Description

Gregory A. Prince's avocation in history has led him to write dozens of articles and three books, including the award-winning volumes David O. McKay and the Rise of Modern Mormonism (coauthored with Wm. Robert Wright) and Leonard Arrington and the Writing of Mormon History.

"This is a complicated story, involving tangled legal issues and intricate political maneuvering. Prince is always aware of how the political and the legal affected actual lives. The story is fast-paced and engaging." -Richard Lyman Bushman is Gouverneur Morris Professor Emeritus of History at Columbia University and author of Joseph Smith: Rough Stone Rolling "A meticulous documentation. Prince's survey of Mormon pronouncements on LGBT issues appears to have left no stone unturned."-Val Holley, author of 25th Street Confidential: Drama, Decadence, and Dissipation along Ogden's Rowdiest Road "This is a book everyone has been waiting for. To have all of this information in one place-information which has previously been tucked away here and there in random internet document leaks and blog posts-is truly, truly valuable." -Joanna Brooks, author of The Book of Mormon Girl: A Memoir of an American Faith and coeditor of Decolonizing Mormonism: Approaching a Postcolonial Zion "Offers important materials and timelines for the Church's involvement in LGBTQ issues and pro-vides an important outline of events, along with references to important documents that allow the reader to dive deeper into the subject." -BYU Studies Quarterly "This is an important book in the constant, complicated, and dynamic dialogue regarding homosexuality and modern Mormonism. Further, this compendium of 'actions' and 'consequences' will be immensely useful in the discussions yet to come." -Dialogue
