I’m guessing the “why” is for market research. Probably to market lesbian perfumes or something.

Are you gonna let Jessica Hahn beat you to Artie???
Even IF 95% of the WNBA was gay what they’re doing is STILL good for Amerikkka…though you’re my favourite Jewess YOU got a lot of GUT that keeps you out of the 10’s…a little EXCERCISE goes a LONG way!!!
Whislt i don’t dig the holocaustic “babes” as Stern does, let’s be real—MOST women today make Okrah Winfrey look like Twiggy—so ANY sport that captures the imaginations of young girls SHOULD be encouraged

This study reeks of a “study” slanted to promote the LIBERAL agenda about homosexuality being genetic rather than selective.
This study is suggesting that the lesbian brain acts just as a heterosexual males brain when it comes to arousal, hence, it’s genetic.
If anyone who believes the veracity of this study probably also believes in the veracity of the Kinsey Report.

PHONY STUDY ALERT
I quote;”Twelve women identified as strongly homosexual were subjected to brain scans while the scientists presented an array of aromas, in particular a sample of male and female sex hormones.”
So based on 12 woman we all are supposed to believe this is a legitimate study?
This is a Bogus Study, no scientist would put their reputation on the line with a sample that small. Wanna bet they pre-loaded the sample too?
The press must think we all flunked out of college.

What’s wrong with the WNBA? What does it have to do with lesbianism (not that there’s anything wrong with that)? Is it because your breast implants get in the way of playing any serious sports, or any other substantial career opportunities?

Nothing necessarily wrong with WNBA, but it’s a joke. The real basketball league, NBA, has gone out of their way to promote it and it still gets lousy ratings.
Katie, you are ignorant asking what lesbos and the WNBA have to do with each other.
One attention starved goof might not think so, but Debbie is a “10” and beyond. The WNBA hasn’t captured anyone’s imagination.

This type of study causes problems for both “sides”. If homosexuality is genetic, then we must accept this ‘trait’ (or defect as some people may want to identify it). Furthermore, if it is genetic, could it be genetically ‘cured’? And if it could be genetically detected in the womb, would a parent choose to ‘abort’ their fetus based on this information? Slippery slope all around.
I miss Debbie on Howard Sirius. What’s up with that?

Turns out the AP made up the whole thing about lesbians having a physical underpinning or genetic origin. Another phony story by the AP.
Dr. Ivanka Savic of the Stockholm Brain Institute said of the AP interpretation of her work, “This is incorrect and not stated in the paper.”
AP Writer said;””It’s a finding that adds weight to the idea that homosexuality has a physical underpinning and is not learned behavior.”
Dr. Ivanka Savic says;”THIS IS INCORRECT AND NOT STATED IN THE PAPER”
