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.

Take a deep dive into all things queer with Gay Science and learn the ins and outs of the LGBTQ+ community through this humorous and informative textbook. 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.

Captain Anderson first went to sea as a deck apprentice in British flag ships when he was 15. After many years serving around the world as an Officer in general cargo, container, salvage, and passenger ships he gained his first command of a Foreign-going ship at age 29, one of the youngest in Australia. He served for 40 years as Master (Class 1, unlimited) in a wide range of ships including ro-ro vessels, oilrigs and specialized diving-support ships.

Captain Anderson also gained a license as a Great Barrier Reef and Torres Strait Marine Pilot piloting a wide range of ships of every size and shape in the Reef for 12 years, before again returning to sea as an Unlimited DP Master. He has also held a Private Pilot (Aeroplane) License for more than 30 years and has lectured part-time over 10 years proudly helping nearly 400 seafarers gain their Master 4 Certificates.

These days he lives on a small farm, rides high performance motorcycles and works part-time as a pole-dancer in a gay nightclub. When The Ship Hits the Fan is his first book.
