Description
Summary:The intersection of queer identities and religious allegiance has constituted a lively source for emerging new religious movements. This article examines the roots of the contemporary flourishing of religious fellowships for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) practitioners, focusing on the "gay church movement" of the late 1960s and early 1970s. These predominantly gay religious fellowships initiated models for religious organizing that facilitated continued proliferation across religious affiliation.
