Pure marriage -- Sodom and Cumorah -- Politics and the patriarchal order -- Proclaiming the new heterosexual family -- The death and resurrection of "the homosexual."
"Taylor G. Petrey's... history takes a... step forward in documenting and theorizing about Latter-day Saints (LDS) teachings on gender, sexual difference, and marriage. Drawing on deep archival research, Petrey situates LDS doctrines in gender theory and American religious history since World War II. His challenging conclusion is that Mormonism is conflicted between ontologies of gender essentialism and gender fluidity, illustrating a broader tension in the history of sexuality in modernity itself"--
