A group of 90 healthy gay and heterosexual adults, men and women, were scanned by the Karolinska Institute scientists to measure the volume of both sides, or hemispheres, of their brain.

When these results were collected, it was found that lesbians and heterosexual men shared a particular "asymmetry" in their hemisphere size, while heterosexual women and gay men had no difference between the size of the different halves of their brain.

Now, I know 90 subjects is hardly a good focus group but still, I found it a bit interesting.

And this is probably why they are gay, they have a woman's brain. So we should accept them, because they can't help what their brain is or how it functions.

Not really.  How your brain is wired would be more correct.
