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



Rob Anderson explains queer stereotypes and LGBTQ+ culture with humorous "fake science" that borrows from real scientific principles across natural, social, and applied science categories.

Take a deep dive into all things queer with Gay Science and learn the ins and outs of the LGBTQ+ community through this humorous and informative textbook. Author and comedian Rob Anderson borrows the familiar format of middle school science books to explain queer stereotypes and the most important aspects of LGBTQ+ culture.

You'll learn about natural, social, and applied sciences as Rob examines topics like:
How does gaydar work? Why do gay men run like that? Do lesbians hate electricity? What does it mean to be asexual? Are queer people responsible for the hurricanes? and Why do gay parents raise happier kids?

Pulling inspiration from his Gay Science series made famous on his social media channels, Rob recreates some of his most popular episodes here in book form, while also tackling completely new subjects, studying them through his trusted and humorous fake scientific methods.

Gay Science includes:
- 8 different chapter elements that help explain topics including everything from Get PrePared, The Tea, Serving Conclusions, Sequins of Events, The Gloss, Staying Bi-Curious and more
- 24 science topics across the three different fields including chemistry, geology, genetics, botany, anthropology, geography, psychology, sociology, forensics, nutrition, and more!
- 36 infographics that include diagrams, charts, and maps to illustrate the gayest concepts

If you're seeking a fun book to make sense of this very queer world we live in, then look no further than Gay Science. Rob Anderson is here to explain all of the scientific reasonings behind every aspect of LGBTQ+ life, whether you like it or not.
