Gay Brain
Scientists have discovered that the size of your brain is linked to your sexual orientation. The researchers also claim that the results have a biological basis, and “cannot be primarily ascribed to learned effects” (In other words, working the muscle through cognition isn’t what pumps it up). Also, in doing PET scans of the amygdala, the part of the brain that governs fear and aggression, it was discovered that “the connectivity differences reported in the amygdala are striking.”
Questions:
-So gays and women have “symmetrical” brains while lesbians and straight men have a swollen right brain. Also, emotional responses as regulated by the amygdala show striking differences between the two groups. Does this give credence to the argument that gay men are “more female than male” and “lesbians “more male than female?” I have a feeling that the media is going to latch on to this “finding” much more than they did the research that determined gay men have, on average, larger penises than straight men.
-Dare I say it, what about bisexuals?

Ummm Benny: Where is the article that says gays have larger penises??!
I had to laugh out loud at your closing line.
thank you
The study on big gay dicks made the rounds some years back. I suppose you could google it. I don't remember anything about the methadology or the response.
Seems like a good time to remind everyone of the "lesbians have longer ring fingers than index fingers" research of a few years back, which also pointed to angrogen levels in the womb.
jenny, your comment, and my subsequent finger inspection has just made me question my own sexuality.
this is redundant science anyways. we all know that you can identify a gay by their hair "whorl". failing that you refer to their index/pointer finger ratio.
and remember those gay fruit flies? or rather, the straight fruit flies who were tricked into being gay fruit flies. what happened to those guys?
yummmm, dick sandwich.
