Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
To overcome Americans' deep-rooted aversion to gay men and women, psychologist Kirk and ad man Madsen propose a massive media campaign designed to correct stereotypes and neutralize anti-gay prejudice. PW termed this "a punchy call to arms, Madison Avenue style." Illustrated.

I don't like what the book does but it is a great warning about the methods used by many groups.

It was recommended to me by a friend for how interesting a concept it was, and as it being an example of how the advertising industry tries to manipulate how people think and feel. I was hoping it would be written well, as at least one of the authors went to Harvard. Not so much.
Really pricey, and not worth it.
The one interesting chapter is of photographs of some of the campaigns. Wow.

Great read to help understand the LGBTQ thought process. It is not an accurate assessment of how all followers of Christ think but it provides a way for us to begin to dismantle the lies that have plaqued both communities

While most of its "facts" are wrong (homosexuals are about 5% or less of the population, for example, it is VERY good reading if one is trying to understand where things are going from here. From "free love" (promiscuity) to homosexuality (more promiscuity) to "transgenderism and pedophilia (even more promiscuity) the pattern, and justifications, continue to be recycled.

A horrible book by horrible people; and eye-opening
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 20, 2013Verified Purchase
This is a very hard book to read. The authors hate(d?) other people, with a deep, bitter hate that comes through on almost every line. There is nothing too bad to say or do about anyone who does not share their vice. Other people are just "straights", and are to be treated as cattle, to be abused, insulted and manipulated in any way possible.
I doubt that any sane person will be able to read more than a few pages without feeling sick. Few normal people will ever encounter such an attitude of self-centredness, of contempt for right and wrong, and determination to have their own way, to such an extreme degree. Most of us learn better from our mothers.
The interest of the book is that it lays bare the strategy that gay lobbyists were to use, with the connivance and support of the left-wing establishment, to force their values upon a democratic society that regarded them with (evidently well-merited) disgust and distaste. It is basically a manual of how to corrupt a society. It could have been written by Goebbels, who would no doubt have appreciated it. The object in view is nothing; this is all about propaganda.
The methods could only be used by people with no morals or principles whatsoever, of course. But it seems that the mass media is filled with just such people. Once you have read it, you will realise that these methods are being used everywhere.
Scary, horrible, but worth being aware of.

This book displays the talent of two marketing gurus who strategized to sell the American culture an acceptance of homosexuality as a new norm.

Very Informative

A very informative book. It was boldly presented and did not pull any punches. A very clear strategy is laid out and presented.
