Controversial article to begin with, but...

Pas de Deux of Sexuality, New York Times

The scientific studies he cited were almost all correlational, and therefore inconclusive. Relying so heavily on simply correlational studies makes for an interesting read, but certainly a weak foundation for the article. It seems like he came to a biased conclusion based on the inconclusive data. If he had taken another angle, and perhaps introduced the topic as the sexual nature of the brain including studies of what makes sexual orientation, it would have been better focused, and certainly easier to follow, but instead it seems like he almost wanted to make it controversial. I guess controversy grabs more readers than simply talking about different scientific studies that have inconclusively linked homosexuality with pre-birth brain development in men. It might have been easier for a reader to draw his or her own conclusion with a more neutral angle, at least until more conclusive research has been conducted.

This comment of his made me wonder:

"This dominant gene, the Y chromosome’s proudest and almost only possession, sidetracks the reproductive tissue from its ovarian fate and switches it into becoming testes. Hormones from the testes, chiefly testosterone, mold the body into male form."

Sounds like he's certainly "proud" of his Y chromosome, and certainly wanted his reproductive tissue to be "sidetracked from its ovarian fate."

Interestingly, one of the experts he cited is an MSU professor, whose website is here: The Breedlove Jordan Lab
