Download or read book Gay Passover written by Saul Sugarman and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-03-29 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a haggadah, but an unconventional one. Many in the LGBTQ community come from humble roots; We move from suburban, conservative areas to big cities. We come to terms with our identities as being different from the families that raised us. This story is not unlike the journey Moses took. "Gay Passover" reimagines the Exodus story in this way, but as a comedy that features Neil Patrick Harris as Moses, Cher as God, Oprah as the Angel of Death. It's supposed to be lighthearted and make you laugh. The book began as a dinner party in my San Francisco home and in 2019 became a very successful Kickstarter. Now you can own it, too.The story begins in a suburban Middle American town, where residents living there are plagued with totally basic hair-dos, and they live in ugly homes. Soon the gays arrive, fixing up the neighborhoods and throwing fabulous wedding parties. The town mayor begins to worry the entire town will turn gay, and orders families to kill their gay babies. One mother couldn't bear to do it, though, and so one child would be spared and eventually become Neil Patrick Harris, the adoptive son of conservative senators.Some favorite moments: - Let's just say "The Burning Bush" is a lesbian bar in Kansas.- The 10 plagues for suburban straight people include skinny jeans and glitter bombs.- If Cher could turn back time, you bet she would have declared herself god of the gays, like she does in this story.This book has been beautifully illustrated by Max Charnley. In addition to the story itself, some other sections include: - A "gayder" plate with symbols reflective of the LGBTQ community and our shared experiences.- Songs and games like "Let My Gays Go" and "One Twink, One Twink" a variation on Chad Gadya- "The four gays" a variation on "The four children"- Seven recipes to throw a highly successful "Gay Passover" party

The three volumes look at the lived experiences of LGB people from varied perspectives and provide comprehensive coverage on a wide variety of topics ranging from LGB youth and LGB aging to the approaches to LGB people of different religions, including Islam, Judaism, and Christianity. Chapters focus on topics including the ongoing criminalization of same-sex sexual conduct and how international human rights law can be used to improve the lives of LGB people. Particular attention is paid to the rights of bisexuals, a group often ignored in works focusing on sexual orientation. Volume 1 focuses on history, politics, and culture relating to LGB people; Volume 2 focuses on the laws—domestic and international—governing LGB people; and Volume 3 provides snapshots of the current state of LGB experience in countries worldwide, presented by geographical region: Europe, the Americas, Africa, the Middle East, and the Asia Pacific region.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text explores what it is like to be part of both the lesbian and Jewish communities, suggesting ways in which lesbians can reconcile these seemingly discordant elements of their identity. It advocates the acceptance of lesbians into the Jewish tradition by offering new interpretations of the Torah traditionally regarded as prohibitive of homosexuality. The book counters the millennia of Midrashim (scholarly comment on the Torah) condemning gays and lesbians, by examining the culture of biblical lawgivers and the culture of the commentators themselves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Q: How does Heather Greenblotz, the thirty-one-year-old heiress to the world's leading matzo company, celebrate Passover? A: Alone. In her Manhattan apartment. With an extremely unkosher ham-and-cheese panini. But this year will be different. The Food Channel has asked to film the famous Greenblotz Matzo family's seder, and the publicity op is too good to, ahem, pass over. Heather is being courted by the handsome director and the subtly sexy cameraman, and she's got family coming out of her ears. It's enough to make a formerly dateless heiress feel like a princess. After she casts an ancient shopkeeper as Grandma and coaxes her bisexual father to make an appearance, Heather thinks she's pulled it off. Until her mother stages an unexpected walk-on. As the live broadcast threatens to become a Greenblotz family exposé, Heather must dig deep to find faith in love, family and, most of all, herself.
