  • ""Ever think about what makes us gay? Straight? Bisexual? Is sexual orientation a lifestyle choice as many insist? Or is scientist Simon LeVay correct when he argues that there is a part of the brain that determines sexual preference? Anatomy of Desire dishes the dirt on this long-standing debate as well as science's history of attempting to define, control, and sometimes even eradicate, same-sex desire. The medical community's 'tainted explanation of homosexuality' is part of the problem, according to psychiatrist Thomas Szasz. 'It's never simply to understand it. It's either to incriminate it, or to excuse it.' Straight culture and the popular media have followed suit. Incisive interviews with leading historians, psychiatrists and academics are artfully juxtaposed with rare archival footage - from 60s drag queens and Stonewall activists to filmed psychotherapeutic 'treatment.' This provocative documentary examines the growing debate on the origins of sexual preference and how it impacts on lesbian and gay rights."--Container."@en
