Topic: The Gay Science

	Gay science fiction - Gurupedia
		Gay science fiction is a subgenre of science fiction that contains typical aspects of science fiction, except the main character or protagonist is almost always gay.
		One of the earliest examples of science fiction that involves a challenging amount of unconventional sexual activity is the early science fiction novel Odd John, by Olaf Stapledon.
		The best of gay science fiction displays this characteristic, but at the other end of the scale there are many examples of stories marketed as gay science fiction that consist primarily of explicit depictions of sexual activities between or among same-sex individuals in some "futuristic" setting.

	The strands of gay science - smh.com.au - Spectrum
		Many gay people consider the latest research, at best, to be a waste of money and an unwanted distraction from the real issues that concern them, such as anti-gay violence and discrimination.
		This happened with the most famous of recent gay discoveries: the 1993 announcement by Dr Dean Hamer that he was close to isolating a gay gene.
		This problem of explaining the evolution of gayness was compounded last year with the publication of a treatise on homosexuality in the animal kingdom by an independent American scholar, Bruce Bagemihl.

	WorldNetDaily: John Kerry's 'born-gay' science (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		I learned that there is no consensus even within the gay community about "nature vs. nurture" and that many gays and lesbians continue to adamantly defend "choice" as the critical factor in the development of sexual identity.
		Because of his faith in the notion that homosexuality is inborn, he has pledged to remove the ban on gays in the military, to pass "hate crimes" legislation, and to appoint Supreme Court judges who will fight for "equality" and oppose discrimination against gay couples.
		The myth that people are "born gay" and left without choices betrays both the scientific facts and the personal experience of ex-gays like me. Indeed, my very existence proves that change.

	Ideas: Gay Marriage - Pro and Con (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		If gays are to blame for Scandinavia's marital decline, how do we explain another trend closer to home: In the United States, the number of unmarried, co-habiting couples increased tenfold from 1960 to 2000.
		By contrast, if gays could marry, many of the children living with out-ofwedlock gay parents would instead be living in married households, and the link between marriage and parenthood would be restored.
		Children raised by gay parents, the APA concluded, are not "disadvantaged in any significant respect relative to the children of heterosexual parents." The American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry echoed this finding in its 1999 statement opposing discrimination against gay parents.

		better science fiction novel incorporates the technological, futuristic, mystical, and mythical extrapolations into the story, so that the new reality of the novel is not simply a backdrop for an adventure but is an intrinsic part of the development and resolution of the plot.
		better gay novel incorporates the characters' sexual orientation into the story so that it is not simply a backdrop for a standard adventure but is an intrinsic part of the development of the plot.
		An even better gay novel uses those issues of sexual orientation to demonstrate how certain traits and virtues peculiar to the characters because they are gay or lesbian help to resolve the conflicts of the plot.

		Murphy suggests that instead of fighting for bans on further sexual-orientation research, the gay community is better served by strong advocacy to protect the rights of gay and lesbian persons.
		He even suggests that with appropriate safeguards in place and in spite of the prevailing bias against homosexuality, gay people could benefit from appropriate use of tests of sexual orientation, were they to be developed.
		This is a courageous stance for a gay author and reflects his obviously strong belief in the value of legal and ethical safeguards.

	Larry-bob's Generic Queer Homepage: Gay Science Fiction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Another piece of queer science fiction I read around that time was Tom Reamy's short story "Under the Hollywood sign." In it, a cop becomes overwhelmed by sexual feelings for beautiful inhuman clones he sees at the sites of deaths and eventually captures one, whom he chains to a bed and repeatedly rapes.
		Clearly these were some sort of perverts.) Most of my few friends in highschool shared my interest in science fiction, and though I think that some of them have since also shared my other proclivities, at the time they were also apparently asexual.
		I think that science fiction, like punk, attracted me because of my sense of differentness, my longing for an escape from the mundane world in which I had no obvious place.

		The number of women with extreme skewing of X-inactivation was significantly higher in mothers of gay men (13/97=13%) compared to controls (4/103=4%) and increased in mothers with two or more gay sons (10/44=23%).

	Science vs. the "Gay Gene"
		Most of the major science journals reported on the progress in the field of genetics, but also speculated on how the information would now be used.
		The fact that fraternal twins of gay men were roughly twice as likely to be gay as other biological brothers shows that environmental factors are involved, since fraternal twins are no more similar biologically than are other biological brothers.
		It is important to note that Hamer did not claim to have found a “gay gene,” or even the set of genes, that might contribute to a propensity for homosexuality.

		Basically, it is a subgenre of science fiction which qualifies for this subgenere simply because the main character or protagonist is almost always gay.
		And since it is made known to the reader that the protagonist is gay, it follows that there is more sexual imagery and erotica in this subgenere than in the average SF book.
		Samuel R. Delany is probably the most successful gay science fiction writer.

	The Gay Science
		The course of logical thought and reasoning in our modern brain corresponds to a process and struggle of impulses, which singly and in themselves are all very illogical and unjust; we experience usually only the result of the struggle so rapidly and secretly does this primitive mechanism now operate in us.
		It is sufficient to regard science as the exactest humanizing of things that is possible; we always learn to describe ourselves more accurately by describing things and their successions.
		It is the same with this "severity of science" as with the manners and politeness of the best society: it frightens the uninitiated.

	Gay Science; The Ethics of Sexual Orientation Research; Timothy F. Murphy
		If a method for changing sexual orientation were developed would it would be forced upon gay adults, or children whose parents suspected they might grow up to be gay.
		Pointing to the potential benefits of sexual orientation research as well as acknowledging its potential for harm, Murphy ultimately defends gay science in the name of free scientific inquiry.
		Gay Science argues that the way to ensure the future of gay people is not through censoring sexual orientation research but through working toward a society which uses reseach as a way of dinstinguishing myth from fact and not as an instrument of discrimination.

		Essay: "God is dead" - The Gay Science
		In his book, The Gay Science, Nietzsche’s madman ran in daylight with a lantern, through a town exclaiming, ‘God is dead!’ By declaring this, Nietzsche did not mean that God is literally, physically dead as the quote suggests.
		It actually provokes thousands of interpretations but to use the correct one, we must first investigate the philosopher’s style of writing.

	City Pages - Timothy F. Murphy: <I>Gay Science</I> (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		As doctors, biologists, and shrinks alike have attempted to account for the gap between straight and gay, pure scientific inquiry has frequently taken a back seat to moral or religious agendas.
		Fearing some form of genocide, some gays have argued that sexual-orientation research--even that conducted by gay or ostensibly gay-friendly scientists--should be banned altogether.
		If Murphy's conclusions aren't astonishing, however, his assessment of the state of the science is. From neuroanatomist Simon LeVay's study of brain structures in gay men to psychologist Joseph Nicolosi's conclusion that homosexual urges stem from psychic childhood injury inflicted by fathers, Gay Science coldly examines the methods, conclusions, and limits of homosexual research.
