Forty years ago, most Americans said they didn't know anyone who was homosexual and claimed to know little or nothing about homosexuality. A Queer Thing Happened to America chronicles the amazing transformation of America over the last 40 years, and addresses the question head-on: Is there really a gay agenda, or is it a fiction of the religious right? This could easily be the most controversial book of the decade.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Dr. Brown has written the most important book on what I have come to believe is the top social issue and among the most important spiritual issues of our time." Eric Holmberg, The Apologetics Group


"A Queer Thing happened to America is a very, very important book. It is no exaggeration to say it should be required reading for everyone who cares about the future of their family and of our civilization." J Davies, Anglican Mainstream

"All in all, this book is a devastating rebuttal of the homosexualist agenda. . . . It is one long volume allowing the other side to speak for itself, condemning itself in the process." Bill Muehlenberg, Culture Watch

"I have read Dr. Michael Brown's book and find it both persuasive and alarming. It is crucial to wake up before our liberty is lost. Dr. Brown's book is a clarion call." Daniel Juster, Th. D., Director, Tikkun International

From the Inside Flap

A Queer Thing Happened to America chronicles the dramatic cultural changes that have taken place in our country in relation to homosexuality and pointedly asks the question: Are we heading in the right direction? Written in a lively and compelling style and at the same time backed with massive research, this forthright and yet compassionate study evaluates the extraordinary impact gay activism has had on our society, from elementary schools to college campuses, from the press to the courts, and from the world of business to the world of religion.

Forty years ago, most Americans said they didn't know anyone who was gay or lesbian and claimed to know little or nothing about homosexuality. Today, there's hardly a sitcom without a prominent gay character, gay-themed movies have won Oscars, the media celebrates the marriages of same-sex celebrities, elementary school textbooks indoctrinate children with gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender ideology, many churches and synagogues now ordain gay clergy - and one of our elected officials is a man with cleavage who often wears a dress and high heels to work. In the courts, religious rights are consistently losing the battle to gay rights, while university students have been expelled from their programs for refusing to endorse homosexual practice.

We have come to a point in our history in which it is common for the mainstream media to portray someone as intolerant and bigoted if they fail to affirm (or even celebrate) homosexuality and transgenderism, and we now find ourselves with little opportunity for constructive, honest dialogue or even the right to put forth a differing opinion. That's why the publishing world was afraid to touch this book, and that's why A Queer Thing Happened to America could be the most controversial book of the decade.

    5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great book if you want to know what gay activists ...
    Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    This is a great book if you want to know what gay activists and their supporters have been up to for the past 45 years. Since the book was published the Supreme Court, with the support of President Obama, voted 5 to 4 to redefine marriage on a federal level to include same sex unions; the Pentagon is moving to lift a ban prohibiting transgenders from serving in the military; and former Olympic decathlete Bruce Jenner is being celebrated for “transitioning” into a woman named Caitlyn.

    I find it intriguing that such a small percentage of the population (around 3% according to the book) has so much power. Dr. Brown gives example after example of how gay reprogramming has become increasingly prevalent now thanks to proactive support from the media, Hollywood, and our government. It has infiltrated our educational system, our businesses and even our churches. I can’t help but wonder if this small LGBT minority is getting supernatural help from a demonic principality.

    It appears that most of the 97% that are not part of the LGBT community don’t seem interested in trying to stop this systematic offensive against traditional values and biblical morality either because they don’t have a problem with their agenda, they don’t care, or they just want to live their own lives and not get involved. And for those who are unwilling to celebrate LGBT diversity or who dare to speak out against their agenda the retaliation is often vindictive and brutal, sadly.

    I’ve been a Christian for 30 years now. Before that I was heavily involved in the gay community for 10 years. I have experienced firsthand many of the scenarios Dr. Brown describes in his book. Events like parades, conferences, entertainment programs, sporting events, bowling leagues, and even church in the hands of the LGBT community become venues to worship their diverse sexuality and explore avenues of diverse sexual expression. So I am inclined to disagree with gay activists who want us to believe that members of the LGBT community are just as normal as heterosexuals in every way except for their sexual orientation. From my experience that is simply not true. Obsession with sex and sexual identity reigns supreme in the LGBT community. Of course there are always exceptions to the rule, but there is no denying the rule.

    This is definitely a book that should be read by as many Christians as possible. The church needs to learn how to respond to this issue with Christ’s love and without compromising God’s truth. Dr. Brown’s book is a wakeup call that needs to be heeded because it effectively exposes this insidious darkness that is spreading not only throughout America but across the globe. Sadly the church may very well be the last bastion to stand against the onslaught of the LGBT agenda so I think it’s crucial that Christians do not bury their heads in the sand. Edmond Burke said “All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.” So I think it’s important that we not be afraid to share what we believe to be God’s truth regarding homosexual behavior whenever opportunities present themselves. Might there be repercussions? Possibly. But if the church is indeed the last line of defense and we choose to sit back and do nothing out of fear of vilification or worse from the LGBT community, then we are in essence handing them the victory.

    Paul said in Eph 6:12, “. . . our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” If the LGBT agenda is indeed being empowered by a demonic principality it seems to me that the Body of Christ should be fervently praying and asking God to shine His light into this dark storm so that many LGBT folks might ultimately be able to see God’s truth and yes, even get saved.

    It’s also important to remember that God doesn’t hate anyone for being homosexual even though he totally put the kibosh on homosex. The church needs to become a safe place for LGBT folks who want to explore options other than acquiescence to their sexual orientation. For LGBT folks who decide to give God a try the Body of Christ needs to welcome them and walk alongside them as they get to know the Lord and work through their emotional and sexual issues. And it will undoubtedly get messy from time to time but we can’t give up on these folks simply because things might get a bit challenging!

    And whether or not God ultimately changes their (or my) sexual orientation is immaterial. If we choose to serve Jesus rather than ourselves He will not only show us how to live with our homosexuality in a way that glorifies God, but also thrive as valuable members of the Body of Christ. Will it be a difficult journey? Will there be failures? These are, of course, rhetorical questions! But Paul encourages all followers of Christ to keep running the race and trust God no matter how challenging things get. After all, our ultimate reward for staying true to Jesus is in heaven, not here on earth.

    Thank you, Dr. Brown, for the immense amount of time and energy you put into researching, writing and publishing this valuable book. It truly is a labor of love.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Book of the year
    Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2011
    Verified Purchase
    The fact that this book almost did not get published may be the most telling aspect of this volume. One publisher after another refused to have anything to do with this book. This simply shows the enormous power the militant homosexual lobby now exercises.

    The simple truth is, they have effectively imposed an iron curtain of censorship, intimidating and bullying anyone who dares to question their radical agenda. Thus those voices that are willing to stand up and speak truth are few and far between.

    Michael Brown is one such voice, and he has done us all an inestimable service by persevering with this book. It is the first major book on this topic to appear for some years now. It is a very thorough, well-researched and well-documented volume which covers most of the bases.

    Totalling nearly 700 pages (with nearly 100 of those pages devoted to endnotes), this volume is a careful and detailed examination of the homosexual agenda and the threat it poses to faith, family and freedom. In 15 meaty chapters all the important issues and debates are covered.

    In addition to covering all the usual topics (eg., the unhealthy lifestyle of homosexuals, myths about discrimination, `I was born that way' arguments, and so on), he especially highlights how very successful this relatively tiny activist movement has been in implementing its agenda, and silencing any critics along the way.

    For example, he has a whole chapter on how effectively these militants have played the `hate' card. They have managed to convince almost everyone that to even dare to take a different line on this topic is to be guilty of `hate speech' and `hate crimes'.

    Thus they have forced most concerned citizens into silence, for fear of being accused of `homophobia,' intolerance, and the like. And all around the Western world activist judges are implementing this strategy by enacting `hate speech' laws.

    As a result, homosexuality is now the world's first politically protected lifestyle. Brown documents case after case where those who seek to challenge the militant activists are intimidated, bullied and threatened into silence, if not acceptance.

    He also examines how the mainstream media has become almost fully homosexualised, and is now continuously in the service of the homosexual activists. Whether it is film, or television, or music videos, or what have you, the media is saturated with pro-homosexual imagery, messages and propaganda.

    The same with our schools. Not just our universities, but all education, starting with kindergarten on up, is being aggressively targeted by the activists. There are very few schools that are safe today; most are being exposed to the radical agenda of the activists, and often parents have no say in the matter.

    Brown also looks at the issue of ex-gays, something which the activists hate above all else. If they can show that homosexuality is an in-built, immutable condition, then they have a much stronger leg to stand on to promote their radical social agenda. But if homosexuals can and do change, then their whole case is blown out of the water.

    He looks at the evidence for genuine change, citing plenty of studies along the way. And he documents how science and social science research has been hijacked by the activists, so that those daring to offer a contrary view are threatened, censored, or hounded out of their jobs.

    As an Old Testament scholar Brown is well-placed to deal with the issue of theological revisionism. An entire growth industry has emerged by homosexual activists who seek to rewrite the Bible and theology to suit their agenda. Brown examines the usual Scripture-twisting here and ably refutes the bent theology.

    He carefully examines the biblical texts on this issue, demonstrating that the revisionists are completely off base here. The Scriptural testimony from Genesis to Revelation is absolutely clear on the sin of homosexuality, and no amount of Scripture-twisting and theology-trashing can change that fact.

    All in all, this book is a devastating rebuttal of the homosexualist agenda. It is filled with many hundreds of quotations from the homosexual press, from homosexual activists, and from reputable medical and scientific journals. It is one long volume allowing the other side to speak for itself, condemning itself in the process.

    There are very few people who are still qualified to write a book like this today. One needs to be a careful scholar, a person of courage and conviction, aware of social trends and movements, filled with God's love and compassion, and dedicated to telling truth in the public arena, even when it is very costly to do so.

    Fortunately Michael Brown fully meets these qualifications. Thus his new book can be recommended without reservation. It deserves the very widest hearing. Well done Dr Brown.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 20, 2015

    As a very new christian who previously lived the same free and easy lifestyle (but in the heterosexual sphere) that our culture dictates that we must, this topic wasn't one which I'd given a huge amount of thought to.

    I guessed there was a certain amount of 'homophobia' in the world, mainly with regard to people attacking homosexuals physically for non-religious reasons - and indeed there can be, Russia is one good example (or one bad example) unfortunately - but those who objected to homosexuality for biblical reasons were somehow beyond the pale, just a handful of rightwing nutjobs who didn't represent the mainstream of christianity.

    This is no doubt due in part to the time and place I grew up in - in England we even had a gay cohabiting village vicar way back in the late 1980s and there wasn't much more than a little bit of gossip about it - so I have been having to brace myself for biblical truths on the issue and the fact that our culture has departed about as far from that is is possible on this (and other) issues.

    So, from this persepctive Brown's book is an excellent introduction to the state of things - he's writing about the US but the only difference between it and Europe is the US is, for once, 'behind' the UK and Europe by a few years - in any case he refers to Britain, Canada and some other countries as well as the States.

    There are no real drawbacks I can think of except a) you need to be approaching it reflectively, even prayerfully, rather than reading just for 'oh my goodness I had no idea they did stuff like that' titilation - I know because I've done this myself sometimes and b) Brown's style would have had some slight adjustments if edited the book - a few too many rhetorical questions for my liking. But these are only side issues so it still gets 5 stars from me.

    I've just finished reading this book. I can't exactly say I enjoyed it - it's too disturbing and much of it far too distasteful for that,- but it's compelling. It's also hard to see how anyone could take issue with such a meticulously documented piece of research, and the fact that it was so difficult for the author to get it published at all is remarkably telling.
    Michael Brown has done our society a service by daring to lay all this bare, and it's fervently to be hoped that the word will get out, and reach as wide a public as possible.
    Here's one reflection: If anyone thinks that in the contemporary moral maze unaided human reason is a trustworthy and sufficient guide,.. this book should be enough to undeceive him. Here in example after gobsmacking example, you can see truth and logic turned barefacedly upside down.
    And here's one prediction. The gay mainstream will begin to denounce the sorts of indecencies documented here, and in doing so achieve a whole new level of normalisation.

    Extensively and scrupulously documented, this is a devastating expose of the stealth agenda of homosexual advocates, all the more telling, because of its gentle and sympathetic style and his method of allowing extensive, contextual citation of pro-gay literature speak eloquently for itself.

    Brown repeatedly demonstrates the rank hypocrisy of public spokesmen and women who whilst claiming to be victims of hate in response to mild and moderate reproofs pour out the most exaggerated and misplaced vitriol.

    This is a book that will leave no reader, whatever his or her background, unchallenged or undisturbed. It is rigorously careful to maintain accuracy.

    Great to rebalance the liberal nonsense shoved down our throats. As a parent of senior school children I am increasingly astonished at the propaganda being pushed on to them. I am on the verge of home educating as the State is gradually losing grip of any moral compass. Children should be left to be children and not subjected to transgender or homosexual propaganda. Sure thing gays exist, but they are 1% of the population. The way the LGBT lobby go on you would think they are 90%. Wake up people there is a corrosive force present in modern life and we need to resist it.
