Is homosexuality immoral? Is it biologically determined, and why does that question matter? What does the Bible say about homosexuality? Are gay rights “equal rights” or “special rights”? In Same Sex, an important group of philosophers, scientists, theologians, and historians explore these and other hotly contested questions. Homosexuality is not a subject that has lent itself to level-headed discussion. The contributors to this book, however, while representing a wide range of opinions on homosexuality, share a fundamental commitment to careful, rational debate. Same Sex is essential reading for anyone interested in moving beyond sidewalk polemics toward a better understanding of gays, lesbians, and the various debates surrounding them.
