Initially released in the mid 1990's, Eric Marcus produced an updated sings-of-the-times version of his highly acclaimed book "Is It A Choice? Answers to the Most Frequently Asked Questions About Gay and Lesbian People".
Yes, we have come a long way in achieving acceptances and education relating to homosexuality, but everyone knows there's still a high mountain to climb when it comes to the common misconceptions out there. Homosexuality is still very much a taboo, even in the Western World. This is only so true when we hear about the marriage law saga and appalling television commercials produced by anti-gay groups.
This book is perfect for gay and pro-gay individuals who need that extra bit of affirmation and perfect rebuttal up their sleeves when they hear the dreaded "if it doesn't fit, then how can it be normal?" and "you just need to wait until the right person comes along?" questions. Likewise, for those of you who are completely convinced homosexuality IS a choice and haven't yet heard a convincing argument, then this book is for you too.
Basically, if you have a question, more than likely, you'll find it in this book.
The beauty though, is that Eric's arguments are not bogged down by religious bias (which we know can often turn into a tail chasing case). He writes well and incorporates a sense of humour that keeps the topic light hearted. He delves into the realm of gays in the military, sexual practices, dating, marriage, gays in the workplace without putting anyone on the defensive.
This is a book we wish would be on the shelves on every high school's library. As a resource, it is simply a must to the 10% or so youth out there who need a sanity check.
If you can't come up with the answers for "that" gay question fast, this book pretty much answers them all.
