Quotes by Walter L. Williams  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Because it is such a powerful force in the world today, the Western Judeo-Christian tradition is often accepted as the arbiter of 'natural' behavior of humans. If Europeans and their descendant nations of North America accept something as normal, then anything different is seen as abnormal. Such a view ignores the great diversity of human experience.”
Walter L. Williams, The Spirit and the Flesh: Sexual Diversity in American Indian Culture
