UNFAIR combines three things: testimonies sent into John’s blog from gay people from all walks of life who, despite every possible discouragement, continue to claim their Christianity; John’s own writings on the relationship between LGBT people and Christians, which have been central to the ongoing national debate on this issue; and, “Taking God at His Word: The Bible and Homosexuality,” which presents a definitive, comprehensive, and irrefutable argument for the case that using the Bible as the basis for condemning “unrepentant” gay people is not only unscriptural, but immoral.
About UNFAIR, Dan Savage writes:
“The touching, brave, and frequently heartbreaking letters in ‘UNFAIR’ should be required reading for any Christian who claims that gay people can’t also be Christians–and for LGBT people who feel there’s some conflict between their sexual orientations or gender identities and their faith. John Shore is sharp, he’s funny, and he’s right. To find out why I’ve called him America’s preeminent non-douchey Christian, buy and read this book. And I challenge anyone who believes that the Bible justifies the persecution of their gay and lesbian neighbors–particularly those on the religious right who’ve made lucrative careers for themselves out of bearing false witness against their gay and lesbian neighbors–to read this book’s concluding essay, ‘Taking God at His Word: The Bible and Homosexuality.’ Read John with an open mind and he’ll change yours.”

John, you sum up everything I believe. If only the world had more folk like you, fanatics in all forms would never win.
oh yeah, baby!
John is this available in Canada?
I was trying to find it at Chapters/Indigo in Canada too, but, it wasn’t there. Canada NEEDS this right now John.
No, the book isn’t for sale in bookstores, but only online and directly from me (because I’ve published it myself). And yes, I ship to Canada.
Dear John:
I am a Christian and a school teacher in the public school system where I encounter staff and students with all different orientations (sexually, politically, you name it). The facts that the Lord Jesus states, when it comes to entering heaven is: straight and narrow is the path to righteousness and few be there that find it.” He also stated that, “the Son of Man came not to condemn the world but that the world through him might be saved.” He lovingly told the woman caught in adultery, “go and sin no more.” No matter what way one comes to Jesus, all people need to repent and seek the Lord’s forgiveness. Sometimes, repentance means deliverance from a lifestyle a person thinks they were born with. That is why, “ye must be born again.” (John 3:3)
Jacqueline,
Did you read the book? Most of us here can spew back what we’ve heard from our pastors regarding homosexuality. That does not mean that the spewage is correct.
The line, “Sometimes, repentance means deliverance from a lifestyle a person thinks they were born with,” is just downright rude, since it is obvious that you are referring to gay people, as opposed to sinners or other bad folks.
Why not hang around and read John’s blog, and maybe read the book. Then get yourself some gay friends and family members and then shoot us another comment.

Love your insight, John. As always, thanks.
