they examined heterosexual men, heterosexual women and homosexual men. i see some groups missing here.

would be interesting to test bisexuals.

True. The tricky part is knowing what differences are real or not. I'd like to see the result of some sort of questionaire that helped assign a Kinsey-type number to the respondents. When it comes to brain chemistry, you want to know about attraction and not necessarily just behavior or self-definition.

i dunno. from what i read, both groups responded strongly to testosterone.

This is true, but there was some response in the olfactory (ie non-sexual) region of the brains of homosexual men, too. And they only tested 36 subjects in a really tightly defined population. For example, what if any effect would left-handedness have on the data? This is all I'm getting at. Brain chemistry is so tricky to understand and pin down.
