      ""I intend to be among the first generation that survives this disease." That was former New Republic editor Andrew Sullivan's first public statement about his HIV diagnosis. Speaking to heterosexual and homosexual audiences alike, this book is about the first steps in that journey of survival." "In a memoir in the form of three essays, Sullivan asks hard questions about his own life and others'. Can the practice of friendship ever compensate for a life without love? Is sex at war or at peace with spirituality? Can faith endure the randomness of death? Is homosexuality genetic or environmental?" "In a work destined to be controversial, Sullivan takes on religious authorities and gay activists; talks candidly about his own promiscuity and search for love; revisits Freud in the origins of homosexuality; and makes one of the more memorable modern cases for elevating the virtue of friendship over the satisfactions of love."--Jacket

      Kein Thema hat das zeitgenössische Amerika so heftig gespalten wie die Homosexualität. Andrew Sullivan, der ehemalige Herausgeber von The New Republic, stellt in diesem bahnbrechenden Buch sowohl Vernunft als auch Menschlichkeit in die Diskussion darüber, wie eine überwiegend heterosexuelle Gesellschaft mit ihren homosexuellen Bürgern umgehen sollte. Mit Mitgefühl und gleichzeitig unermüdlich bewertet Sullivan die vorherrschenden öffentlichen Positionen zur Homosexualität – von prohibitiv bis befreiend und von konservativ bis liberal. Anstelle dieser Positionen fordert er eine Politik der Homosexualität, die die Rechte von Schwulen und Lesben garantiert, ohne Toleranz aufzuzwingen. Virtually Normal ist sowohl zutiefst persönlich als auch einwandfrei begründet, elegant und witzig geschrieben und wird Leser aller Überzeugungen herausfordern; kein Buch wird unsere sexuelle Politik in den kommenden Jahrzehnten eher transformieren.
