>The highly acclaimed Journal of Homosexuality is devoted to
>scholarly research on homosexuality, including sexual practices and
>gender roles and their cultural, historical, interpersonal, and
>modern social contexts. In addition to research on human sexuality,
>articles in the journal also explore the political, social, and
>moral implications of research on human sexuality. Unique
>perspectives from the disciplines of law, history, and the
>humanities broaden the scope of the journal even more. Specifically,
>the Journal of Homosexuality has the following goals: to serve the
>allied disciplinary and professional groups represented by
>anthropology, art, history, the law, literature, philosophy,
>politics, religion, and sociology, as well as basic research in the
>biological sciences, medicine, psychiatry, and psychology, to serve
>as a forum for both essentialist and social constructionist views of
>homosexuality, to serve as the scholarly source of materials for
>research and educational programs dealing with homosexuality,
>particularly lesbian and gay studies programs, to serve as a vehicle
>for the dissemination of research on homosexuality throughout the
>world, to confront homophobia through the encouragement of scholarly
>inquiry and the dissemination of sound research. Researchers and
>practitioners interested in current knowledge about human sexuality
>will find every issue of this journal brimming with a balanced
>selection of scholarly and practical articles. Independent scholars,
>professors, students, and lay people as well as clinical
>psychologists, psychiatrists, nurses, social workers, sex
>therapists, criminologists, and lawyers get their information from
>the Journal of Homosexuality. This bold and vital journal is divided
>into three highly readable sections. The first and largest section
>contains articles, often thematic, sometimes of general interest.
>The second section is devoted to reviews of books that report on new
>research. The third section is an annotated bibliography of
>references selected for their importance to research on human
>sexuality, sexual preference, and social sex roles.
