The Great Gatsby tells us the world is an empty place without faith. If anti-gay people truly believe that being gay is a sin or abnormal, what then? How long would our legacy endure?

The world is a feat of engineering. €�To remain oriented in a complex world, our brains constantly make and revise maps of our surroundings.

I plucked this book from the stack of Advanced Readers Copies that flood the store, read the first page, and then read the book straight through exclaiming to anyone who would tolerate me -- listen to this, and this, and this!
