The American, Time magazine/CNN version -

A lovely story. Really. Goes a long way to say that homosexuality is biological. Great. Gay men’s brains are more like straight women’s, and gay women’s brains are more like straight men’s.
But then, look at this, the Toronto Star version of the same story -
http://www. thestar. com/article/444461
“important new proof that people are born gay”
“So in fact there’s a (genetic) predisposition”
“should erode the moral judgments”
“rebut any argument that it is a mere lifestyle choice”
Why was there absolutely no mention of this in the Time piece? We’ve known since the early 90s that gay brains are structured differently, that they work differently. Cons have always argued that they’re made that way by constantly repeated “devious” choices. The fact that this study blows that to pieces is the truly groundbreaking, game-altering news. How the hell could the American press just forget to mention that?
Some people are just ignorant. In the dark ages, the DSM described homosexuality as a pathology. Now, it’s not even mentioned. (I think, should double check that before making such assertive statements, really. Just what I heard.)
