What the hell was this, 'study' on homosexuality. They obviously don't know the first thing about what it is to be LGBTQ. Do they really think about what WE gays, lesbians, transexuals, bisexuals, and questioning HUMAN BEINGS think about this book. Sure, somewhat. But straight people in the modern world think they know everything about what it is to be gay; By conducting studies WITH gay people, they think they know everything there is. Newsflash, you don't. So stop publishing books about us, that aren't even written by ONE of us. Straight people need to get their heads on straight. Oh fuck, they already are. Blokes.
