• Homophobe: A Logical Response to an Ignorant Ideology on April 23, 2013
  
  This little book is indeed a "nuclear weapon in the culture wars" as indicated by one of the manuscript readers. J. J. Morrow has laid to rest, completely, and with eloquence and gentle dignity, the idea that various kinds of intimate interactions between adults, regardless of gender, are somehow "un-natural." As Morrow shows clearly, by examining the voluminous scientific literature on mating behavior, same-sex interactions are common throughout the animal kingdom. But the author goes far beyond such documentation in this small but powerful book by addressing psychological issues. However, the most important aspect of this book is the personal experience, as a Texas-born Christian, that she brings to the narrative. HOMOPHOBE is a must read!!
