Winner of the Herbert Feis Award from the American Historical Association and named one of the best religion books of the year by Publishers Weekly, D. Michael Quinn's Same-Sex Dynamics among Nineteenth-Century Americans has elicited critical acclaim as well as controversy. Using Mormonism as a case study of the extent of early America's acceptance of same-sex intimacy, Quinn examines several examples of long-term relationships among Mormon same-sex couples and the environment in which they flourished before the onset of homophobia in the late 1950s.
 

Although published in the 1996, Quinn's book is highly germane today, as the topic of "same sex" relationships continues in heated discussions throughout the country. Mormons strongly reject those who do not fit its stereotypical "man, woman and six kids" view of marriage and sexual relations. It's strong financial support for California's punitive Proposition 8 barring same-sex marriage is another manifestation of its hostility to those "unnatural" men and women who wish to marry a person of their choice. As Quinn painstakingly shows, such intolerance was not always so in Utah or the Mormon Church. Church authorities born prior to the turn of the 20th Century had much more "liberal" attitudes toward same-sex relationships. Anti-gay Mormonism did not take hold until the 1950s.

Quinn does exhaustive research on any topic he pursues. The footnotes after each chapter are overwhelming. A reader could take days just reading through them, let alone reading the sources upon which they are based. As a consequence, there is plenty of evidence to support the proposition that homophobia has no deep roots in Mormonism and that it does not have to be such a big part of its agenda today. However, don't expect any significant changes in Mormon attitudes until Packer and his ilk are gone.

Title: Exhaustive!!!

Review: Scholarly and exhaustive, this book will tell you more than you ever though possible about same sex couples in the 19th century LDS church. I think Quinn must have read every copy of the Deseret News and the Tribune up to the 20's. Amazing documentation and research.

Title: Obvious hidden agenda.
Date: Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2000
Review: The book is well researched and the writing for once isn't tedious, (good job Dr. Quinn). However, Quinn really strains it at times to prove his ideas. This is Quinn's hidden agenda: The Mormon church during the 19th century was not as homophopic as it is now, therefore the Mormon church should not be so severe in its attacks and excommunications of Gay members of the church like myself. Quinn's whole purpose in writing this book is to try to say that the current LDS leaders are hypocrites because earlier leaders had more lenient attidutes towards homosexuality. The book is a good history of same-sex relations but the reader needs to be aware of the hidden agenda and the bias in Quinn's historical research and writing.

Title: Astonishing.
Date: Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 1997
Review: Best scholarship I have read in a long, long time. It is not often I can say a book actually made me see myself and my beliefs differently. As a believing Mormon I find Quinn's research into the "many silences of Mormon history" not only enlightening, but, contary to the Church's fears, inspiring. Bravo, Michael. ~Gail Richards Dedrick

Title: Mr. Quinn, please learn to put things into context
Date: Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2012
Review: This book lacks any semblance of the real historical context in which the events took place in. While checking some of the references, I noticed that the author has misrepresented statements made by early members of the LDS Church. I will give one example of how D. Michael Quinn does this: In one part, he quotes a part of a poem written by Evan Stephens entitled "Friends," which was published by the LDS Church in a children's magazine. The poem describes how, because of the "love of friendship" (not romance/lust as Dr. Quinn would have you believe) people have gone through the ups and downs of life together. They have lived, loved, slept, dined, felt pain of sorrows, and are held together by the "love of friendship." Quinn uses this poem to show the reader how Stephens was a homosexual because it uses the phrase "slept together." This phrase, which carries a sexual connotation in our day, had no such connotation when the poem was written and published, in the early 1900's. The phrase was meant to be taken literally, as part of Evan Stephens' description of the day-to-day life that we endure as friends, not as romantic lovers. There is no way to justify Quinn's interpretation of this poem. Had there been any sexual connotation to it in its time, the LDS Church (often criticized for suppressing and sheltering its members from their sexuality) would not have published this poem in a magazine for children in the beginning of the last century. Dr. Quinn's claim(s) is preposterous.

This is an example of the pattern that is repeated over and over throughout the book. Quotes are misconstrued, innuendo is inferred where there is none, and conclusions are given where there is little if any substantial evidence. Given Dr. Quinn's extensive training and experience, I cannot believe that this was due to accident or ignorance. He seems to have purposely set aside the ethical boundaries of his profession in order to prove his thesis. Those who casually read this book might be duped into believing what he says at face value, but I beseech all of you who read this book to find all of the quotes in their original form, and read them in their entirety. You will see how these quotes ultimately to not support Dr. Quinn's assertion, that early leaders of the LDS Church were sympathetic about (and were even involved in) homosexual behavior. Please do not make a judgement on Dr. Quinn's claims until you have checked the facts.
