From the Foreword: Shawn's rich and profound passion for God has garnered him much praise, and believe it or not, criticism... many of Shawn's critics come from within the gay community itself. Why? Because Shawn is either 'not gay enough' or because he is 'too Christian.' (Brian K. Ladd)From the Afterword: This is not a book on why you should think the way I do...I only ask to be welcome at the table of ideas and expression. I have written this book for two reasons:1. To shatter the mold that limits religious and political expression within the GLBT community.2. To assure others who don't fit that mold that, 'You are not alone.' (Shawn Thomas)Unashamed is compelling. Shawn Thomas tackles controversial political and spiritual issues such as same-sex marriage and Prop 8, gender inclusive language, LGBT party platforms, among others. He breaks the typical liberal mold for gay America and playfully opens the door for conversation. He passionately seeks authenticity, and despite our political standings, we gladly go for the ride.
