LONDON (Reuters) - Gay men and straight women share some characteristics in the area of the brain responsible for emotion, mood and anxiety, researchers said on Monday in a study highlighting the potential biological underpinning of sexuality.

Brain scans also showed the same symmetry among lesbians and straight men, the researchers wrote in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

"The observations cannot be easily attributed to perception or behavior," the researchers from Sweden's Karolinska Institute wrote. "Whether they may relate to processes laid down during the fetal or postnatal development is an open question." ~snip

Cause and effect there?
"open minded" libs will do whatever it takes to justify their abhorant behaviour, won't they?

:D

The researchers added that the study cannot say whether the differences in brain shape are inherited or due to exposure to hormones such as testosterone in the womb and if they are responsible for sexual orientation.

Just an observation from the article.

those kinds of observations aren't of concern to folk who gain their faith in falsehoods by clever headlines, Crin. :)

Sounds like a brain defect or a retarded growth of brain tissue ......... if in the wild, a man with a woman's brain would have a hard time surviving, he would have no logic or sense of direction and would walk around in circles arguing with himself about whose job it is to hunt or gather. See.... "The Man With Two Brains", he was useless.:laugh2::laugh2::laugh2:

Like most studies of homosexuals it is not very scientific, they have a goal to prove that their defect is perfectly natural and isn't a defect. They should be trying to discover how this defect has a purpose that is evolutionary.

If it is inherited, it still cannot be the persons fault, and if it's because of exposure to testosterone, it still cannot be the fault of the gay person. If anything, it's the fault of the mother.

It's more proof that sexuality isn't chosen, which is what homosexuals have been saying for years.

Its more of a personal point, It it obvious that gay males are like women, but hey as long as tax dollars aren't used, they can study why skunks smell bad for all i care :laugh2:

Don't avoid the subject or the responsibility, Dynamo.

The question at hand is "How many of YOUR tax dollars supported this report"? I would suggest that you spent not a cent on this report. Do you disagree? Personal point noted.

I agree with what you said. I have no clue who funded it,

Obviously you didn't read the article, Dynamo.

It was written and funded in the merry ol' state of England. What more can I say?

Brain cancer isn't a sexuality.

But, but, some here think it is the same thing, Sharon.



Brain cancer isn't a sexuality.

Take it in stride and with humility. That is your safest path for your continued participation, if you know what I mean?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

If something is inherited does that make it right?

All of my family is obese does that make it inherited or just bad choices? I've chosen not to be obese. I have to struggle to keep my weight down.

My dad had the same volatile temper that my grandfather had is that ok? I have it as well but I control it. I don't let it control me.

Now are those things physical, mental or learned? I cant say, but I can control how they affect my life.

Most of the women that I have known or known about that are lesbians had either volatile dads, volatile ex-husbands or mothers that were radical feminists that don't need any man, actually hated their dads and bad mouthed them all the time. It seems to me that they grew up fearing or hating men and so it naturally led them in another direction. Obviously thats not every case but it is a fairly wide margin of the ones I know of. My aunt, my aunts partner, a friend, a friends niece and others I heard about but cannot substantiate all had the same problem, volatile mean men in their lives.
