Fighting for acceptance and understanding in a sometimes unforgiving world

In God’s Affection for Those Who Live Alternative Lifestyles (Pendium Publishing House), Demetrios Forney takes readers on a riveting six-chapter journey of compassion, comprehension, tolerance, and acceptance of all people who choose to live their lives as homosexuals, bisexuals, lesbians and transgenders. It is his goal to bring about awareness of showing unconditional love and compassion for those who live their lives this way.

Forney’s book is packed with famous quotations from historical figures, articulated reenactments of historic and modernized events, as well as vast biblical insights—and his goal is to truly change the mindset of readers so that all will appreciate God’s Affection for Those Who Live Alternative Lifestyles!

People who live these lifestyles face discrimination daily. Things that heterosexuals take for granted are often major issues for those living ‘differently.’  When it comes to travel, for instance, they need to ensure that their destination is not biased against them; resulting in their having to choose vacation spots that are known to be frequented by homosexuals, lesbians and others.  To choose the wrong destination could cost them their lives—as demonstrated by the lack of compassion and understanding exhibited by many Middle Eastern countries where homosexuality is grounds for death by usually barbaric methods. Thankfully, most countries have changed in their attitudes but there is still a long way to go for these people to be accepted as ‘normal.’

For some religions, they believe that God is a forgiving and loving God and that He does not judge (as mortal men often do)—therefore He is accepting of all His children. Forney’s goal is to educate more people and bring awareness to this lifestyle in hopes that others will become more accepting.

Demetrios Forney was born in Brooklyn, NY and was raised in the Bronx. He is an ordained Elder in the Christian faith, holding an MBA degree in Organizational Management and a Bachelor of Science degree in Police Studies, and is presently pursuing a Doctoral Degree in Pastoral Community Counseling at Argosy University in Florida. He is a U.S. Navy veteran who lives with his wife in Raleigh, NC.
