The Gay Psyche

I believe that being gay may well be related to communication problems between the right and left sides of the brain We know from split-brain experiments that each side of the cerebral hemisphere processes information differently. One side analyses and responds to rational input. The other side is intuitive and reacts to "feelings or hunches". Healthy behavioral responce results when balanced decision-making takes place between the two modes of comprehension.

The Yin and Yang of Knowing

For many the left side can be said to be "masculine" We know that as it processes information it is: intellectual, convergent, digital, secondry, abstract, directed, propositional, analytic, lineal, rational, sequential, obljective, successive

The right side is said to be "feminine" We know that as it processes information it is: intuition, divergent, analogic, primary, concrete, free, imaginative, relational. non-lineal, intuitive, multiple, holistic, subjective, simultaneous

It is my thought that when these parallel modes of comprehension are somehow reversed in a male or female's brain chemistry during fetal development, a confusion of sexual orientation results

The formulation and presentation of this hunch appears irrational and it seems to me as if it is grounded on a bed of homophobia.
