Sexual Brain

"It is true that the research of [geneticist Dean Hamer] and LeVay presents technical and conceptual difficulties and that their preliminary findings obviously need replication or refutation. Yet their work represents a genuine epistemological break away from the past's rigid and withered conceptions of sexual preference. The pursuit of understanding about the origins of human sexuality--the quest to find an answer to the question, What does it mean to be gay and/or straight?--offers the possibility of eliminating what can be the most oppressive of cultural forces, the prejudiced social norm."LeVay, Simon is the author of 'Sexual Brain', published 1994 under ISBN 9780262620932 and ISBN 0262620936.
