Queer by choice : lesbians, gay men, and the politics of identity
Whisman, VeraNew York : Routledge, 1996.This book discusses the issue that there might be hereditary component to gay and lesbian sexuality and analyses to what extent factors such as race, class and religion play in choice of sexual identity.Queer by Choice concerns itself with the determination of individual sexual identity. Recently, medical findings were made public which suggest that there might be a hereditary component to sexual identity. Whisman's study enters this very controversial debate by examining choice in gay men and lesbian sexual identity. Drawing on interviews with a sample of people, Whisman analyzes if, and to what extent choice played a role in determining identity accounts. The author considers how choice is affected by such factors as race, class, religion, and educational level.
