Purple Books cannot publish every book for and about LGBT communities, so we support our friends who also do this work. I met Susan Gore at the Expanding the Circle Conference in San Francisco last month and she graciously gave a copy of her book to me. I deeply appreciate that we're beginning to have these conversations around sexuality and spirituality, and Susan's book does it so well. I hope you'll read it.
Coming Out in Faith:
Voices of LGBT Unitarian Universalists
Edited by
Susan Gore and Keith Kron (2011)
Skinner House Books
This wonderful book is a collection of personal stories of
LGBT people who are members of the Unitarian Church. By telling the stories of
their pasts, they share their experiences, strengths, and hopes for their own
futures as well as for all LGBT people. I especially liked that each chapter not
only speaks of an individual’s journey but also includes both a current photo
and one from when they were young. While the book is the compilation of stories
of some Unitarian Universalists people, the messages are universal, uplifting,
and incredibly sweet, bringing sexuality, gender identity, and spirituality. Coming Out in Faith includes a very
helpful section on language and terminology as well as a glossary and several
pages of resources.
