Virtually Normal: An Argument about Homosexuality Paperback - 1996
by Andrew Sullivan
This incisively reasoned book by the editor of The New Republic addresses the full range of viewpoints on the issue. Sulllivan draws from both his personal experience and on rigorous argument to explore how a predominantly heterosexual society should treat those citizens who love members of their own sex. Auhor tour.
First line
There are as many politics of homosexuality as there are words for it, and not all of them contain reason.
From the jacket flap
no subject has divided contemporary America more bitterly than homosexuality. Addressing the full range of the debate in this pathbreaking book, Andrew Sullivan, the former editor of The New Republic, restores both reason and humanity to the discussion over how a predominantly heterosexual society should deal with its homosexual citizens.
Sympathetically yet relentlessly, Sullivan assesses the prevailing public positions on homosexuality--from prohibitionist to liberationist and from conservative to liberal. In their place, he calls for a politics of homosexuality that would guarantee the rights of gays and lesbians without imposing tolerance. At once deeply personal and impeccably reasoned, written with elegance and wit, Virtually Normal will challenge readers of every persuasion; no book is more likely to transform out sexual politics in the coming decades.
