In 2003, Gene Robinson, a bishop in the New Hampshire diocese of the Episcopal Church, became the first openly gay Anglican bishop. After 10 years with the New Hampshire diocese, Bishop Robinson will retire in January.
He reflects on the difficulties he faced growing up as a gay man in the religious community and explains the motive for his book saying, "I'm attempting in this book, in some sense, to give a script to those people who want to support us...When heterosexual people join us we will really make progress in terms of our laws, and in terms of the treatment of LGBT people."
Callie Crossley spoke with Gene Robinson on Boston Public Radio about his new book, " God Believes in Love: Straight Talk about Gay Marriage." Catch him at the Harvard Book Store on 9/21 at 6 P.M.
