Search for that particular expression on the spiritual market which would in the best possible way allow harmonization of sexual desires, behaviours and religious identity, the search for forms of religion and spirituality which are compatible with the gay and lesbian sexuality, goes on outside of formal institutions within vary different movements of the New Age spirituality.
