Faith, Politics, and Sexual Diversity in Canada and the United States

David Rayside

4.9/5 (30304 ratings)

Description:For decades, lesbians, gays, and other sexual minorities have agitated for significant political change in both the United States and Canada. Nowhere have these challenges provoked more heated response than among religious activists, many of whom fear that moral decay accompanies the public recognition of sexual diversity. Queer rights groups, on the other hand, worry about the policy ramifications of accommodating faith in the public sphere.A remarkable comparative study, this volume explores the interplay of sexual diversity and religious faith on both sides of the border. In examining the tenacity of anti-gay sentiment, as well as the dramatic shifts in public attitudes across all faith groups, these essays look at how interest group mobilization, political party ties to religious constituencies, court rulings, public policy, and debates over sexuality within faith communities have contributed to both conflict and bridge-building.Faith, Politics, and Sexual Diversity in Canada and the United States is a timely reminder that intense debate over sexuality and religion affects both Canadians and Americans, and reveals that religious adherence does not invariably entail opposition to the political recognition of queer rights.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
