Description: Over thirty essays cover every issue relating to homosexuality and the changing attitude towards it. The biology of homosexuality, its psychology, new approaches to counselling for gays, the process of coming out, male and female gay relationships, gay parenthood, and other social, political and cultural topics are addressed. Its 22 authors collectively present a significant contribution to the armamenatarium of all those who seek, in whatever way, to answer rationally the irrational, prejudicial assumptions and accusations hurled at lesbian women and gay men. The authors critically report on the research, provide a rich source of suggestions for future research, including cautions concerning methodology.
