An unprecedented work from the brilliant young editor of The New Republic--who is celebrated also as an incisive defender of the equality of homosexuals--Virtually Normal is an impassioned, reasoned, subtle, and uncompromising political and moral treatise that will set the terms of the homosexuality debate for the foreseeable future.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
In a dizzyingly short period of time, homosexuality has gone from being the love that dare not speak its name to the one that shouts it. Refreshingly, in this wide-ranging discussion of the moral and political status of homosexuals, Sullivan, the gay former whizbang New Republic editor, prefers the middle register. On the one hand, he shuns the liberal tendency to give gays victim status but, on the other, advocates the legalization of gay marriage because he views it as the public recognition of a gay's basic human right to fully love another member of his/her group -- a right that, Sullivan notes, even bigots generally grant those they hate.
"Virtually Normal is a brilliant and revolutionary book that will transform gay studies." --Camille Paglia, Washington Post Book World
"Groundbreaking. . . . Virtually Normal arrives at an opportune historical moment. . . . One opes that Sullivan's book will be widely read." --Atlanta Journal-Constitution
"Sets a standard for depth and subtlety of argument. . . . Everyone concerned will want to read what he has to say." --Wall Street Journal
