Timothy Kurek, raised within the confines of a strict, conservative Christian denomination in the Bible Belt of the USA, was taught the gospel of separation from a young age. But it wasn't long before Timothy's path and the outside world converged when a friend came out as a lesbian, and revealed she had been excommunicated by her family.
Distraught about the lack of empathy for LGBT persons in his religious upbringing, the author posed as a gay man in order to experience and to understand how that impacts people's lives.
In the tradition of Black Like Me, this is a story about people, faith, and about one man's abominable quest to find Jesus in the margins.
