Shirt of Flame: The Secret Gay Art of War

by Ko Imani

Shirt of Flame: The Secret Gay Art of War explains how Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender people can adopt a leadership role in co-creating a society that walks the walk when it comes to its ideals of equality, freedom, justice, respect, truth and growth. How do we do it? By living our best lives, filled with love, compassion and community. As the book says, "Demanding change without embodying change will never create change."

Ko Imani argues in Shirt of Flame that if the change we want to see in the world is the establishment of a "Beloved Community," then we must learn to be the most loving, compassionate, creative, healed and healing women and men we can be. Our activism must not contradict the end result we desire or we may never be successful. Shirt of Flame is an accessible guidebook to creating an amazing life for yourself that creates change in the world. Don't miss this book if you are Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual or Transgender, or love someone who is!
