On Our God Too. Chapters 1-5.

First off, the book itself was really easy to read. I was a bit surprised at how the Church leaders acted so quickly in dispatching Troy Perry. After all, they could have at least attempted to council him. Continuing, some of the logistics of the book were just confusing. For example, was it common for the spouse of a confessed homosexual to try and stay together with him? If not, what was common practice? Bleeding the spouse for all he was worth? And what about lesbian wives? Could they even get a divorce? Moving on, the homosexual culture that Troy Perry introduces the reader to is interesting to say the least. For example, his interactions with David and the other surfer. Were there undertones for a reason or did Troy Perry steer clear of any under aged misbehavior as he did with the parish boy. Also, how David then was essentially enjoying himself in the midst of the gay bar was a bit odd. He toyed with Willie before the whole group became as close as family. It was all just a little crazy. No matter, the story was still a great read in the first five chapters and will probably continue to be so. Anyway, my final question was about the undercover agents who were in the gay bar specifically to arrest homosexuals allegedly eliciting certain things. Was this undercover situation an extremely common practice and if so, when was it stamped out?
