As Sullivan creeps back from the brink of death, he implores society to recognize people for their capacity to love and to give and not for being gay or straight. His thesis is heartfelt and forthright. It provides the arguments that render Love Undetectable a rich and engrossing read for many audiences--and, sadly, a controversial one to others for the same reasons...
