Study: Homosexuality determined at birth

[Blu-ray]

This article is about research performed in Sweden comparing the brains of Males and females, straight and homosexual. The key important part:

"I think this is just more evidence that the behaviors are linked to things that are hardwired at birth," says Sneary.

Another part talks about the brain scans and comparing them:

Colored areas in his diagrams show that straight male's brains are similar to those in the lesbian's and gay male's brain activity is similar to that of a straight woman's brain.

I'm glad that they're highly publicizing this, the effort they put into the research
should only accentuate the genetics over choice argument that the fundies are
always tossing about.

But, I'd like to see a bigger study. 90 people isn't a lot. Not that it makes me
doubt it, it's just not a very large testing pool.

I'm kind of really not happy with a limited comparison of men to lesbians
and gay men to women. I think I would much prefer kind of a no comparison
(these things are similar) and the use of individuality. A scientific delineation
that gay men have a specific brain design and chemistry, that lesbians have
a specific brain design and chemistry, that straight men have a specific
design and chemistry and that straight women have a specific design and
brain chemistry. All this is doing in a way is indicating "gay men are women",
"lesbians are men" or at least that's the way it's going to be perceived. As
everyone knows, there are those gay men who have decidedly feminine traits.
There are many more that don't. There are plenty of lesbians that don't act
masculine.

It's all kind of indicative of no less than 4 genders at this point, and possibly
more...because they didn't even address bisexuality.

It's a good start though.
