Dr Lisa Diamond 

Join Lisa Diamond to discuss the implications of sexual fluidity for our understanding of all individuals' sexuality, and I also discuss how the notion of fluidity has been distorted by anti-gay groups advancing an agenda of "repairing" homosexuals by changing their desires.  I conclude by addressing the importance of speaking out againt such anti-gay and anti-scientific agendas.
