From Glee to gay marriage, from lesbian senators to out gay Marines, we have undoubtedly experienced a seismic shift in attitudes about gays in American politics and culture. Our reigning national story is that a new era of rainbow acceptance is at hand. But dig a bit deeper, and this seemingly brave new gay world is disappointing. For all of the undeniable changes, author Walters argues, the plea for tolerance has sabotaged the full integration of gays into American life. Same-sex marriage is unrecognized and unpopular in the vast majority of states, hate crimes proliferate, and even in the much vaunted "gay friendly" world of Hollywood and celebrity culture, precious few stars are openly gay. She maintains that we are not "almost there," but on the contrary have settled for a watered-down goal of tolerance rather than a robust claim to full civil rights. After all, one "tolerates" unpleasant realities: medicine with strong side effects, a long commute, an annoying relative. Tolerance is not the end goal, but a dead end;.--From publisher description.

How many times have you heard "Your marriage isn't working, because God isn't in it?" That's an understatement because even people who believe in God, fail in their marriages. Some believers think, that despite the reality of a failing situation, praying and fasting would change the outcome. However, one has to know when to quit otherwise, it becomes a Trap in Disguise. In his time of despair, Papoo went to the Bible for answers. Though answers were inspiring, they did not change the reality of his situations. Depending on what he read in the bible, how it was interpreted and applied to his life, made marriage an Experiment In Individuality To The Tune Of One's Tolerance. In this Tell-All Biblical Soap Opera, Papoo takes you on an emotional roller coaster through the Good, Bad and Ugly of his three marriages. His goal is to present real life marriage problems that you can, perhaps, learn from. And to examine biblical accounts of troubled marriages, with hopes of helping you survive the TRAP.
