Pastoral workers will encounter gay, lesbian and transgender people. The phenomenon of sexual identity and gender is a puzzling issue. Father Gallagher has long experience in supporting homosexual people who struggle with the Christian way of life. This booklet was first written over thirty years ago. In this new updated edition, the focus remains on the homosexual person though with an acknowledgement that this must now be understood within the larger issue of gender.
