Gay Science: The Totally Scientific Examination of LGBTQ+ Culture, Myths, and Stereotypes

Drawing from natural, social, and formal sciences, author and comedian Anderson addresses questions and stereotypes like why gays can’t allegedly sit properly and if colleges turn people bisexual. He also explores gaydar, the survival of the gay uncle species, and the unique bacteria and viruses affecting the LGBTQ+ community. Inspired by his viral “Gay Science” series, Anderson recreates popular episodes in a literary format and tackles subjects with evidence-based data.

Gay Science covers many different science fields, including biology, chemistry, physics, genetics, botany, nutrition, astronomy, anthropology, oceanography, sociology, criminology, engineering, computer science, and more. Diagrams, charts, illustrations, and maps help illustrate complex concepts. Anderson aims to rectify educational shortcomings by providing scientific explanations for LGBTQ+ life.
