Winner of the ACLU'S National Civil Liberties Award, the Rev. Dr. Mel White has served the Christian community for thirty years as a pastor, professor, author, filmmaker, and ghost writer to some of the nation's most powerful religious figures. After a thirty year struggle to "overcome his homosexuality" through various "therapies" from exorcism to electric shock, Dr. White finally accepted his sexual orientation as "a gift from God." In writing his best-selling autobiography, Stranger at the Gate: to be Gay and Christian in America, Dr. White came out of his closet to bring hope and healing to his GLBTQ sisters and brothers and to begin his own justice ministry on their behalf. With Gary Nixon, his partner (husband) since 1984, he co-founded Soulforce, a network of volunteers across the U.S. using the tools of nonviolence to help end religion-based oppression. See less

Not surprisingly, since the author is an ordained evangelical Christian minister, this book is a little preachy. Nevertheless, it is a moving account of his ongoing struggle with his native wiring ... Read More
I first heard of Mel White when he joined Amazing Race with his son this season. I became curious about him since he was a fundamental preacher. I read his Religion Gone Bad as well as this one. ... Read More
