Being in homosexuality realm, people like us would have the ability to detect the others.
Its like our head are attached with an invisible, humongous radar that activates all the time. Have ever you wonder whether is the gaydar or just simply the traits that make people seem gay innate?
I'm left handed, my index finger are higher/relatively same length with my ring finger, i have counterclockwise whorl and increased density of fingerprint ridges on the thumb and pinkie of the left hand. And I'm Gay. But is that what makes me Gay?For years the subject of homosexuality are being a subject for studies in science and are no longer a taboo or regarded as a disease. The studies are by finding common biological traits which might help in one day that would shed some light on the origins of sexual orientation.
Or simply the "Gay Gene".
A quick summary from what the article says,
At first read, their findings seem like a string of unlinked,
EXAMPLE : Hand Dexterity (Male)
Gay men and lesbians have a 50 percent greater chance of being left-handed or ambidextrous than their straight counterparts.
esoteric observations. Statistically, for instance, gay men and lesbians have about a 50 percent greater chance of being left-handed or ambidextrous than straight men or women.
EXAMPLE : Digit Proportions (Female)
The index fingers of most straight men are shorter than their ring fingers, and for most women they are the same length or longer. Gay men and lesbians tend to have reversed ratios.
The relative lengths of our fingers offer another hint: The index fingers of most straight men are shorter than their ring fingers, while for most women they are closer in length, or even reversed in ratio. But some researchers have noted that gay men are likely to have finger-length ratios more in line with those of straight women, and a study of self-described “butch” lesbians showed significantly masculinized ratios.
The same goes for the way we hear, the way we process spatial reasoning, and even the ring of our voices. One study, involving tape-recordings of gay and straight men, found that 75 percent of gay men sounded gay to a general audience. It’s unclear what the listeners responded to, whether there is a recognized gay “accent” or vocal quality. And there is no hint as to whether this idiosyncrasy is owed to biology or cultural influences—only that it’s unmistakable.
Richard Lippa, a psychologist from California State University at Fullerton, is one of the leading cataloguers of the many ways in which gay people are different. I caught up with him a few weeks ago at a booth at the Long Beach Pride Festival in Southern California, where he was researching another hypothesis—that the hair-whorl patterns on gay heads are more likely to go counterclockwise.
EXAMPLE : Hair Whorl (Men)
Gay men are more likely than straight men to have a counterclockwise whorl.

Well from what they have collected, what i can say it might be true or otherwise. It might also be coincidence as the probabilities are high as compared to the population of the world. the chances of us having the same traits are there.
As what people say, "You can find another 7 version of yourself in other parts of the continent"
Have yourself some reading and say.
