Default Biological Findings

http://www.newscientist.com/channel/...ine-news_rss20

New research showing that the brains of gay men are in some ways like that of hetero women, and that of lesbians are like those of straight men.

But we knew that already, right?

Let the disussion begin!

Thanks for the link Daniel. But since homosexuality is a choice, doesn't this study just prove that fetuses in the womb choose these brains?

This is interesting on various levels, but Rick brings up a good point. A tangent thought would be what kind of brain, if one at all, is chosen by people who become rabidly homophobic.

I believe the correct term is "feti in the womb," as in this case, "doesn't this study just prove that feti in the womb choose these brains?"

Of course that's ridiculous, they don't. They only choose the propensity to develop those brains.

As has been my personal experience with reincarnation, it would make perfect sense that the brains of females in male bodies (homosexual men), would developmentally "wire" themselves in the same way that heterosexual female brains would. And vice versa.

And if my "memory" serves, then these anti-gay pupmeisters waging war against us, are sccrreeeeewwed.

Karmically speaking of course.

Carry on..

My friend and coworker told me all about this study today. She said it was on NPR National Public Radio. I was going to look it up but here it was. I am SO excited as now they have found differences, they can't keep it hidden forever, these studies.
