Book Review - Outrage: How Gay Activists and Liberal Judges Are Trashing Democracy to Redefine Marriage

Customer Review

There is really no logical argument against homosexuality, presented in this particular book or elsewhere (that I have seen). Judicial officials are not out to destroy democracy - they're doing their job and interpreting laws that are anti-discrimination and attempting to apply it to everyday life. The conservative right in America, usually religious, does not support homosexuals because the bible tells them that homosexuals are immoral. It has been my experience that if you ask the conservative right why they consider homosexuality to be immoral, they cannot come up with any solid, logical reason, and turn to quoting bible passages, and the way this book read, I could completely picture the author doing the same. In effect, it is extremely important that one comes up with their own reason for deducing what is and is not immoral, and ethical philosophy is a very good source for doing that, as it is impartial, and turns to logic to dictate ethics rather than depend on any one authority figure.

What does harm society, are the biases, prejudices, and intolerance regarding homosexual Americans. One can also conclude that there are a lot of misconceptions and stereotypes regarding homosexuals that are simply not true. A lot of them were found in this book. This type of misinformation - the spreading of biases and the repression of fact - is what causes the intolerance that divides America.
