Ground breaking research
Hertzog's work examines the electoral behavior and political participation of GLBT Americans. Notably with the 1992 election of Bill Clinton, this group came out of the shadows of American politics, and their quest for equality was given unparralleled endorsement first from the campaign trail, and then the White House.

One of the greatest civil rights success stories of the 20th century has been the movement for gay liberation, and the century's end is the perfect--in fact, irresistible--moment for summing up its enormous but uneven achievements and for plotting its future. In Read more

Editorial Review

After the 1994 elections, Newt's zealous promotion of "family values" made lesbian little sister Candace a prime media target. The attention she received not only embarrassed Newt and his cronies, it launched Candace on an unexpected career as a political activist. The Human Rights Campaign Fund recruited her as a spokesperson and for the last two years she's been traversing the country, speaking everywhere from rallies to gay bars and spearheading a voter registration effort. With Chris Bull, a correspondent for the Read more

Expected More
With states amending their constitutions to ban gay marriage, the media's fixation on "family values" and the Red state vs. Blue state dichotomy, it is welcome feeling to know that these issues did not spring today or ten years ago when Candace Gingrich wrote her personal and political memoir.
The Accidental Activist
This personal and political memoir clearly depicts the struggles and warmth of her experience. The determination to explain what it is like to live as a homosexual in America has been successful.One of the most heroic works I have read.

Radical Left-wing reading
The only people that could agree with this book are far, far left wing.Candence simply rides on her brother's fame and runs roughshoud over him.This is one book that should stay in the closet. ... Read more

Editorial Review

In this "roadmap to gay and lesbian empowerment," the former head of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force provides a blueprint for broad social revolution that starts by looking within one's own heart. Drawing upon the personal stories of queer Americans representing a diverse range of ages, races, religions and sexual orientations, Osborn celebrates the courage inherent in every decision to come out, and argues that simply by living our lives, each of us provides compelling arguments for our place in society. She then suggests ways in which gays, lesbians, and everyone else can come together and build inclusive communities of hope which serve as models not just for the gay rights movement, but for all Americans. ...

Do Yourself a favor, BUY IT!
This book has been an inspiration for me.I have begun to queston why American culture has promoted the feelings of fear and guilt that surround the gay culture.I don't believe it promotes a healthy or accurate view of gays, lesbians, and bisexuals.This book asks questions, then provides real life stories to illustrate.Torie Osborn's book is a battlecry for compassion and equality.Empower yourself and better your community.

Torie is a cheerleader for anyone who's coming out
This book gave me the courage to come out.What more can I say?TorieOsborn lays out the arguments for coming out thoroughly & convincingly. She doesn't deny that it's difficult & can be risky, but her point isthis:the alternatives are much worse.I read this book, I decided Ibelieved that author was correct, & then I changed my life.For theBETTER. ...

Morally and Politically Misleading
This book is an affront to all Americans irespective of sexuality. The jacket's art mistakenly implies the reader will get a factually netural andconstitutionally accurate acount of Amendment two and Romer Vs Evans. Makes an airtight case against the "gay rights" agenda!
This book thoroughly destroys all of the media myths about homosexuals being a politically powerless group and exposes the truth of the homosexual lobby's political, educational and economic clout in America.Bransfordbolsters his case by using homosexual sources that disprove all of themedia's sweet talk about how homosexuals are just like the rest of us andin need of non-discrimination laws.This book is a must for anyoneinterested in how to defeat the "gay rights" agenda. ...
