Synopsis

"The Gay book that isn't gay" presents a radical, original view of liberal human sexual expression perhaps the most astonishing since the "Kinsey Report." Over some fi fty years, the author has collected piece after piece of research that bears on modern sexual behavior with surprising conclusions for the "straight" or the "gay" person. Perhaps a "viciously skeptical" message, it argues that historically, the attitudes of every social force - science, religion, and governments - has been self- serving responses to contemporary problems and often more than misguided. The book asserts that the time is ripe for the gay movement to change direction if it truly seeks meaningful "liberation." Gay men and women are in a unique position to change overall understanding of what some term as "different" sexual behavior. The keys are education and the abandonment of the human propensity for self-delusion. There's abundant ammunition to shatter many myths. The author is unafraid to discuss the often romantic digressions of science, the generally opportunistic employment of homophobia by religious creeds, and the "tight-rope" walking of politicians. In the "did-you-know" category are many surprises. There is absolutely no evidence that any animal has a desire to "breed." Men and women proposition one another with the pupils of their eyes. Human embryos play with their genitals. This book about differing forms of sexual activity is a "must read."
