This is science paging Simon LeVay

Neuroscientist LeVay, pusher of the idea that gays and straights are different in the hypothalamus, has some possible indirect follow-up confirmation to his work.

New findings say that gay men and straight women, and straight men and lesbian women, have brain similarities in the amygdala and hemispheric symmetry differences.

Researches say they don’t know whether the differences result from genetic issues, or the womb environment. (Prenatologists know that, in many instances, the womb environment is as powerful as all post-partum environmental factors combined, if not more so.)
