As gay couples race to the altar in California this week, scientists may have found an answer to the so-called gay paradox. Studies suggest that homosexuality is at least partly genetic. And although homosexuals have far fewer children than heterosexuals, so-called gay genes apparently survive in the population. A new study bolsters support for an intriguing idea: These same genes may increase fertility in women.

Popes and scientist can put their debate on homosexuality to rest. While priests argued that homosexuality was a matter of choice and a sin, scientists were still finding a reason behind the ‘similars attract’ phenomena in homosexuals.
Finally a simple discovery resulting from brain scan has unveiled the reason behind the same sex attraction in gays and lesbians.
It has been found that shape of the human brain is the reason behind an individual’s sexual orientation

What makes people gay? Biologists may never get a complete answer to that question, but researchers in Sweden have found one more sign that the answer lies in the structure of the brain. 


Homosexual couples shed light on power sharing in relationships

When Vermont legalized gay marriage, psychologists jumped on the opportunity to study human relationships. About a thousand heterosexual and homosexual couples participated in a study on relationships.
In general, homosexual relationships were more egalitarian, whereas in heterosexual ones the women got a disproportionate amount of the housework (and initiating conversations about relationship upkeep) and the men got a disproportionate amount of the financial responsibility. In addition, the homosexual couples argued better

Maybe it's a big bomb in the field of "gay" infection. 


Homosexuality is not solely genetic! ...at least not in fruit flies.

The researchers were examining a particular glutamate regulator gene solely because of the things that it does to synapses and neurotransmitters and created a line of mutant fruit flies in which this gene is inactive. During the study, they noticed that their male altered flies where buzzing around other males just as eagerly as around females. They had turned the flies bisexual. They named the gene "genderblind."
By then, though, they had a pretty good idea of how GB altered the flies' synapses and neural pathways 


Neural Correlates of Sexual Arousal in Homosexual and Heterosexual Men.

Men exhibit much higher levels of genital and subjective arousal to sexual stimuli containing their preferred sex than they do to stimuli containing only the nonpreferred sex. This study used event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging to investigate how this category-specific pattern would be reflected in the brains of homosexual (n = 11) and heterosexual (n = 11) men.
