A link to the Wikipedia definition of "polemic" was included because Satinover's book is precisely that.

I suggest you read some of the critical reviews of his book on Amazon.com.

Here is one of them:

1.0 out of 5 stars Here's how to read this book., December 27, 2001 By A Customer This review is from: Homosexuality and the Politics of Truth (Paperback) Everytime you see the word "homosexual," substitute the word "Jew." Whenever you see "homosexuality," substitute the word "Judaism." Then close your eyes and pretend you are in Nazi Germany and you're listening to a lecture about "the Jewish problem." Then go home and read your bible, "Mein Kampf." After all, isn't it the revealed truth?

Not too pretty a picture, is it? When authors write attack books that purport to tell the "truth" about one group, no group is safe.

History has a persistent way of repeating itself.

I borrowed this book out of curiosity. I found little to admire. Read it if you want, but follow my suggestion about substituting words. Got my drift?

 * Do not attack subjects of articles. Ever. The attack has been removed. Also, Amazon reviews are useless here. – Lionel (talk) 22:48, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Lionelt: I find it a bit strange that you more concerned about what you perceive as an "attack" on Satinover than about the way Satinover's writings attack and dehumanize the entire gay and lesbian population. Miamibeachguy (talk) 17:53, 12 March 2012 (UTC)miamibeachguy
