A professor of developmental
psychology for Cornell University’s Department of Human Development,

health of sexual-minority youth.
A licensed clinical
psychologist, Savin-Williams has served as an expert witness on same-sex
marriage, gay adoption, and Boy Scout court cases and as a consultant for MTV,
20/20, and CNN. His work has been cited in Newsweek, Time, Rolling Stone,
Utne Reader, Fortune, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, USA
Today, and Chicago Sun Times.
