Does my hair whorl make me look gay?

I may have asked some really "out there" questions before, but this may not be so far out there as it may seem. And really, it's less about looking gay than it is that may have to do with being gay. Weird, huh?

Here's the deal, apparently there might actually be some science to Gaydar and New York Magazine recently had a very interesting and detailed article on that very topic. Things like the direction of hair whorl, density of thumbprint, finger proportions, and hand dexterity might actually be specific to sexual orientation. Who would have guessed that gay men are more likely to have a counterclockwise hair whorl? I have to give author David France credit for once placing a personal ad describing himself as "gay-acting/gay-appearing" in stark contrast to the typical ad seeking "str8-acting." (I'm so over all those str8-acting gays…you're not so str8-acting when you're getting double penetrated by two power tops!) But now it would seem that vocal patterns and physical gestures may not be the only things that outwardly hint at orientation. But what could this newly discovered biological uniqueness mean? It raises some very important moral and ethical questions to say the least.

I won't spoil the rest, it's such a great article that you should read it for yourself. (Yes, that's the last link I'll put in there for it.) And when I said it was detailed, that's another way of saying it's much longer than a typical blog entry so give yourself some quality time to read it.
