The Science of Gaydar

[liveonearth]

It turns out that gays are different from heteros in a number of minor ways....finger length, hair whorl direction, handedness....not that it all adds up to anything decisive, but it is interesting all the stuff that people are studying in relation to gayness. I wish there were some broad endocrinological studies, of the mothers during pregnancy, of the developing children, and of the sexually identified adults. I think hormones are the main reason why some people are gay, though of course there can be many factors.

Here's an interesting article, by a gay man, about the difference:

Interesting. Since I work with gay men, transvestites, and transgenders on the island, I should have ample time to study this on my own. Not to mention on the 24th when I take time off work to go to the Gay Pride Parade. I'll try to send you some photos. One of my co-workers will be in it; he's driving a float full of gay porn stars. Imagine!!

Hmmmmm.....a float full of gay porn stars......I am imagining. I always enjoy gay events. Seems like the homos really know how to relax, play, laugh....not so uptight. Though there are individuals. I guess where you are there are probably more "OUT" gays than most places. Lots of people hiding in the closet, here in the good ole boy west.
