funny-because-true lines from the Times' gay men and pheromones article:
"Dr. Savic said that she had also studied gay women, but that the data were 'somewhat complicated' and not yet ready for publication."
"She said the Swedish study was extremely interesting, even though 'humans are a terrible experimental subject.'"
and, queer girls = more babies?
"Gay men have fewer children, meaning that in Darwinian terms, any genetic variant that promotes homosexuality should be quickly eliminated from the population. Dr. Hamer believes that such genes may nevertheless persist because, although in men they reduce the number of descendants, in women they act to increase fertility."
food for thought on the gender asymmetries front.
