An essay by Vexen Crabtree on the Human Truth Foundation's dpjs.co.uk, first published in 2002 and last revised 18 October 2018, surveying sexual ethics across Satanist traditions. On the Church of Satan specifically, it quotes High Priest Peter H. Gilmore's book The Satanic Scriptures directly: "The Church of Satan is the first organized religious group to fully accept members regardless of sexual orientation." It states the organization has accepted gay, lesbian and bisexual members since its founding, supports the legal recognition of marriage between adult partners regardless of sex, and holds that any consenting adult sexual expression falls within Satanic philosophy.

Reliability Tier
2
An independent, non-affiliated religious-studies research site, not a Church of Satan publication, but read here for its direct quotation of a primary text (High Priest Peter Gilmore's The Satanic Scriptures, 2007) rather than as an eyewitness or academic account in its own voice; the underlying book itself was not independently read for this fact.
Notes
Cited for the Church of Satan's sexuality-position.
