Against nature? Against homophoby! 2

Alcuni suggerimenti di lettura ed approfondimento.

A conclusione degli articoli del nostro inviato al Festival della Scienza di Genova, una breve bibliografia per affrontare il tema omosessualità nel mondo animale.

Con un ringraziamento particolare a Giuliano Rocca, animatore della mostra all’interno del Festival della Scienza (23 Ottobre 2008-4 Novembre 2008) e fonte della bibliografia seguente, vi presentiamo alcuni testi per iniziare una buona lettura sull’argomento, dopo aver visitato la mostra!
