Book Review: Good; but not all the way
Summary: 3 Stars
I didn't know what to expect from this book. When I began to read it, it was nice. Especially the stories of the men were sometimes kind of funny. The best tip of the book was to have a joined calender somewhere, as ridiculous as it may sound. The advice was something you get through expierences. Many things of the "asking for trouble" list I instinctly never did. The interviews make the book. Although I find that the autor pointed out a bit too much on AIDS. Perhaps because this book is written a few year back; although it is a revision.That isn't all ofcourse. The chapter on Money and Insurance is from a capitalistic view. Everyone seems to be rich and has the needs to be wealthy. No communist mentoined there. Very American I suppose.
Secondly the chapter on Religion! The author only discussed Christianity. He gives an example of throwing rice at a ceremony. If he saw the 'Wedding Banquet'(a movie that deals with gay issues) he could have given also the example that in Asia, they let a baby jump on the bed to stimulate fertility. Besides that the chapter doesn't say anything else besides Christian gay spirituality. Many Gay people turned there back on Christanity, because of the negative statements towards gay people. Perhaps America is far away from the Vatican. There are also Gay Pagans, Wicca's, Hindoes, Boeddhists and Shamans. They are all left-out in this book. I found that a bit careless.
On the other hand you can put you or your partner in the shoes of the couples that are interviewed. He also gives a bibliography at the end of each chapter, which I find a strong point. If you're Christian, Gay and Capitalist: this is your book!
