Author and comedian Rob Anderson borrows the familiar format of middle school science books to explain queer stereotypes and the most important aspects of LGBTQ+ culture. You'll learn about natural, social, and applied sciences as Rob examines topics like: How does gaydar work? Why do gay men run like that? Do lesbians hate electricity? What does it mean to be asexual? Are queer people responsible for the hurricanes? and Why do gay parents raise happier kids? Pulling inspiration from his Gay Science series made famous on his social media channels, Rob recreates some of his most popular episodes here in book form, while also tackling completely new subjects, studying them through his trusted and humorous fake scientific methods. Gay Science includes: - 8 different chapter elements that help explain topics including everything from Get PrePared, The Tea, Serving Conclusions, Sequins of Events, The Gloss, Staying Bi-Curious and more - 24 science topics across the three different fields including chemistry, geology, genetics, botany, anthropology, geography, psychology, sociology, forensics, nutrition, and more! - 36 infographics that include diagrams, charts, and maps to illustrate the gayest concepts If you're seeking a fun book to make sense of this very queer world we live in, then look no further than Gay Science. Rob Anderson is here to explain all of the scientific reasonings behind every aspect of LGBTQ+ life, whether you like it or not. Rob Anderson explains queer stereotypes and LGBTQ+ culture with humorous "fake science" that borrows from real scientific principles across natural, social, and applied science categories.

Comedian Rob Anderson examines queer stereotypes and LGBTQ+ culture with humorous explanations borrowed from real principles across multiple fields of science.
Class is in session, babe! Discover the inner workings of the LGBTQ+ community with this humorous and informative book. Author and comedian Rob Anderson borrows the familiar science textbook format to skewer ridiculous queer stereotypes with his own version of science.
Using the principles of natural, social, and formal sciences, Rob answers extremely serious questions like: Why can’t gays sit in a chair properly? Why don’t lesbians have electricity in their movies? Are colleges turning people bisexual? How does gaydar work? Will bottoms survive the apocalypse?
You’ll read about the three subtypes of the gay uncle species, examine the Periodic Table of LGBTQ+ Elements, understand gay crime and punishment, and get educated on the types of bacteria and viruses that exclusively affect the LGBTQs, like the state of Florida.
Inspired by his viral “Gay Science” series, Rob recreates some of his most popular episodes in a literary format, and also tackles completely fresh subjects, presenting them with super empirical and totally evidence-based homosexual data.
Gay Science includes:
- Coverage of 60 topics across 29 fields of science including biology, chemistry, physics, genetics, botany, nutrition, astronomy, anthropology, oceanography, sociology, criminology, engineering, computer science, and more!
- Informative sidebars including Get PrePared, The Tea, Serving Conclusions, The Gloss, Yas or Naur, Fagtoids, and A Lesbian Explains.
- Diagrams, charts, illustrations, and maps to explain the gayest concepts.
Rob Anderson is course-correcting decades of educational shortcomings by explaining the scientific reasonings behind every aspect of LGBTQ+ life. If you’re looking for a fun book that will probably be banned (if it isn’t already), add Gay Science to your personal lesson plan.
