Love the sin : sexual regulation and the limits of religious tolerance
"Jakobsen and Pellegrini explore the reasons why secular institutions habitually use religion to regulate sexual life ... illustrate the intensity of America's obsession with sex in the name of values and the dangers it poses to some of our most basic freedoms." "Using a wide range of case studies, Love the Sin offers an insightful critique of the ways in which sexuality in general and homosexuality in particular are discussed and debated in the public arena. Additionally, the book sets forth constructive alternatives that highlight the vital links between sexual and religious freedom and expose the hazards of using religion as a justification for regulating sexuality."--Jacket
