A studied by the BBC was shown that gay men test more in line with straight women. Is there a study for bisexuals? (image: istock.com/Dean Mitchell)
Interesting clip I found on the brain waves preformed on gender and sexual orientation between men and women. Seems the data is in—that gay men test very high in the areas of where straight women do well overall. This study also suggested that gays and lesbians are in fact born with their attraction for the same-sex before birth. As always, this got me thinking? What about bisexuals?
I watched the video with John Barrowman (Star of Torchwood/Doctor Who) as I held my breath waiting for the term ‘bisexual’ to be added to the mix of the study, but alas it wasn’t to come. But again, this took me back to the days of my youth. As a bisexual, who’s pretty much 50/50 on the Kinsey scale, I wondered what my score would look like, if I took the test.
Childhood Memories
I was equally a lover of dolls as I was with trains, if fact, I so wanted a train set when I was 12 years old. When my brother received his expected male toy, and it was frown upon to even ask—I cried myself to sleep because my father told me “girls don’t play with train sets” Even when I wanted a particular doll, my father told me “you are too old to play with dolls—I was 11. Seems a bisexual kid can’t catch a break.
So, take a look at this video and share your thoughts, do you test or think like the opposite sex, the same or both? Bisexual minds want to know!
Also, check out this very nice video, that’s sort of fitting by John Barrowman called, “What about Us” Oh, I truly have a Brit sense of humor. I say we claim this song for our upcoming Bisexual PSA Campaign—more to come.
