Interesting to say the least
Psychology Today: Queer Eyes: Blips on the Gaydar
Until now, the concept has been the stuff of urban legend. But in fact, according to a study conducted in 2005, some people are better at identifying gays than others, and overall, gays are better at it than straight individuals.Gay men and women not only made more accurate assessments, they were efficient, too: It took about 2 seconds for gays to decide whether a person was straight or not. Says Adams, “You either have gaydar or you don’t.”
