Queer Dharma for us

"The Great Way is not difficult..." Thank you Winston Leyland and others for making it easier for all of us. A must read for every gay (would-be) Buddhist.

Superb !

This is one of the few books that I have read in recent years that actually inspired me as a gay man. There is little enough out there that offers us, gays and lesbians, a spiritual life. It is in itself a good introduction to Buddhism, though lacks a lesbian perspective. Still if you are going to read anything as a gay man on Buddhism, this has to be it.

The first book of its kind published in the U.S.

Queer Dharma shows the great variety of Gay men who practice Buddhism in this country. It also demostrates how the contributors to this anthology have managed to find a spirituality that can counter the homophobia in our society, especially that of the religious right. The main flaw in the book is that it only has men's voices in it. There needs to be a book that also tells the stories of the Lesbian Buddhist community.
