Gay spirituality represents a hidden strand in Western thought that was only publically declared from the Gay Liberation of the 1970s. Since "coming out", expressions of gay spirituality have proliferated in both number and diversity. Beginning with gay theology within Christianity, the phenomenon has now reached as far as Buddhism and neo-paganism. But, so far, critical analysis of the movement has been very limited largely because gay spirituality has been treated as a political and social movement arguing for rights and acceptance within religious circles. 'A Special Illumination' offers an indepth analysis and argues that gay spirituality should be placed at the heart of religion.
Rollan McCleary currently lives in Melbourne, Australia. He obtained his doctorate in gay spirituality from the University of Queensland in Brisbane. His recently published Signs for a Messiah (Hazard Press) examines various controversial issues surrounding Jesus such as astrological theories regarding his birth and contemporary questions regarding his sexuality.
