Same Sex - Debating the Ethics, Science, and Culture of Homosexuality

Homosexuality is not a subject that has lent itself to level-headed discussion. Here, an important group of philosophers, scientists, theologians, and historians explore the controversies surrounding the subject. SAME SEX will prove to be essential reading for anyone interested in moving beyond sidewalk polemics toward a better understanding of gays, lesbians, and the various debates surrounding them.
