Founded in 1976, the LGCM has become the largest and most prominent group fighting to bring about change in the Christian Church's traditional and deeply entrenched homophobic attitudes. Eleven chapters provide a history of the movement; a critical analysis of the impact of the growth of the religious Right and of the AIDS crisis on campaigns for lesbian and gay liberation; a representative selection of previously unpublished personal testimonies, pamphlets, and articles; and essays which examine the moral and theological issues surrounding current debates.
