This erudite discussion about the biology of sexual orientation, and particularly the portion about Samoa, is revealing and thought-provoking. The educational value here is undeniable, and should be an eye-opener for those in this society who still regard gay men and women as second-class citizens - or worse. This is the salient point of my recently released biographical novel, Broken Saint. It is based on my forty-year friendship with a gay man, and chronicles his internal and external struggle for acceptance. You can learn more about the book at www.eloquentbooks.com/BrokenSaint.html.
