This book explores the limits of Christian acceptance for minority rights campaigns by highlighting the ways Christian people may adopt tolerance for some groups while maintaining marginalization of others.

This book explores the ways Christian women in college make sense of bisexual, transgender, polyamorous, and atheist others. Specifically, it explores the ways they express tolerance for some sexual groups, such as lesbian and gay people, while maintaining condemnation of other sexual, gendered, or religious groups. In so doing, this book highlights the limits of Christian tolerance for the advancement of minority rights.

J. E. Sumerau is assistant professor and director of applied sociology at the University of Tampa. Ryan T. Cragun is associate professor of sociology at the University of Tampa.
