In the latest study to support the notion of a biological basis for sexual orientation, Swedish researchers have concluded that the the brains of lesbians are more similar to those of straight men, than to straight women.

The findings were largely based on the reaction of lesbians to the act of sniffing a pair of soiled panties. While straight women¬†went “Eccch!,” and immediately rushed to throw them into the laundry, the lesbian women reacted the same way as heterosexual men — proudly parading around with the panties¬†on their heads while watching the ballgame.

However, the research did not rely solely on “Scratch and Sniff” tests, but also incorporated various behavioral studies.¬† For example, compared to straight women, lesbians were found to be nine times more likely to leave their dirty clothes on the floor, to not pick up the phone and call after a date, to refuse to ask for directions, and to end up with marinara sauce on their clothes while dining in an Italian restaurant.

Perhaps most surprisingly, lesbians graded out the same as straight men on leaving the toilet seat up in the middle of the night.

While gay activists usually embrace studies showing a genetic basis for sexuality, the head of The Lesbian Alliance strongly condemned these findings, asserting that auto insurers are now trying to charge the same exorbitant rates to lesbians as they do for straight men.

In a¬†similar study conducted¬†last year, these same researchers concluded that gay men were very similar to straight women, particularly in regard to being “a pain in the ass.”
