A Letter to a Friend was written in 1999 by Doug Cooper to his then
boyfriend, Gregory Spencer, a year into their relationship. It was
during a time when Gregory, having just come out to his family, was
being pressured by some family members to reconsider his decision
to live as a gay man. What began as a personal letter to Gregory
eventually became a manifesto against homophobia and a declaration
of liberation from homophobia. Giving thought to homophobic tropes
and devices such as the idea of God's condemnation of
homosexuality, and the view that declares homosexuality as
unnatural, A Letter to a Friend challenges those worn ways of
thinking with fresh ideas. A Letter to a Friend offers words and
thoughts for anyone who wishes to break the bonds of homophobia, be
they same-gender loving, or those who simply are brave enough to
take a fresh look at old ideas. A Letter to a Friend implores all
of us to take another look at ways of thinking that have held many
captive to oppression and bigotry and to move to a spirit that
seeks to realize a self-actualized spirit anchored in love.
