Bronski, Amico '07 co-author book dispelling LGBT myths

By Hae-Lin Cho | November 5, 2013

With the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community increasingly in the media spotlight, addressing myths about the LGBT community is more necessary than ever, according to three scholarly, activist minds behind the recently published book “‘You Can Tell Just By Looking’ and 20 Other Myths About LGBT Life and People.” The book, co-authored by women’s and gender studies professor Michael Bronski, American studies graduate student at Yale University Michael Amico ’07 and New York University religious studies professor Ann Pellegrini explores 21 American misconceptions about the LGBT community, including dispelling misconceptions that sexual abuse causes homosexuality and that LGBT parents are bad for children. The misconceptions discussed in the book are the most “pernicious” of myths circulating in the media, Amico said. “Just because there’s more that’s being said about it doesn’t mean that it’s any smarter or more nuanced or even more accepting, actually, of an increasingly diverse way of being LGB or T,” he said.
