“I sometimes marvel how truth progresses, so difficult is it for one man to convince another, unless his mind is vacant.” ~ Charles Darwin

           On this site we often refer to how the sexual side of science is portrayed in the media. However, we rarely elaborate on that or really provide any such resources. Below I am going to provide a selection of common media sources I have found on the subject. I hope you can examine these and formulate an opinion of this media for yourself.

National Geographic: Homosexual Activity Among Animals Stirs Debate
Wikipedia: Animal Sexual Behavior
SEED: The Effeminate Sheep and Other Problems with Darwinian Sexual Selection

    About The Site

    On this site we set out to explore the question: How does sexual orientation affect the process of science, and how has science responded in “explaining” sexual identities?  We understand this topic is a very personal topic for many and wish to emphasize that any information we put on this site is not our own opinions but rather a documentation of the history of science and sexuality.
