Abstract

In this essay Lyne's theory of “bio-rhetoric” and Longino's theory of “background beliefs” are combined to provide an argumentative analysis of the biological research on male homosexuality. Because this research reflects a “background belief” about male homosexual effeminacy, it may not serve as an effective “bio-rhetoric” for the advancement of gay rights.
