Description

Sex and the Sacred: Gay Identity and Spiritual Growth examines the spiritual dimension of human sexuality in a way that's free of religious affiliation but still open to traditional religion and a belief in God. Dr. Daniel Helminiak, author of What the Bible Really Says About Homosexuality, looks at the relationship between spirituality and sexuality from both a humanistic perspective and a more familiar Christian point of view, encouraging LGBTI people to reclaim their spiritual heritage without apology. This unique book emphasizes spiritual commitment as an important part of the modern LGBTI/queer consciousness, addressing such universal LGBTI themes as coming out, the importance of self-acceptance, gay marriage, gay bashing, and the ethics of gay sex.
