Summary:

"If Andrew Sullivan's Virtually Normal was about sexuality and politics, this controversial memoir is about life and survival. At the end of a plague era, he writes movingly about the death of a friend, asks searching questions about his own life and that of others. Can friendship be a substitute for love? Are sex and spirituality mutually exclusive? Can faith survive exclusion and persecution? Is homosexuality genetically or environmentally determined? What is normal? Speaking to heterosexual and homosexual audiences alike, Sullivan takes on religious authorities and gay activists; talks candidly about his own promiscuity, risk-taking and the search for love; revisits Freud in the origins of homosexuality; and makes one of the most memorable modern cases for elevating the virtues of friendship over the two-edged satisfactions of love. Impassioned, challenging, honest and illuminating, Love Undetectable is an important book that is ultimately not about homosexuality or plague, but about humanity and morality"--Page 4 of cover
