"Jephthah's Daughters" is a book of personal testimonies by the children and adopted children of homosexuals, edited by Prof R. O Lopez and Dr Rivka Edelman. Both editors are the children of homosexuals and brought up in households in the LGBT community, and the book includes their personal testimonies on the subject of a child's right - and need - for a mother and father. Inevitably the book has been unpopular with LGBT militants who have used the full weaponry of attack against it and the authors. They and their families have been slandered, harassed, denounced and threatened in public and private by every means possible. They have been subjected to false complaints of many kinds and hounded out of their jobs. Their sons and daughters have been dragged into the smear campaigns by dedicated LGBT muckrakers and assassins, motivated by a degree of malice that is unparalleled in any other ideological disagreement. They have approached the colleagues and relatives of the contributors and editors seeking any scrap of information to twist and use as ammunition. In the professional sphere they have disparaged and sneered at the authors' books and research, without reading them. This is the wider context of the CSUN campaign. Since publication on Amazon.com. Jephthah's Daughters has been listed as available on Kindle, but has never been available, owing to mysterious "technical" hitches. The page claims that there are "significant quality issues with the source file supplied by the publisher. The publisher has been notified and we will make the book available as soon as we receive a corrected file." But that is not true as there is no publisher and the source file was provided by the editors and approved as viable by Amazon at the time of the original listing. Repeated requests over many months have not led them to solve the problem or issue the Kindle edition Since LGBT militants are very apt to resort to censorship and disingenuous ploys, we interpret these mysterious problems with the source file as meaning "Gaystapo does not like this book and is feeling very angry with you. " LGBT militants in and out of large organisations, have a range of devious tricks to attack freedom.
