The Gay Brain

Here is a link to… yep you guessed it… a recent study about gay brains that are structured like those of the opposite sex. Whenever I hear those famed words, “a recent study,” I think to myself, “here we go again.” Whether it be a recent study about the healthy benefits of broccoli or a recent study suggests that coffee is good for your heart, or another recent study that shows broccoli is linked to cancer. I have associated those words in a contradictory way. Yesterday when I heard about the recent coffee is good for your heart study, the reporter included that the study was not paid for by big coffee roasters. I thought that was an interesting way to put my skepticism to rest since the story included pictures from Starbucks, among other big coffee shops.

I did find the gay brain study rather intriguing. For me, being lesbian is like the color of my hair. I can try to change its color, but it always goes back to what it is naturally. I don’t really need a brain scan to tell me that this is biological, but if it helps us get to some scientific conclusion to prove this point, I’m all for it.
