    Dunno, didn't really read it.

    My understanding tho is that gay-ism is correlated with hormone levels - testosterone, estrogen being the main ones - for masculinity/femininity. When you're straight you have the appropriate levels of hormone for your sex, when you're gay you're out of balance. The hormones do all kinds of things besides causing the physical diffs between men and women (like face structure, muscle mass, fat distribution, etc.) but to personality differences as well (like making men physically aggressive and women relatively timid). So, if your dad is straight and you are gay, the differences in hormones might make you look like a gay (feminized) version of your dad, basically.

    I've read it a few times, and this is correct.

    Tie-ins to the drop in testosterone in men in general are interesting topics of discussion as well.
