The brains of gay men resemble those of straight women, according to research published Tuesday that provides more evidence of the role of biology in sexual orientation.
Using brain-scanning equipment, researchers said they discovered similarities in the brain circuits that deal with language, perhaps explaining why homosexual men tend to outperform straight men on verbal skills tests, as do heterosexual women.
The area of the brain that processes emotions also looked much the same in gay men and straight women, and both groups have higher rates of depressive disorders than heterosexual men, researchers said.

Gay men tended to have brains that were more like those of straight women than of straight men — the right and left sides were about the same size, the researchers found. Gay women's brains tended to be more like those of straight men than of straight women — the right side tended to be slightly larger than the left.

Most experts agree that sexual orientation is not a choice and, therefore, cannot be changed. Some people who are homosexual or bisexual may hide their sexual orientation and/or live as heterosexuals to avoid the prejudice that exists against people who are homosexual and bisexual or to avoid their own moral dilemmas felt when their sexual orientation is incompatible with their personal beliefs.
