Great article on two recent studies (hadn’t heard about the 2nd one in the article til I read it). Recent studies show the hypothalamus (related to sexual activity in the brain) of gay men and straight women responds to pheremones in testosterone, while only straight men responded to estrogen-based pheremones (the study of lesbians in the study was not yet complete they said).
Furthermore, a 2nd study shows gay men’s brains responded to the odors from other gay men more strongly than that of other men, and straight women’s brains did not react as strongly to gay men’s odors as they did straight men’s odors.
So, it’s becoming ever more clear being gay is not a choice. Our bodies are literally hard-wired to work this way. Discrimination based on who I biologically am is extremely wrong. We must all work together to stop anti-gay legislation!
I knew I smelled something!
