The right-wingers are going to hate this new scientific study....but,wait, they hate all science. Seems gay men are biologically different. Here's AP's take(linked thru the Spokane Spokesman-Review, my new favorite paper):
The sexual area of a gay man's brain works a lot like that of a woman when exposed to a particular stimulus, researchers say.NY Times has a wonkier article which appeared on the front page of the print edition.
In an experiment, men and heterosexual women sniffed a chemical from the male hormone testosterone. The homosexual men's brains responded differently from those of heterosexual males, and in a similar way to the women's brains.
"It is one more piece of evidence ... that is showing that sexual orientation is not all learned," said Sandra Witelson, an expert on brain anatomy and sexual orientation at the Michael G. DeGroote School of Medicine at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada.
So, it really is about the chemistry....and, this may explain my pathetic dating life. With my allergies, I can't smell anything.
