"In Conditionally Accepted Baker Rogers offers a textured analysis of perceptions of gay and lesbian citizens living in one of the most conservative parts of the country. A well-organized, engaging, and compelling investigation."" ""In this critical yet sympathetic analysis of religious intolerance, Baker Rogers listens carefully to anti-gay Christians in Mississippi. They offer strong evidence that close contact with lesbian and gay people is not enough to change deeply held anti-gay attitudes."
