Advanced puter analysis pared different facial characteristics and found that gay men and women tend to have "genr-atypil" featur: fixed featur such as the shape of one's nose or jaw, and transient featur such as hairstyle and facial scientists then tted this ia to measure the "facial femy" of each image, or the probabily of that face beg female. "The rults show that the fac of gay men were more feme and the fac of lbians were more mascule than those of their rpective heterosexual unterparts, " the study said.

"Among men, the data-driven measure of facial femy posively rrelated wh the probabily of beg gay.
