Gay men, straight women share brain detail: report 40 minutes ago

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."

A number of studies have looked at the roles genetic, biological and environmental factors play in sexual orientation but little evidence exists that any plays an all-important role. Many scientists believe both nature and nurture play a part.

Brain scans of 90 volunteers showed that the brains of heterosexual men and homosexual women were slightly asymmetric with the right hemisphere slightly larger than the left, Ivanka Savic and Pers Lindstrom wrote. The brains of gay men and heterosexual women were not. .....(more at http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080616/lf_nm_life/brain_gay_dc )

"Brain scans also showed the same symmetry among lesbians and straight men,..."
Does that mean that if I convert a lesbian to hetro, then I'd get a woman who isn't crazy?

Is that the cause -- or the effect -- or homosexual behavior?

There are a whole lot of guys who will dip their wick in just about anything (think prisons). I don’t think they have the same kind of brain pattern as women.

And the frantic search continues for the "they were born that way" excuse for what is clearly a derangement.
So, why is there no parallel attempt to find a physiological reason for all the other sexual disorders? They must have been born that way also?

Aha! So straight women should have gay men friends to discuss their emotions with and not bother trying to make their husbands “understand” them. Makes perfect sense. Seriously.

This was the impetus for Sex and the City. All they did was make the central cast women to market it.

Another attempt to “medicalize” deviance so that they can receive legitimacy by forcing their life style upon us by claiming discrimination for a biological condition by exploiting disability laws.

1. GEEZ

Sounds like they're afraid they might be gay......

[Clark2008]

4. The sound very misogynist, as well

The comments about women are extremely sexist.

[rfranklin]

2. I want to "shove it down their throats!"

Hope they choke on gay marriage.

[chknltl]

3. So THAT's where the Neanderthals got off to.

Attn lurking freepers: The world is round...no, not like a pizza, but more like a basketball. No-really, google it if you ain't so sure, then let yer chums in on it. Check back with me periodically and I'll hook ya up with other cool stuff...

[jody]

5. How did they react to Obama's promise, "As your President, I will use the bully pulpit to urge

states to treat same-sex couples with full equality in their family and adoption laws".

See Obama promises to dedicate presidency to homosexual activism

Who cares what freepers say, they will never vote for Obama anyway. :puke:

[Manifestor_of_Light]

10. It's in the Constitution......DUHHHHH

It's called the Full Faith and Credit Clause.

You get married on California, you move to Wisconsin, and your marriage is STILL VALID, because each state must respect the laws of all other states.

This is the exact scenario that led to the banning of laws against interracial marriage in Loving versus Virginia. The Lovings got married in D.C. and moved to Virginia which had a law against interracial marriage. Full Faith and Credit Clause as well as the right to privacy.

That's what they are afraid of -- New York, California and Massachusetts accept gay marriage as valid.

[jody]

14. "each state must respect the laws of all other states" then NY and MA must respect my states license

to carry a concealed firearm.

Is that your interpretation of the Constitution?

[mainegreen]

6. 'Metros'?

Metros?

Urban men who dress well?
What's that got to do with sexuality?

[Javaman]

9. You have to understand the fundie FR mentality...

anyone that knows how to tie their own shoes is a metro to them! LOL

[chknltl]

7. Petition in support of same sex marriage to POTUS candidates

The California Supreme Court recently deemed denying same-sex couples the right to marry unconstitutional, paving the way for same-sex marriage in the state. New York's governor David Paterson also recently decided to recognize same-sex marriages lawfully performed in other states and countries. These are important steps in the ongoing fight for marriage equality.

Every couple - regardless of sexual orientation - deserves the benefits that marriage brings, including equal rights to health care and the primary caregiver status. Voice your support of same-sex marriage to presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama

[AntiFascist]

8. Where is Pat Robertson on all this?

Why isn't he blaming all the floods and tornadoes in the Midwest on,er, gay marriage in California?

[Monk06]

11. God is wreaking revenge for the failed Anti Gay Constitutional Amendment

in Kansas in 2004. OK took some time to get the
flood thing happening by what the hey.

[SoCalDem]

12. They must be very weak if all these gay people are FORCING

freepers to be gay too :evilgrin:...:rofl:

[and-justice-for-all]

13. Bobkk47 sure does talk to him/herself a lot....

what a fuck up.

This schmuck would not know what 'Gay' was, even if they were pointing a 9mm in their face.

"Another attempt to “medicalize” deviance so that they can receive legitimacy by forcing their life style upon us by claiming discrimination for a biological condition by exploiting disability laws."

Really? where do they come up with this shit?

Wanna talk about forcing lifestyles upon people? How about that ridiculous bible life style bullshit. They get a tax break for claiming they have an invisible friend, talk about exploiting the system.

And BobKKK47, I do not have a disorder. But I am sure you talk to yourself and think that some thing is watching you.
