Lesbians' brains react differently to sex hormones than those of heterosexual women, new research indicates.

That's in line with an earlier study that had indicated gay men's brain responses were different from straight men - though the difference for men was more pronounced than has now been found in women.

Lesbians' brains reacted somewhat, though not completely, like those of heterosexual men, a team of Swedish researchers said in Tuesday's edition of Proceedings of the National...

This is a very complex issue.

This looks like, once again, junk science. Every study, and I do mean every single study on a gay gene or biological factors for homosexuality (behavior) have been debunked.

From the article, somebody who wasn't part of the team said:

The important thing is to be open to the likely situation that there are biological factors that contribute to sexual orientation.
And we have to look at all the evidence, which includes studies on ex-gays. Besides that, we already know biology contributes to sexual orientation. People who understand the issues realize this doesn't mean homosexuality is innate. The issue is what and how little linkage and association really means. But you won't read that from somebody pushing the homosexual agenda.

Also, this study assumes humans respond to pheromones which is far from being decided.

Here are some links for those interested in understanding the bigger picture:
