The generational and social thinking changes that caused an unprecedented shift toward support for gay marriage How did gay marriage—something unimaginable two decades ago—come to feel inevitable to even its staunchest opponents? Drawing on over 95 interviews with two generations of Americans, as well as historical analysis and public opinion data, Peter Hart-Brinson argues that a fundamental shift in our understanding of homosexuality sparked the generational change that fueled gay marriage’s unprecedented rise. Hart-Brinson shows that the LGBTQ movement’s evolution and tactical responses to oppression caused Americans to reimagine what it means to be gay and what gay marriage would mean to society at large. While older generations grew up imagining gays and lesbians in terms of their behavior, younger generations came to understand them in terms of their identity. Over time, as the older generation and their ideas slowly passed away, they were replaced by a new generational culture that brought gay marriage to all fifty states. Through revealing interviews, Hart-Brinson explores how different age groups embrace, resist, and create society’s changing ideas about gay marriage. Religion, race, contact with gay people, and the power of love are all topics that weave in and out of these fascinating accounts, sometimes influencing opinions in surprising ways. The book captures a wide range of voices from diverse social backgrounds at a critical moment in the culture wars, right before the turn of the tide. The story of gay marriage’s rapid ascent offers profound insights about how the continuous remaking of the population through birth and death, mixed with our personal, biographical experiences of our shared history and culture, produces a society that is continually in flux and constantly reinventing itself anew. An intimate portrait of social change with national implications, The Gay Marriage Generation is a significant contribution to our understanding of what causes generational change and how gay marriage became the reality in the United States.

Описание: Writing poetry about my life began as I watched a tennis match. It was January of 2018. Maybe it was the quickness of the players as they moved around the court. Maybe it was a signal going to my brain that I need to place more focus on being fit. It could have been my subconscious telling me that I am much older but that I have not come to grips with this fact. All I know is that words began to flood my mind. I grabbed paper and a pen to jot down my thoughts. My feelings were erupting; I had no idea why I felt the need to bare any part of what was going on in my life.These words were all about age. The spark inside of me was so real. My youthfulness was fading away. While I felt young in my heart and mind, my physical self was not the same. I had changed; it was then that I was able to connect with my aging self.When I completed the poem, The Magic of Living, my niece and I talked about trees. It was her idea that led me on a trip to South Carolina in search of an Angel Oak tree. It was on John's Island where I found this grand tree. This tree is so full of life. I just stood there and admired its beauty and longevity. My eyes moved up, down and around this tree. The branches and roots went on and on. It took my breath away. As I looked at that tree, the words in my poem became more meaningful to me.

Описание: For any seasoned follower of Christ, there can be no greater call than the call to pray. Looking at those who were closest to Christ as our example, you will not find them in scripture asking Him to teach them how to heal someone or how to perform a miracle, but you will find them asking Him to teach them to pray. They more than anyone else understood that the power Jesus walked in while He was walking on earth was clearly connected to His prayer life. Thankfully, Jesus wants us to have that same type of prayer life ourselves, and thankfully you are holding a manual written for such a time as this, to help us understand the Why, What, and How of having an effective prayer life. Peggy Brinson is more than just a Prayer Warrior; she is truly a "Prayer Spy" serving in the service of our King to not only deliver the plans of the King but to uncover the plans of the enemy. I encourage you to read this book with a pen and journal in hand as God will surely give you the key to understanding your prayer platform. Don Newman Director of Acquisitions Salem Author Services
