Críticas:

This series of essays and responses makes for a calm, measured debate on the morality of homosexuality and of society's treatment of homosexuals . . . [and] attempts to substitute reason and scholarship for diatribe. * The Instrumentalist * This is a thoughtful book, one that provides plenty of space for reflection and drawing one's own conclusions-or seeking further information. * National Catholic Reporter * One welcomes with enthusiasm, therefore, Same Sex, a series of twenty-seven essays which gives space to arguments on both, or more, sides of many of the issues surrounding homosexuality, and genuinely seeks to engage in intellectual debate. * Times Literary Supplement * Exceptionally comprehensive, admirably balanced, endlessly thought-provoking." -- Bruce Bawer, author of A Place at the Table [An] extremely useful collection of original pieces and recent classics. -- Chesire Calhoun, Department of Philosophy, Colby College . . . lucidly distinguishes among nature/nurture, essentialist/constructionist, and determinist/voluntarist . . . -- Susan Henking, Hobart and William Smith Colleges * Religious Studies Review *

Reseña del editor:

Same Sex is the most comprehensive anthology on homosexuality available. It goes beyond other classroom readers to explore historical conceptions of homosexuality, homosexual identity, and a variety of public policy issues, ranging from gay marriage to outing to military service. It also examines the issues from ethical, religious, and scientific perspectives. While the authors represent a wide range of opinions on homosexuality, the anthology cuts through the emotional fervor surrounding homosexuality to offer reasoned, lucid discussion of the issues.
