Strickland, Bonnie R.
Developmental Psychology, v31 n1 p137-40 Jan 1995
Reviews the evolution of research over the past 25 years on sexual orientation and its effects on human development, concluding that gay and lesbian interests and behavior appear to result from a complex interplay of genetic, prenatal, and environmental influences. Notes that gender identity develops early, especially for males, and is difficult to change. (MDM)
