Pop quiz hotshots - is my gaydar acting up, or does this guy play for the other team?

he is a loud blip on my gaydar

"Yes my gaydar is going off on this guy."

I'm not saying he is. I'm just pointing out that his website, www.petervadala.com, has excerpts from the college musical he wrote (called "College Musical") which includes the songs "Love's the Truth that Sets Us Free" and "That Guy". Also, on the website, he writes about himself in the third person.


I'm just sayin'.

Yes my gaydar is going off on this guy.

My *gaydar is telling me he's not into women.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Homophobe closeted republican gaydar tingling on Greg.

My *gaydar still works! They were all a manly looking, but I still guessed right.

Hey I think this guy might be gay. I don't know about you guys but my gaydar is going off.

Is it wrong that an 9-yr-old kid set off my gaydar? I'm definitely detecting a bogey.

The video quotes the researchers' making statements like "this may show feminizing of the brain in gay men, and masculinizing of the brain in gay women." That usually implies something chemical or hereditary, rather than mere socialization, something along the lines of the hypothesis that men are more likely to be gay if exposed to an excess of androgens in the womb.


Actually, it would be the other way around. Androgens are male sex hormones - an excess of them would not lead to homosexuality. Research shows that women produce less testosterone [less androgens] with each male child, so statistically, you are more likely to be gay if you have several older brothers.

Gay men also do have a very notable brain difference. Simon LeVay is a neuroanatomist, and has found in his research (doing autopsies on both straight and gay males who had AIDS) that there is a cluster of cells in the anterior hypothalamus that is smaller in gay men.

Of course both nature and nurture play a part. It's not just "mere socialization." If that was the case, all children of gay couples would be gay.

You guys really didn't have a clue?

She openly admitted she went to strip clubs putting dollar bills on women's panties.

Yeah there's no universal rule saying 'if a girl goes to a strip club she's a lesbian'. But actively seeking strip clubs to see naked chicks, that's a little out of normal female behavior, no?


Even without that comment I kinda figured she was on the butch side, with the way she talks, the roles she takes on tv shows, the jokes she makes etc etc. I may not have a keen gaydar, but I definately have a strong lezdar.

I don't see how that's unfortunate. The video wasn't about trying to determine the cause of homosexuality, only if it's possible to detect it based on body language and speech.

The kind of phrasing used by the doctors is a bit misleading if not balanced by making it explicit and recognizing the other side in the controversy.

To what extent this is a result of genetics or in vitro environmental effects, and to what extent it's a result of social environment, is a very open question. It's unfortunate that the video doesn't point this out.
