Review
In a follow-up to his controversial first book, Sexual Brain, Simon LeVay, an English-born neuro-anatomist associated with the Salk Institute in San Diego, continues to argue that scientific support for the genetic predisposition theory is the best strategy for the homosexual community to embrace. Queer Science: The Use and Abuse of Research Into Homosexuality contrasts his own research--which showed that the INAH-3 nucleus in the hypothalamus is smaller in homosexual men than in heterosexual men--with the "environmental" explanation of neglect and poor parenting. LeVay believes his findings will one day eradicate the myth that homosexuality is something to "recover" from.
About the Author
Simon LeVay is particularly well known for his 1991 report in Science, which described a difference in brain structure between gay and heterosexual men. The report stirred up a considerable debate about the biological basis of sexual orientation, both in the scientific community and among the general public. In 1992, LeVay left his faculty position at the Salk Institute to co-found the Institute of Gay and Lesbian Education, an adult education school located in West Hollywood. His previous books are The Sexual Brain and City of Friends: A Portrait of the Gay and Lesbian Community in America (with Elisabeth Nonas).
