How do foetuses behave homosexually?

Did they look at the brain structure of unborn children? Is there any difference between the brain structure of unborn children who later grow up to be gay, and between those who are straight?

I thought it was just that they look good on me.

Some of the hormonal anomalies associated with homosexuality are also associated with left-handedness, BTW.

There is thus a fairly strong correlation between being left-handed, being gay and being brilliant.

Two for three isn't bad. Lucky I dodged that homo-bullet.

Man, you are seriously deluded...

I think I just turned 1% more gay after reading this thread

No, only since the late 80s.

AFAIK, these structures have only been observed in adult males. It's unlikely they'e looked for them in young boys, to see whether the brain structure is a result or a cause of homosexuality.

It's hard to tell how accurate these surveys comparing homosexual brains and heterosexual brains. The thing is due to a repressive society, many homosexuals aren't going to be out of the closet. The only homosexuals you are going to be able to study are those who are quite open about their sexual orientation, and we don't know if the brains of gays who are out of the closet are different from those who are still closeted. You could have a selection at problem at work here which makes these comparisons difficult.

They don't cry at birth if the doctor is male.

Now, this is from memory of my conversation with her, but I thought this information was important enough to share here.

I'm so glad you shared this- this explains the irrational need I have to dress as Bette Davis and weep uncontrollably at reruns of 'Knot's Landing'.

Yes, clearly those people who decapitate themselves will be unable to get much further use out of their brain.


I nominate a few Christian and Muslim fundamentalists to test this hypothesis....

i'd like to give it a go for a week or so, just to see if my deluded vision of how great it must be is true

Still i wonder if its something that can be changed ever after those formative years? and changed back? hmmm if this is proven to be absolutly true, then science will probably be able to fix it?
