"This is a varied, interesting and uncomfortable compilation of essays, with applicability to everyone who is prepared to hear the voices and heed the challenges. It is a very valuable contribution to a lesser-known aspect of the field of theology and sexuality, and a necessary corrective to theologies - lesbian and gay as well as those orientated around heterosexuality - that have as their premise an unquestioned gender binary. I highly recommend this book." (Jenny Gaffin, Modern Believing, Vol. 57 (4), 2016)
