Lesbians' brains respond differently from those of heterosexual women. Further along the trail that tells us sexual preference is often innate and not environmental. I've always maintained that sexauality for women is more fluid than for men. Women are more emotive and sympathetic. Even more touchy-feely. Not that this leads to lesbianism or what have you but it makes it more likely that women will try it out for size. There are also strong cultural drivers here. Lesbian chic as they say has been on the upswing in the last few years. This isn't really news but it is a quantum leap from how things were in my day [/old coot voice].

I understand the fear that gay people have with identifying the physiological component that drives sexuality. They fear some sort of prenatal test will lead to abortions or reparative solutions. That's likely a valid, if overstated, fear. We're quickly approaching a post-gay world where people are gay and it's not a big deal anymore. That, to me, is when things are going to be truly different.
