Gay and Gaia: Ethics, Ecology, and the Erotic

Gay and Gaia: Ethics, Ecology, and the Erotic

Daniel T. Spencer
3.6/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
Gay and Gaia is an important and sophisticated work. It weaves liberationist, gay, and ecological strands together in a clear, coherent presentation. And the shift from 'social location' to 'ecolocation' is o solid contribution to Christian ethics from this point forward. -- Larry Rasmussen, Union Theological Seminary in New YorkGay and Gaia is Daniel Spencer's bold and passionate call to rethink our fundamental assumptions about the sacred, ecology, and sexuality. Contending that ecological ethics must become the grounding for all ethics, the author suggests that genuine justice requires right relation among all of creation, not simply among human beings.Blending liberationist, environmental, and gay thought and drawing on major theological voices speaking to the environment, Spencer urges us -- gay and straight, bisexual and transgendered -- to reject a human-centered worldview in favor of an ecocentric worldview. Only when we are able to integrate our sexuality with our spirituality, he contends, will we fully experience the divine -- and fully live out our ethical values.
