Title: A Classic of Junk Science
Product review: Junk science comes in many forms, but this is a classic of the genre. Satinover's hateful agenda is exposed by his reliance on bad science to prove his case. He repeats the lie about gay males dying, on average, in their forties. (A fine debunking of this, by Andrew Sullivan, ran in The New Republic and is available on the web.) It's fine if you want to read or write an anti-gay screed -- welcome to the land of free expression -- but to disguise it as science or medicine is to do a disservice to both, as well as to the author's dubious cause. Twenty years from now, this book will be seen as one of the less honorable convulsions in reaction to what is clearly a trend toward equality and acceptance for gay and lesbian people.
