The brains of gay men and women look like those found in heterosexual people of the opposite sex, research suggests.

A group of 90 healthy gay and heterosexual adults, men and women, were scanned by the Karolinska Institute

if it is all due to the brain I can't help but wonder if this might lead to homosexuality being put back in the books as a medical condition.

A medical condition is something that adversely affects one's health, no?

I wasn't addressing "condition". I was specifically addressing "medical condition". But don't let me be too pedantic. ;)

What about "characteristic"?

[dv8nation]

That seems reasonable.

[yes_justice]

characteristic. Agreed.

Gore Vidal would assert that there are no homosexuals, only men who participate in homosexual acts. Language thing.

That was my feeling. And the "abnormality" is shared by either heterosexual men or women. So unless we're about to consider one gender to have a permanent medical condition...

I suppose it might result in medical insurance coverage for things like gender modification therapy.

It would be interesting to consider homophobia a medical disorder.
