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.

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.
