Gay Spirituality: The Role of Gay Identity in the Transformation of Human Consciousness

This book has been revised and expanded and released in a third edition in 2018 by Peregrine Ventures.

In this Lambda Literary award-winning title, author Toby Johnson explores how the rise of gay identity has become an important part of contemporary religious development.
This dramatic transformation has resulted due to the perspective of gay men; their ability to step outside the assumptions and conventions of culture and see things from a different point of view.

This book will reward readers seeking new insight into faith as well as culture, myth and traditions.

Toby Johnson is author of some nine books, all of which present in various and different ways the insights into the nature of religon and spirituality he learned from his teacher, Joseph Campbell.

A former psychotherapist, AIDS educator, community organizer, and gay bookstore owner--with his partner since 1984, Kip Dollar--Johnson is author of novels like Secret Matter and Two Spirits: A Novel About Life With the Navajo in collaboration with Walter L. Williams.

Johnson, only half jokingly, calls himself "Joseph Campbell's apostle to the gay community."

Johnson and Dollar were the first male couple registered as Doemstic Partners in Texas.
