We must resist indeed,the book offers a Compact yet very concise and informative approach as well as talking points and replies to those who stubbornly refuse Not just Morality but Natural Law.Not only should TheoCon(TheoConservative such as myself/Morally Conservative) but Civil Libertarians and FiscalOnlyStyle Conservatives and even those who will disagree with the book,Some will accuse and throw the usual ad verbatim,Mongering,Fear,and the ugly word itself:bigotry which is all utter nonsense.It is a Sin,always has been not matter what a reformist sect might say,There are some disturbing things in here such as Mr.Hay who basically started it all in some respects with NeoPagan and Occultist ties not to mention marxistovertones..despite being born and raised a catholic,he had his first "experience" at 14 with a man twice his age(which would explain his endorsement of Nambla in the 80s),founder of the mattine society which had ties to the CPUSA and hollywood radicals and liberals,there is denying the influence on the movement as a whole.You will also learn some of the new yet ever-changing tactics of trying to win over not just the public's heart but infusing into mass media "the message".Myself Personally I echo the same as the book in the very beginning points out, I vehemently oppose it in a peaceful civil and legal manner and from a Moral standpoint and If I was a Darwinist or other I would oppose it from a Point of violating Natural Law.Please read the book before you "Bash" it.

Excellent, through and through. Couldn't put it down. Solid scientific arguments together with fluid writing style add up to a blockbuster... A friend I gave the book to later told me he was still up at 1AM reading it and didn't want to stop. The book is chock full of persuasive arguments showing how homosexuality is not genetic, and how many people who used to be homosexual have been able to be free of unwanted same-sex attractions through specialized therapy. I've met some of these people who are now happily married with children. Get this book!

Before reading this book, I wasn't sure if the homosexual movement was a spontaneous reaction or a calculated and gradual process of selling homosexuality to mainstream America. Now I know better. "Defending a Higher Law" shows the origins of the homosexual movement, starting with Harry Hay and a handful of committed homosexuals who pushed their agenda with painstaking care to desensitize the public to homosexuality. The book makes this very clear. Since the homosexual revolution could not stand alone, it was ushered in by the media, liberal academia and lax clergy. Also, the sexual revolution of the 60s and 70s were stepping stones in this process.

This book deals with the sentimental notions about homosexuality which circulate today. In a calm narrative style, it offers the facts about the truly devastating effects of homosexuality on people and society. It also also offers hope to homosexuals who want help in overcoming their problems.

The question and answer format in the chapter on prevalent misconceptions about homosexuality is very helpful. I think this part of the book is ideal for college students and teachers alike.

Easy reading too.

"Defending a Higher Law" is one of the few texts available that gives some coherent,and unprejudiced,arguments against same-sex marriage. It also sheds some light on the late activist Harry Hay and his homoerotic/androgynous mysticism. It also makes some connections with Communism (since this is from the Tradition/Family/Property Committee) Agree or disagree, it has better writing than the latest Dr. James Dobson screed,or the pro-Prop.8 booklets scattered around California.

"Defending" makes basic arguments about male/female complementarity,child upbringing,and the importance of matter. However,it does overlook that yes,straight married people do the same things in bed that gay people do. It also overlooks-as conservative texts normally do--lesbians. As usual,it focuses on the dangers of gay male sex-one assumes lesbians are Vestal Virgins. The argument against gay male sex could be best reduced to-promiscuity is bad,and that applies to gays and straights.

"Defending" has its strongest section discussing Harry Hay and the Radical Faeries. It explores homoerotic spirituality/mysticism,and takes it seriously. It's an irony,considering that neopagans tend to focus on the union of the Goddess&the God. Androgynous spirituality is the new Gnosticism.

"Defending" is useful in explaining the passing of Prop.8,and the amendments in Florida and Arizona. It sheds light on an emotional controversy.

The recent victories of the homosexual movement in America, and their illegal actions in San Francisco, New York, and other places was a real wakeup call for me. In looking for good argumentation against same-sex "marriage", I came across this book, "Defending a Higher Law." Thoroughly researched and from a Catholic perspective, it is by far the most complete analysis of the current crisis afflicting America, approaching the homosexual revolution from a moral, scientific, and historical angle. A must read for anyone interested in fighting the homosexual revolution and preserving the family and the sanctity of marriage -- very worth while.

Now, I come from a varied perspective. Some of my family suffers from this disorder. One of my best friends is lesbian. How could I ever be against the "personal choice" or :predetermined nature" of another? Well, I realized, after coming back to the Church, that choices can be misguided, and indeed, go against natural law. As far as genetic pre-determinants are concerned, there is no biological proof for this. I wish I read this book before I wrote my philosophy paper

Nevertheless, this book was the most concise, systematic, and powerful work I have ever read on this topic. It is a book that every psychologist and priest in the world should have sitting on their shelf, hopefully after it was read. It presents cogent, medical, psychological, theological, and biological evidence that the arguments that the homosexual activist groups present is, at best, misinformation, and at worst, a strategically planned propaganda campaign to spread error. Don't plan on reading politically correct jargon in this book. Don't plan on reading hate-speech either. This is not a fundamentalist tirade against the laundry list of "the worlds sins"... This is simply a focused and narrow approach to specific arguments, treated with in depth analysis, as it dismantles their arguments, piece by piece. This book is highly recommended.

God Bless,

some fo the most ignorant arguments you'll ever hear in your life. If you want to explain to god why you didn't love all of creation make sure you have this book with you when you get there. As a philosophy major and licensed therapist i have to say, truly ignorant.

There are so many problems with this book I don't know where to begin. First, the author, a member of the American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property, makes it clear from the outset that he is writing from a religious perspective, and not a scientific one. Throughout the book he disregards real science for junk science, which eradicates all credibility when it comes to his arguments. Second,the author makes analogies between human behaviors and animal behaviors that simply don't add up. Regarding instinctive behaviors in animals, he equates filicide and cannibalism with homosexuality, ignoring the fact that the first two behaviors do not occur that often and when they do occur it is under very specific circumstances. Homosexuality in animals, on the other hand, occurs on a regular basis in over 500 species and with some animals, such as elephants, it seems to be the most common form of sexual expression. Comparing filicide and cannibalism to homosexuality in animals is as ridiculous as comparing rape and murder to homosexuality in humans. Thirdly,the author can't seem to come to terms with the fact that we humans are animals. He constantly rambles on about the differences between humans and other animals, while ignoring the more abundant similarities. This line of thinking represents a bias that eliminates any opportunity for reaching rational, objective scientific conclusions. There are many other problems with this book but I just don't want to bother with them; the book isn't worth the effort. To be perfectly blunt, this is one big misinformed mess and should be avoided at all costs.

Aren't there real problems out there you could be tackling? If you need a book to explain to you why you're against homosexuality, what does that say about you? Here's someone making money exploiting irrational fears instilled in people too traumatized by the fairy tales they've been fed to know better. Wake up, people!
