There are 4 comments on Is Science Too Straight?

  1. I don’t agree with everything, particularly not this: “Science prides itself on being apolitical, gender-neutral, and color-blind—open to all, focused only on finding truth.”
    But overall it opens up an important conversation

  2. The author complains that, in scientific research and discussion where it is completely irrelevant, human homosexuality is not mentioned. Do we really think the gay lifestyle must be brought up in every situation?

    1. “Lifestyle”? Irrelevant? Scientific research cannot explain human sexuality unless it accounts for homosexuality. To omit homosexuality is to try and push a backwards political agenda.
