Gay and Gaia is Daniel Spencer's bold, passionate
call to rethink sexuality, ecology, and the sacred. Contending
that ecological ethics must become the grounding for all
ethics, the author asserts that genuine justice requires right
relation among all of creation, not simply among human beings.
Spencer urges us - gay and straight, bisexual transgendered -
to reject a human-centered, anthropocentric worldview in favor
of an ecocentric worldview. Yet our responses to the
ecological crises need to be rooted in, and nourished by, our
appreciation of the erotic. Only when we are able to integrate
our sexuality with our spirituality will we fully experience
the divine - and fully live out our ethical values.
