In these times of dramatic social change, when the highly charged issue of homosexuality is undeniably causing controversy in many arenas - religion, marriage, politics, education, the military - Christian de la Huerta offers a fresh outlook on gay spirituality and how to assert it. In this encompassing guidebook, de la Huerta looks at Buddhism, Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Taoism, Sufism, New Thought, New Age, and Earth-based religions, including Native American. Cogently investigating these traditions' attitudes, teachings, and policies toward homosexuality, the author gives a foundation from which to begin building a spiritual connection. Coming Out Spiritually also synthesises ten spiritual roles or archetypes people we now call gay or queer have often assumed and continue to enact today: creators of beauty, consciousness scouts, mediators, shamans, and healers, among others. Drawing on these models the author shows how to step forth more fully into a rightful self.
