This could be the most controversial book yet in the Contemporary Issues Series. Its balanced approach could risk the wrath of advocates and critics alike, offering powerful essays on four key issues: the causes of homosexuality, disputes about the role the courts should play, gays and the military, and religious attitudes toward homosexuality.

Industry Reviews

"...readers will benefit from the original scholarship ... this is an excellent reference book for those that wish to explore opposing points of view; it is timely, considered, and generally representative." Publishers Weekly "... this anthology features essays from both camps on such issues as gay life, genetics vs. environmental causes, gay rights, gays in the military, and gays and religion...this is indeed a 'balanced' text ..." -- Library Journal
