  1. 1. What's Wrong With Homosexuality?

    The book offers a concise, accessible rebuttal to common philosophical, moral, and religious objections to same-sex relationships, examining claims that homosexuality is unnatural, immoral, harmful, or incompatible with marriage and procreation. Using clear analytic arguments, careful distinctions, and a charitable tone, it shows that many objections rest on equivocations, unsupported empirical claims, or questionable premises, while defending equal respect, civil rights, and the legitimacy of loving same-sex relationships. It also models civil dialogue by engaging opposing views respectfully and encouraging readers to reconsider prejudices through reasoned argument.
