"After decades of bouncing between hope and despair, Evangelical,
Baptist-raised Julie Rodgers found herself making a powerful public
statement that her former self would have never said: ""I support
same-sex marriage in the church."" When Rodgers came out to her
family as a junior in high school, she still believed that God
would sanctify her and eventually make her straight. Wanting so
intensely to be good, she spent her adolescent and early adult
years with an ex-gay ministry, praying for liberation from her
homosexuality. In Outlove Rodgers details her deeply personal
journey from a life of self-denial in the name of faith to her role
in leading the take-down of Exodus International, the largest
ex-gay organization in the world, to her marriage to a woman at the
Washington National Cathedral. Through one woman's intimate story,
we see the larger story of why many have left conservative
religious structures in order to claim their truest identity.
Outlove is about love and losses, political and religious
power-plays, and the cost to those who sought to stay in a faith
community that wouldn't accept this. Shedding light on the debate
between Evangelical Christians and the LGBTQ community--a battle
that continues to rage on in the national news and in courtrooms
across the country--this book ultimately casts a hopeful vision for
how the church can heal."
