New Study: If Your Hair Curls Counter-Clockwise, You’re Probably a Fag

The study, headed by Professor Michael Bailey at Northwestern University, involved testing the DNA of over 800 sets of brothers in which at least one brother is gay.  It is the largest study conducted of its kind, and the results are expected to further point to the concordance between homosexuality and certain genetic markers including left-handedness, the direction of hair whorls and the number of older brothers one has.

Repeated studies have pointed to higher rates of left-handedness in gay men, and to link between gayness and the counter-clockwise direction of the curls in one’s hair–both of which point to a genetic underpinning for sexuality.  It’s been theorized however that sexuality can not be purely genetic, due both to cases of identical twins in which one is gay and one is not, and studies that have shown that the more boys a mother gives birth to, the greater the likelihood that each successive boy will be homosexual–suggesting that an immune response in the mother’s body may affect male development in utero.

We feel like it’s been at least two decades since we started hearing about the “gay gene,” and far be it for us to say that scientists move really slowly, but scientists really seem to move kind of fucking slowly, are we wrong!?

Anyhow, you may have caught the 60 Minutes segment below from last year, which discusses the underfunded field of sexuality research (also see Part 2 here).
