In the last chapter he goes back to them and finds they are much more tolerant than the Fallwell crowd. It's at home and I'm at my man's place, but I'll post its details tomorrow.

Shugs,
Name of the book? Sounds interesting.

Sorry, I forgot I'd promised this. It's "God's Bullies" by Perry Deane Young, 1982, Holt, Reinhart and Winston, NY, ISBN 0-03-059206-4 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0030597064/qid=1148009141/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/104-8302016-5742356?s=books&v=glance&n=283155 at Amazon.com.
It has an interesting section in the middle about Terry Dolan, head of the National Conservative Political Action Committee - first about Young trying to pin him down on homosexuality, then a second account by a (named) man who had sex with him.

"If you meet the Buddha on the road, kill the Buddha!" (Zen Saying)
For the record, I was raised Roman Catholic, educated in RC schools and university. But the RC tradition was my parents choice of faiths, so I left their path to wander a long while studying & experiencing other religions to establish my own choice.
I now practice Tibetan Buddhism and know about other sects of Buddhism, but I still see the wonder and miraculous teaching of Jesus as true and good. If you want to "pigeon hole" me, you coud place me in the Unitarian Universalist Church. I am open to the many ways the Divine manifests in the human mind-heart.
I believe in the perfectly compassionate, all knowing, all forgiving Buddha Mind which lives in every human being. In some, it is perfectly clear and visible, in others less clear, less visible and there are those in whom it is not clear at all, but is buried by layers of bad karma and delusion. We are all at different stages of spiritual development.
That 's why the world is such a mess and why, at the same time, it is perfect.
LOL
