I am finally sitting down to read Prayers for Bobby, a book recommended to me by one of our UIC students. This book is all the more poignant for me now because we are gearing up for a counter-celebration next Monday when the anti-gay (anti-everything) group Westboro Baptist Church comes to visit. I have only read through the introduction of the book, but one paragraph already struck me.
Leroy Aarons writes about a California family, the Griffiths, who lost their gay son to suicide.
