Tufts Study Shows Gaydar is Almost Instant


A new study by Tufts University shows that people can identify others' sexual orientation after looking at them for just seconds.

According to ScienceBlogs.com, researchers used college students in a test to accurately identify gay men based on 90 photos from dating websites. None of the men in the photos — half of whom were seeking male partners, the other half seeking females — had facial hair, jewelry, glasses, or other accessories.

The study's authors said the reason people may have keen gaydar is so heterosexual women can find a suitable mate and so that men can easily identify their competition.

Just like always, the straights think it all about them. Rather than just conclude that all people if they bother to notice have the ability to find suitable partners. so like celebit priests, not for holiness but for property rights, and hetero marriage, also a form of property rights the straights are revising the human story to fit their own agenda.
