The God Squad
"...brilliantly over the top...It's twisted, but it's getting funnier with each page...I couldn't help but enjoy this fine display of Rik Isensee's wicked humor. Honest!" —Jeffrey Jasper, Lambda Book Report At last! A sharp and sexy satire that skewers the absurd methods used by the ex-gay movement to make gays go straight. In this hilarious send-up of ex-gay treatment programs, a young man named Paul joins Escape, run by the Reverend Sly Slocock. While trying to convert other gays, Paul meets Jimmy, a feisty antagonist from Homo Nation, who sets out to undermine Sly's increasingly bizarre attempts to cure Paul's homosexuality. The God Squad is a racy, romantic comedy spiced with irony, intrigue, and forbidden passion. By exposing the fraudulent hypocrisy of ex-gay ministries, it also provides a refreshing antidote to the religious right's campaign against gays. For a more serious look at these issues, check out my response to "ex-gay" advocates, and read my letter to my evangelical cousin for a gay-affirmative response to religious concerns.
