ENOLA GAY

I know this om strangers who fd gay people offensive enough to elic a remark—tlls om b wdows, to e a recent example—as well as om untls sual social engagements which people easily assume my orientatn, no sensive gaydar necsary.

THE SCIENCE OF GAYDAR

I once placed a personal ad which I scribed myself as “gay-actg/gay-appearg, ” partly as a jab at my peers who prefer to be thought of as “str8” but mostly bee ’s jt who I am. That’s what we mean by gaydar—not the skill of the viewer so much as the telltale signs most gay people project, the set of tras that make unmistakably one. A small nstellatn of rearchers is specifilly analyzg the tras and characteristics that, though more pronounced some than others, not only make gay but also make appear gay.

But some rearchers have noted that gay men are likely to have fger-length rats more le wh those of straight women, and a study of self-scribed “butch” lbians showed signifintly masculized rats.

What is there Ruf Wawright’s “unhibed, yearng, ugly-ducklg voice, ” as the Los Angel Tim wrote a few weeks ago, that we regnize as uniquely gay? “The are all part and parcel of the ia that beg gay is different—that we are different animals to some extent, ” says Simon LeVay, the Brish-born nroscientist who has dited himself to studyg the issu.

Richard Lippa, a psychologist om California State Universy at Fullerton, is one of the leadg taloguers of the many ways which gay people are different. I ught up wh him a few weeks ago at a booth at the Long Beach Pri Ftival Southern California, where he was rearchg another hypothis—that the hair-whorl patterns on gay heads are more likely to go unterclockwise.

Acrdg to this rearch, for stance, gay men, like straight women, have an creased nsy of fgerprt ridg on the thumb and the pkie of the left hand; and overall their arms, legs, and hands are smaller relative to stature (among wh but not blacks). One volv mentally rotatg a 3-D object, somethg mal tend to do better than femal—except gay men sre more like straight women and lbians functn more like straight men. From the fdgs, might be temptg to nclu that lbians are universally masculized and gay men are somehow femized—the classic “versn mol” of homosexualy advanced by Frd.

The stereotyp—that lbians tend to m to relatnships early and have ltle tert sual sex; that gay men have more sexual partners than their unterparts—turn out to be te. The measurements, should be noted, were self-reported and perhaps volve reportg bias, but no one has done a study vtigatg whether gay men are more prone to exaggeratg their assets, so, well, draw your own nclns. Instead of picturg genr and orientatn along a le, wh straight men and women on eher end and gay people the middle, he suggts, a matrix might be a more accurate way to map the possibili.

Some of this work has been rid as morn-day phrenology, and obvly posssg one tra or another—a unterclockwise hair whorl here, an elongated rg fger there—don’t necsarily make a person gay or straight.
