The data about lesbians' brain structure may in fact be significant. (I don't see the point in criticizing their statistics on the basis of a story on a news site online. If you want to read the papers they have published, then go read the papers.) Though I'm curious that they don't mention anything about the structure of gay men's brains (proportions of grey matters, etc.) - maybe they found no differences?
However, the gay men's responses to male/female sweat could easily be a learned behaviour or a conditioned response or anything else that was not hard-wired from birth. Though again, I'd have to actually read their papers to see if they haven't used some other data to rule this out. And I'm purely being devil's advocate here, seeing as I do think that a great proportion of homosexuals were born that way.
