The Hot Box


Zane - 1996
    The players take turns being fielders and runners, ultimately trying to tag the rest of the players out. In The Hot Box, best friends Milena and Lydia are playing the game with Jacour, Yosef, Glenn, and Phil. The only problem: the men do not realize that they are playing. Milena lives a sheltered and dismal existence and has not allowed a man to touch her body in eight years . . . until now. Lydia dreams of getting away from small-town America but, until she can make that happen, she is prepared to do whatever it takes to continue to have her bills paid . . . on time. Good sex always does the trick. Two women. Four men. Two love triangles. Reading has never been this hot because, once again, Zane is taking you outside the box.

Gay and Gaia: Ethics, Ecology, and the Erotic


Daniel T. Spencer - 1996
    It weaves liberationist, gay, and ecological strands together in a clear, coherent presentation. And the shift from 'social location' to 'ecolocation' is o solid contribution to Christian ethics from this point forward. -- Larry Rasmussen, Union Theological Seminary in New YorkGay and Gaia is Daniel Spencer's bold and passionate call to rethink our fundamental assumptions about the sacred, ecology, and sexuality. Contending that ecological ethics must become the grounding for all ethics, the author suggests that genuine justice requires right relation among all of creation, not simply among human beings.Blending liberationist, environmental, and gay thought and drawing on major theological voices speaking to the environment, Spencer urges us -- gay and straight, bisexual and transgendered -- to reject a human-centered worldview in favor of an ecocentric worldview. Only when we are able to integrate our sexuality with our spirituality, he contends, will we fully experience the divine -- and fully live out our ethical values.
