The Gay Spirituality Movement is a broad and rich topic. There are many books on the subject, from both inside and outside traditional religions. Promoting these books was one of the main functions of White Crane Journal. Some of them, like my own contributions, are overviews that transcend all specific religions. A sampling of such titles includes:
