It's My Brothers' Fault?

A new study says that boys who have several older brothers are more likely to be gay. One more way in which I fulfill the frickin' stereotypes. Let's see. I spent time in college dancing, acting, selling make-up... I like classical music, opera, some show tunes, some Barbra, The Sound of Music, I'm sensitive, scream and jump when I encounter large cockroaches, I cook and bake, can't throw a ball, and have a Puerto Rican glamazon boyfriend. Yep, got most everything covered. Now if I can just get the decorating thing down then the world will be mine! Bwah-ha-ha-ha-haa!

Coincidentally...

The Associated Press' summary of the same story includes a quote from one Marc Breedlove, a researcher in neuroscience. The name struck me as familiar and it took me a little while to recognize it... then it hit me. Breedlove was the name of the professor under whom a friend of mine in high school/college, Lynn H., was doing brain research after getting her bachelor degree. She told me about how she would basically take mouse brains, freeze them, slice them, and look at them under the microscope for gender-specific differences. The funny thing is, Lynn and I dated in high school and she came out about a month after I did.
