Just as same-sex marriage became the law of the land, the culture war shifted into overdrive.
Reasonably Gay: 2015-2016 collects Chad Felix Greene's sharpest essays from the pivotal years when Caitlyn Jenner came out as Republican, "My Husband's Not Gay" sparked national panic, transgender ideology exploded into public debate, and the LGBT left demanded total ideological conformity.
Writing from inside the community, this openly gay conservative voice challenges the new orthodoxies with logic and courage: defending gay Mormons who choose traditional marriage, exposing inflated "anti-gay hate crime" myths, rejecting the "LGBT" label entirely, sharing his own HIV journey as a free-market conservative, and arguing that gay marriage, while inevitable, was never the existential threat conservatives feared.
He also takes on the left's racial attacks on Dr. Ben Carson, the anti-Christian messaging in "Take Me to Church," early trans controversies ("Call Me Transphobic?" and "My Transgender Story"), and the emerging Trump-era panic ("LGBTQ: Trump Is Not Going to Take Away Your Rights").
Originally published across American Thinker, Huffington Post, and his own platform, these pieces form a time capsule of 2015-2016 - and a timeless defense of intellectual honesty over tribal loyalty.
Whether you're conservative, liberal, gay, straight, or simply exhausted by identity politics, this collection delivers the rarest perspective in modern discourse: a gay man who refuses to let his sexuality dictate his politics.
