This book should be distributed to churches the way Gideon Bible's are to hotels. I first learned of this book when Mitchell Gold was interview on Charlie Rose (an interview everyone should definitely check out at charlierose.com). The diverse and intriguing cast of subjects is excellent. No matter what walk of life you come from, you can identify with at least one of these stories, even if you are completely unaware of or unfamiliar with anyone in the LGBT community.

An eye-opening read, even for someone who considers themselves as open-minded and tolerant as I do; these stories raise issues that the average heterosexual person does not even begin to consider as part of the struggle for acceptance and equal rights.

This book both pissed me off because of the way people in the LGBT community both then and now were and are treated AND moved me to want to be even more a part of the cause, as a straight ally. These forty stories need to be retold over and over again, so those persecuting people in the LGBT community, can hear what harm they have and continue to cause. This is a great book for everyone to read.
