description: The main essay in this book, A Freethinker's Primer of Male Love, is a celebration and defence of male love from a secular humanist perspective. Its leading Male love is good; the opprobrium suffered by gay men is a product of Judeo-Christian superstition. A companion essay, Paradigms For Gay Liberation, recounts the ideas that have informed the movement. The author analyzes how the present-day movement has lost its bearings, and he indicates a way out of the thicket. There are eight Male Beauty, The Golden Legend, Gay Christian Revisionism, Pluralistic Ignorance, Freethought, Circumcision of the Spirit, The Aster Epigrams of Plato, and A Pagan Prayer. An annotated Bibliography provides guidance for further reading.
