the last book I ever read (The World Only Spins Forward: The Ascent of Angels in America, excerpt one)

from The World Only Spins Forward: The Ascent of Angels in America by Isaac Butler and Dan Kois:

RICK PERLSTEIN (historian; author of The Invisible Bridge: The Fall of Nixon and the Rise of Reagan: Jerry Falwell by 1980 was a very close Reagan ally, and Falwell was absolutely savage as an opponent of gay rights. He gave a televised sermon in which he said, “Like a spiritual cancer, homosexuality spreads, and like the city of Sodom was destroyed, can we believe that God will spare the United States if homosexuality continues to spread?”
