A new crusade is being launched in North America, one which tries to salvage old beliefs and traditions categorized as moral values which are heavily imbued with Christian theology. The ideals espoused by conservative groups tend to be discriminatory toward the homosexual person. This book explores the discourse that one of the branches of Christianity, the Catholic Church, uses to discriminate homosexuals in a North American context and the impact the institution has on the political acceptance of gays in The United States, Canada, and Mexico.
