We're more likely to be left-handed, and our fingerprints are distinctive, too. “These are all part and parcel of the idea that being gay is different -- that we are different animals to some extent,” Simon LeVay, the British-born neuroscientist, tells New York magazine. Kind of a densely written piece, but interesting.
