Scientists support gays
In 1978 the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the very large and prestigious interdisciplinary association of professional scientists, passed a resolution affirming that a scientist's work should be evaluated independently of his or her sexual orientation. The following year the National Meeting of the AAAS included a scholarly symposium on methodological problems of research on homosexuality, and at the 146th National Meeting, held this past January in San Francisco, there was a symposium on "Problems Arising from Homophobia in the Scientific Workplace." A panel of six lesbian and gay scientists gave presentations to an audience of about fifty.
One of the symposiasts, clinical psychologist Allan Malyon of Los Angeles, called attention to an anti-gay book, Helen Singer Kaplan's Disorders of Sexual Desire, that carries a cover blurb quoting a highly favorable review in Science, the journal of the
AAAS, without attributing it to the individual reviewer, thus implying endorsement by the AAAS as a whole. Bruce Kiernan,. director of the AAAS Human Rights Office, promised to investigate the possibility of legal action against the publisher of the book..
After the symposium, there, was an informal meeting of participants at which a new group, the National Organization of Lesbian and Gay Scientists, was established. For information, please write to Jeffrey Escoffier, 3195 16th Street, San Francisco, CA 94103. (GCN)
On a related note, there is in preparation an anthology of essays "exploring the experience of gay men and lesbians who are students and professionals in the sciences" edited by Michael Young and Larry White. Potential contributors should write to Messrs. Young and White, P.O. Box 1137, Chapel Hill, NC 27514, for a detailed prospectus. Please include an indication of your particular scientific background and proposed area of contribution.
