Sommario/riassunto

Reinventing the Male Homosexual: The Rhetoric and Power of the Gay Gene                examines the assumption that embracing the biological research on homosexuality is a                viable political strategy for the gay rights movement. The biological argument for                gay rights is treated as a ""bio-rhetoric,"" a means of incorporating                scientific research into public debates. The book investigates the biological                research on which this gay rights argument is based, and explores how male                homosexuality is conceptualized in the field
