Here is the description of still another wonderful book in the same catalog:For two thousand years, Christianity has been wrong about sex. To this day Christians grapple with defining gender, sexism, heterosexism, and what constitutes healthy sex. Miguel A. De La Torre--noted ethicist and scholar on the intersection of religion with race, class, gender, and sexuality--shines new light on these intimate issues in Liberating Sexuality, a provocative compilation of his writings that apply justice to the most private parts of our lives. Grounded in biblical scholarship, Liberating Sexuality will help you discover new ways of thinking about God beyond gender, heterosexism, masturbation, and many other topics. Wrestle with controversial topics such as an androgynous Jesus, ethical S&M, and confronting racism in one's sexual preference. Gain a critical understanding of how others view their own sexuality in ways you could never before comprehend.

confronting racism in one's sexual preference.

In the school where I taught, nothing got the black boys laid more often than accusing a white girl of being racist. They took great pleasure in the fact that they could get other white girls to use the accusation to guilt them into it, as well.

I wish this were true. I don't want government involved in the sex lives of consenting adults. I also don't want to hear about anyone's sex life. Demanding that I openly celebrate some pervert's sex life is the exact opposite of recognizing it as the most private part of a person's life.
