Virtually normal

An Argument About Homosexuality
Book • 1995
In 'Virtually Normal: An Argument About Homosexuality,' Andrew Sullivan presents a comprehensive and nuanced discussion on the politics of homosexuality.

The book critiques four main perspectives on homosexuality: the 'Prohibitionist,' 'Liberationist,' 'Conservative,' and 'Liberal' views.

Sullivan argues for the recognition of gay rights, including the legal acknowledgment of same-sex marriages, and advocates for a laissez-faire liberal approach that respects individual liberty and freedom.

The book is praised for its lucid and engaging argumentation, and its ability to contribute significantly to the debate on gay rights and societal integration of the gay community.
