The High Priesthood of Being Gay (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781477113141)

In the tradition of Persig's Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, James Hagerty weaves a philosophy of gay ontology -- the nature of being, or reality -- around his own life experiences. He traces individual gay existence from its origin ("Homosexuality precedes sexuality") through three ordinations to an ideal in which "the gay man perceives and takes responsibility for his inherent station of High Priest..".

Drawing from the work of Sartre (Being and Nothingness), Hagerty builds a functional philosophy/religion with gay pride at its heart.
