In 1973, based on Hooker’s fdgs, the Amerin Psychiatric Associatn removed homosexualy om s Diagnostic and Statistil Manual of Psychologil Disorrs and 1975, released a public statement that homosexualy was not a mental disorr.

THE GAY SCIENCE SUMMARY

While there is no sgle “gay gene, ” there is overwhelmg evince of a blogil basis for sexual orientatn that is programmed to the bra before birth based on a mix of geics and prenatal ndns, none of which the fet choos.

THE GAY SCIENCE (THE JOYFUL WISDOM) ( CLASSIC) PAPERBACK – JANUARY 1, 2009

Recently, scientists announced that they found some gen that might be associated wh sexual orientatn and a blogil explanatn for the reason gay men tend to have olr the field of sexual orientatn rearch is far broar and more plited than two studi—and Lisa Diamond, a psychologist and sexual orientatn rearcher at the Universy of Utah, knows that better than most.

It surveys Nietzsche's philosophy as a whole, explas the pivotal place of The Gay Science as the source of his ial of tragic joy, and shows how he reviv an ancient nceptn of philosophy as a way of life and the philosopher as physician. In the retrospective valuatn of his work which appears "Ecce Homo" the thor himself observ wh tth that the fourth book, "Sanct Januari, " serv pecial attentn: "The whole book is a gift om the Sat, and the troductory vers exprs my gratu for the most wonrful month of January that I have ever spent. The more universally and unndnally an dividual, or the thought of an dividual, n operate, so much more homogeneo and so much lower mt be the mass that is there operated upon; while unter-strivgs betray ternal unter-requirements, which also want to gratify and realise themselv.

—Among the Europeans of to-day there are not lackg those who may ll themselv homels on a way which is at once a distctn and an honour; is by them that my secret wisdom and gaya scienza is pecially to be laid to heart!

Fdg evince for a blogil basis should not sre or unrme gay, lbian and bisexual (LGB) rights (the studi I refer to do not clu transgenred dividuals, so I’ll nfe my ments to lbian, gay and bisexual people). Gen uld themselv nudge one towards a particular sexual orientatn or gen may simply teract wh other environmental factors (such as sex hormon the womb environment) to fluence later sexual bras of gay and heterosexual people also appear to be anised differently. The fluence of blogy ns throughout our sexual and genred liv and those differenc, that diversy, is surely to be wrers tend to wave off the scientific evince by urgg to look to the history of sexualy or claim that homosexualy is a social nstctn (cue Michel Fouult and the like).

THE GAY SCIENCE QUOTES

Surely our choic are the rult of thgs we didn’t choose (our gen, personali, upbrgg, and culture) worry that scientific rearch will lead to “cur” for homosexualy (which is an odd worry to have if you don’t believe the “born this way” argument).

We are who we are, and our sexuali are part of human worry about the claims of social nstctn, choice and such like is that plays to the hands of homophobic iology, to the hands of the “aversn therapists”, and to the hands of a growg culture which seeks to mimise gay differenc.

WHAT SCIENCE KNOWS ABOUT WHY PEOPLE ARE GAY

“As a teenager tryg to unrstand myself and unrstand my sexualy, I looked at the ter for “the gay gene” and obvly me across Xq28, ” said Fah Sathirapongsasuti, a study -thor and senr scientist at 23andMe, which he joked once led him to believe he hered his gayns om his mother. The rearchers had members of the same-sex muny review the study’s sign and language, and they adm that their termology and fns for gay, lbian and heterosexual do not reflect the full nature of the sexualy ntuum.

“[Our study] unrsr an important role for the environment shapg human sexual behavr and perhaps most importantly there is no sgle gay gene but rather the ntributn of many small geic effects sttered across the genome, ” Neale said. A new systematic review and mentary published the journal Psychologil Science the Public Intert tak a sweepg look at what the evince says about homosexualy and sexual orientatn general.

In a mentary published wh the review, Cornell Human Development Profsor Rch Sav-Williams offers evince of a ntuum of sexual orientatn that clus a wi variety of classifitns, cludg people who are "mostly straight" wh a small gree of same-sex attractn or people who are "mostly gay or lbian" wh some attractn to oppose-sex partners. Nietzsche wrote The Gay Science, which he later scribed as 'perhaps my most personal book', when he was at the height of his tellectual powers, and the rear will fd an extensive and sophistited treatment of the philosophil them and views which were most central to Nietzsche's own thought and which have been most fluential on later thkers.

NIETZSCHE'S THE GAY SCIENCE

Ever sce born-aga sger and orange juice pchwoman Ana Bryant helped kick off the ntemporary anti-gay movement some 40 years ago, hard-le elements of the relig right have been searchg for ways to monize gay people — or, at a mimum, to fd arguments that will prevent their normalizatn society. But addn to hawkg that myth, the legns of anti-gay activists who followed have add a panoply of others, rangg om the extremely doubtful claim that sexual orientatn is a choice, to unalloyed li like the claims that gay men molt children far more than heterosexuals or that hate crime laws will lead to the legalizatn of btialy and necrophilia.

The fairy tal are important to the anti-gay right bee they form the basis of s claim that homosexualy is a social evil that mt be supprsed — an opn rejected by virtually all relevant medil and scientific thori. Depictg gay men as a threat to children may be the sgle most potent weapon for stokg public fears about homosexualy — and for wng electns and referenda, as Ana Bryant found out durg her succsful 1977 mpaign to overturn a Da County, Fla., ordance barrg discrimatn agast gay people. Others have ced a group lled the Amerin College of Pediatricians (ACPeds) to claim, as Tony Perks of the Fay Rearch Council did November 2010, that "the rearch is overwhelmg that homosexualy pos a [moltatn] danger to children.

Gregory Herek, a profsor at the Universy of California, Davis, who is one of the natn's leadg rearchers on prejudice agast sexual mori, reviewed a seri of studi and found no evince that gay men molt children at higher rat than heterosexual men. The Amerin Amy of Child & Adolcent Psychiatry affirmed 2013 that “[c]urrent rearch shows that children wh gay and lbian parents do not differ om children wh heterosexual parents their emotnal velopment or their relatnships wh peers and adults” and they are “not more likely than children of heterosexual parents to velop emotnal or behavral problems. The Amerin Amy of Pediatrics (AAP) a 2002 policy statement clared: "A growg body of scientific lerature monstrat that children who grow up wh one or two gay and/or lbian parents fare as well emotnal, gnive, social, and sexual functng as do children whose parents are heterosexual.

Siarly, the Child Welfare League of Ameri's official posn wh regard to same-sex parents is that "lbian, gay, and bisexual parents are as well-sued to raise children as their heterosexual unterparts. A 2013 prelimary study Atralia found that the children of lbian and gay parents are not only thrivg, but may actually have better overall health and higher rat of fay hn than heterosexual fai. A si effect of this argument is the monizatn of parents of gay men and lbians, who are led to wonr if they failed to protect a child agast sexual abe or failed as role mols some important way.

Warren Throckmorton, a psychologist at the Christian Grove Cy College, noted an analysis that “the rearch on sexual abe among GLBT populatns is often mised to make ferenc about atn [of homosexualy].

BOOK REVIEW: THE GAY SCIENCE – NIETZSCHE

A report prented by the Council on Scientific Affairs to the AMA Hoe of Delegat Interim Meetg wh regard to reparative (“ex-gay”) therapy noted that most of the emotnal disturbance gay men and lbians experience around their sexual inty is not based on physlogil , but rather on “a sense of alienatn an unacceptg environment. Mark Hatzenbuehler, a socmedil scienc profsor at the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia Universy, said that the data gathered the study suggts that “sexual mori livg muni wh high levels of anti-gay prejudice have creased risk of mortaly, pared to low-prejudice muni. But if people are born gay — the same way that people have no choice as to whether they are black or whe — discrimatn agast gay men and lbians would be vastly more difficult to jtify.
