Meet-and-Greet with Rob Anderson
Tue, Apr 23 at 7pm
Rob Anderson visits Seattle to celebrate the release of Gay Science, an examination of queer stereotypes and LGBTQ+ culture with humorous explanations borrowed from real principles across multiple fields of science.
Each ticket comes with a copy of the book, to be picked up onsite the night of the event. Please note that this event will take place at Queer/Bar, right up the street from Elliott Bay Book Company at 1518 11th Ave.
ABOUT THE BOOK
In Gay Science, author and comedian Rob Anderson borrows the familiar science textbook format to skewer ridiculous queer stereotypes with his own version of science.
Using the principles of natural, social, and formal sciences, Rob answers extremely serious questions like: Why can’t gays sit in a chair properly? Why don’t lesbians have electricity in their movies? Are colleges turning people bisexual? How does gaydar work? Will bottoms survive the apocalypse?
You’ll read about the three subtypes of the gay uncle species, examine the Periodic Table of LGBTQ+ Elements, understand gay crime and punishment, and get educated on the types of bacteria and viruses that exclusively affect the LGBTQs, like the state of Florida.
Inspired by his viral “Gay Science” series, Rob recreates some of his most popular episodes in a literary format, and also tackles completely fresh subjects, presenting them with super empirical and totally evidence-based homosexual data.
Rob Anderson is course-correcting decades of educational shortcomings by explaining the scientific reasonings behind every aspect of LGBTQ+ life. If you’re looking for a fun book that will probably be banned (if it isn’t already), add Gay Science to your personal lesson plan.
