Responses to sex hormones more similar to those of heterosexual men

WASHINGTON - Lesbians’ brains react differently to sex hormones than those of heterosexual women.

An earlier study of gay men also showed their brain response was different from straight men — an even stronger difference than has now been found in lesbians.

Lesbians’ brains reacted somewhat, though not completely, like those of heterosexual men, a team of Swedish researchers said in Tuesday’s edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

A year ago, the same group reported findings for gay men that showed their brain response to hormones was similar to that of heterosexual women..."

1. I figured there was a biological basis for homosexuality

It's not a "lifestyle choice" if it's encoded into your very genetic make-up.

3. A close up of cellular morphology in the lesbain brain showed:

4. So I guess this is just more proof that

homosexuality is not a "choice of lifestyles"

5. My God...

6. It seems to me it could be a learned response.

To be valid - it seems like they would need to see if there was a difference in people at age 14 - 15 and then see 10 years later what their orientation was - and if there was a different response.

7. I already figured out how they would spin this. . .

The wingnuts will likely say that the only similarity between lesbian women and heterosexual men is that they both fantasize about two women making out. . .the lesbian thinks about being one of the people making out, and the heterosexual man thinks of being a sort of stunt double who moves in when the women are appropriately "warmed up."

Ok...ok...I was making a joke....
