Born Gay: The Psychobiology of Sex Orientation
Product Description
Since the ground-breaking work of Simon LeVay and Dean Hamer in the early 1990s, a tremendous amount of new research has been carried out by scientists who now understand a great deal more about the biology of sexual attraction. In this book the authors show that attempts to find a sociological cause for homosexuality have little foundation and argue that popular efforts to blame parents or teachers for a child’s homosexuality are futile and unjust. Combining their own findings with all the available quantifiable research, the authors have, with this study, provided an urgently needed addition to the major work that has been done in this field. Outstanding Academic Title 2006″”–Choice.

This is a review of all significant research into the causes of homosexuality, both male and female.
The writers objectively review the scientific studies of gay people and present the findings clearly and in a readable style.
Many interesting questions are asked: What might cause someone to be gay? Does homosexuality run in families? Does childhood behaviour predict adult sexuality?
I recommend this book particularly to gay people. It explains causes of homosexuality and every gay person should have knowledge of this area.
I also recommend this book to anyone who wants to be informed about gay people and sexuality in general. This is an important book that deserves attention and a wide audience.

Born Gay is an excellent overview to the amazing body of research that is now available concerning the biology behind homosexuality. As the author of Dynamic Duos: The Alpha/Beta Key to Unlocking Success in Gay Relationships I found this book to be a valuable guide and resource in my own research. I highly recommend it to anyone who has ever questioned the biological basis for sexual and affectional differences.

Born Gay: The Psychobiology of Sexual Orientation is an impressive analysis of numerous studies that explore the etiology of sexual orientation. Wilson and Rahman investigate a multitude of variables that are suspected to cause, reveal, or predict a non-heterosexual sexual orientation among men and women. Born Gay is an excellent reader-friendly resource for anyone who wishes to understand the scientific works surrounding sexual orientation. This book will inform, educate and empower you.
