Gay Brains

According to a new study by researchers at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, the differences between gay and straight people extend beyond the sexual and into the structure of the brain itself. Among straight men, the right half of the brain is slightly larger than the left. In women, the two halves are roughly equal. But it turns out that gay men have a brain structure more similar to straight women's, and the opposite is true of gay women. The differences aren't as clear-cut as that abstract picture suggests. For instance, a gay man's brain, while similar to a straight woman's, still retains several masculine traits. Unless, of course, you're talking about Little Richard. And this research also doesn't explain why I, a straight man, still want to have sex with Eric Bana. More details here.
