The End of Gay: And the Death of Heterosexuality

At the crux of Sex Without Borders is the question: "Why do we persist in defining ourselves by our sexual behaviors?" Written by a young man for a new generation of readers—one with radically different formative experiences—this book will be popular and controversial for its answer, and for its commonsensical defense of polymorphous sexual desire. Featuring gay and lesbian publications, this intriguing debut from columnist and reviewer Bert Archer is a timely, fun and healthy read.
