Gay spirituality and sensibility come to light in these pages of striking portraits and trenchant interviews. Thompson brings out the contributions of the esteemed gay men - including Will Roscoe, Joseph Kramer, Harry Hay, James Broughton, Andrew Harvey, Paul Monette, Malcolm Boyd, and Ram Dass - who lead the spiritual life. Thompson elicits vivid musings on such provocative issues as the third gender, S & M, ritual as 'holy fire', and spirituality in the age of Aids. His interviews call out the deepest emotions of each of these vibrant leaders who reveal, as never before, the spirit and the soul of the gay life.
