This book explains how faith, politics, and fear contribute to the homophobic mindset within the Black Church and the African American community.

• Draws connections between the fanatical homophobia in contemporary black culture to sexual mores developed as a response to the racial discrimination carried out against blacks since the founding of the nation

• Explains how the creation of the Office of Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnership and funds funneled to black churches have encouraged some of the nation's most powerful black religious leaders to dispense hateful rhetoric and malice towards black homosexuals

• Reveals how faith-based funding and the Black Church apply strong pressure on black LGBTs to keep their sexual identity a secret
