Jason, You can check out the reading resource list on the Queermergent blog. There may be some queer theology books listed there. FYI, i don't see G-D as queer but never really thought about it either. i guess i see G-D encompassing us all…

an ADHD God

Friends-I am writing an article on an ADHDLiberation theology. I submitted a draft to the Journal of Religion,Health and Disability and got it back with a ton of helpful notes and anasighned co-author.
