Interesting.Though I have to say I'm not a fan of framing homosexuality in this way. It opens the door for someone to claim "gay is a disease or malfuntion of the brain" under the guise of research.

What's the difference between seeing someone you'd like to fuck versus someone you don't want to fuck.You don't make that decision.Your brain does.You roll with it.

I read this as the strokes turned me gay.
4/17/2012 11:11:27 AM

It is like having an orgasm while being raped. It is only a physical response.

Strokes are known to cause distortion and disorientation. Perhaps this dude is just a little confused.

I mean I can see Billy Squier being gay, The Stroke seems pretty homo

So if we induce stroke in gays... that will make them straight?

All of the other examples they list of instances of personality changes after "changes in their medical history" are absolutely stupidsomeone who works with their hands and has tattoos on both his arms is now an artist/sculptor?a kidney transplant made a woman swap popular novels for Dostoevsky?someone whose head was pierced by an iron bar suffered behavioral changes and lose his inhibitions?this is absolute garbage and an insult to the field of neuroscience

I have read many, many scientific articles on comparing the heterosexual male brain to the homosexual male brain and yes.. there are slight organizational differences.I think they bring up an interesting topic, and sure, it might be possible that this stroke "turned" this young man gay, but they cannot know it for sure.There is a nucleus in the hypothalamus called the third Interstitial Nucleus of the Anterior Hypothalamus (INAH3) that has consistently been found to be twice as large in heterosexual men than in both women and homosexual men. This to me is clear evidence of a neuroanatomical and biological aspect to sexual orientation.That being said, there is no doubt in my mind that a stroke may affect one's personality, and I'm sure the topic presented by this incident and those before and similar to it have sparked much interest in the scientific community.

^^^^I saw that part and wondered aloud about inducing, which I did not see mentioned. Not that I would expect serious research into inducing strokes for this because of the side effects; even if it was voluntary. The INAH3 is interesting bit is very interesting.
