I was already very open minded about equal rights. But after reading the stories from the people that Lars meets on his journey, I can't imagine it any other way.

Lars is an excellent writer and his stories really bring out the humanity (good and bad) in people. I highly recommend this book.

I'm a straight female who has gay male friends and in efforts to understand I bought this book. I struggle with parents claiming to be "good christians" only to see how they react when their child tells them he or she is a homosexual, a "good christian" accepts you for who you are, regardless of your sexual orientation, skin color, or heritage. It's sad to think that the Evangelicals are so hypocritical. It's a shame that people just can accept others, imagine how boring this world would be if we were all the same. It's great, I had a hard time putting it down. I cried and shared the parts I cried over with my gay friends. It's my feeling that God created us to be different, that's why we have hope. And it's that hope that encourages us to change and strive for equality.
