I will consider acquiring the book. However, I already know that I strongly disagree with Dr. Michael Brown on one point: his refusal to disown the ersatz terms used by left-wing activists; to wit, "gay" and "homosexual". This is not a trivial concern.

Such persons are seldom innocently gay, and are never - never - homosexual, for there is no such thing. Those who speak of "Trust the Science" ignore the actual science.

I was a Biology major at a time when the secular anti-theists taught that love was merely a bio-chemical illusion evolved to induce sexual reproduction by a male and a female, then to spread the genes into the ever-widening gene pool. The very concept of Sexuality, according to those professors, was, literally, only, and entirely about species reproduction: Sexual Reproduction in contrast to Asexual Reproduction!

There is no such thing as a biologically functional form of sexual reproduction that can occur between two persons of the same biological sex (n.b., not ephemeral gender). What occurs between two such persons may arise from distorted sexual impulses, but it is not sex (i.e., an act of heterosexual copulation); rather, what occurs therein is properly called Homoeroticism. Any fetish may be erotic, but acting on a shoe fetish, for example, is only an erotic act, not a sex act, as it cannot result in species reproduction. Homoeroticism is a fetish, with the fetish object being a human being instead of an inanimate object; that makes it far more serious and dangerous, physiologically, psychologically, emotionally, spiritually, for those persons and for society.

The term, Homosexual, was coined in 1868 by Karl-Maria Kertbeny in a letter; even others who favored deviant behavior (e.g., Havelock Ellis, as I recall) did not accept the term then, since it was contrived and false. That movement was but one part of the deliberate separation of culture and education from the ethical and moral foundations laid by Biblical Christianity. Marxism, Darwinism, Higher Criticism, etc., all took over academia.

Using the loaded terms of the left, such as “gay” and “homosexual”, is yielding valuable debating ground even before the debate has begun. (I have read many articles by Michael Brown over the years, and have attempted to dissuade him, via comment, from using these terms in a mistaken attempt to show “love” to such persons.)

If we really want to be “bold truth-tellers”, then we must start by taking back the English language from those who corrupt it into a socio-political weapon! I for one refuse to use these terms except in quotation marks. I hate that venerable literature has been compromised by the abuse of the real term, “gay”; I hate that legitimate science has been compromised by the fabrication of the fake term, “homosexual”. I do not hate such persons – though leftists always seek to portray any opposition as being nothing more than personal hatred - but I refuse to allow leftists to bully me into using their perverted terminology.
