‘New Atlantis’ editors push back after gay advocacy group bashes homosexuality study
Editors of the New Atlantis , a scholarly journal "devoted to science and technology issues and their relation to social and political affairs," are defending two authors against an onslaught of gay accusations. A review of research studies and scientific literature on homosexuality summarized by Dr. Lawrence S. Mayer and Dr. Paul R. McHugh , entitled “ Sexuality and Gender: Findings from the Biological, Psychological, and Social Sciences ,” has come under vehement condemnation by the pro-homosexual advocacy group, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC). Dr. Mayer is a scholar in residence in the Department of Psychiatry and Dr. McHugh is University distinguished professor of psychiatry at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine . According to its website, the Human Rights Campaign is "the largest national lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer" ( LGBTQ ) gay activist organization and political lobbying group in the United States , claimin
