I spend my days trying to teach science to little kids (but mostly just acting like a fool). I spend the rest of my time ... well, to be honest, I act like a fool most of the rest of the time, too!

I appreciate what the author is attempting to do -- make the case that evolutionarily homosexuality is natural and even beneficial. However, I have some reservations about her methodology. I'd have to read her whole book to really understand her arguments, but from the summary, it seems that she creates straw men and makes some pretty large leaps of logic. For example, she states, "According to Darwin, the only purpose for sex is the transfer of sperm" then proceeds to dismantle that idea. The only problem? It's obvious the statement an oversimplified, inaccurate representation of Darwin's theory because it is so easily proven wrong! I'd love to read a more factually sound discussion of the evolution of homosexuality.
