Unveiling Hidden Realms: Queer Devotion Challenges Spiritual Norms Beyond the Binary
By examining the historical depictions of gods and goddesses, Burgess proves once and for all that the gods have always been queer. The book is an affirming read for queer people who might find themselves distanced from organized religion, and yet still wish to develop a relationship with the Divine. As Burgess says as they close the book, “We’ve always been here, and we’ve always been queer, and we’ve always been divine. Hail Holy Queer.”
