This wouldn't be a separate study, It could theoretically be one and the same.

a "previously undiscovered hormone" that wires brains differently in men and women could be a reason that gay men tend to be more feminine. and vice versa for lesbians.

With information like this, A strong argument could be made that being gay or lesbian could merely be a hormonal imbalance. No one has known why gays are gay etc.... something like this could be the reason and really set back gay and lesbian rights. If, all of a sudden, it gets shown that there is a homone that makes you more of a man or woman ... then being gay is all of a sudden a medical condition... rather than a "who you are" condition.

I'm straight and don't pretend to know why people are gay, but I know a lot of my gay and lesbian friends would be really upset being told all of a sudden it is a medical condition that needs to be fixed rather than supporting their choices.

I understand where you are coming from, but if you look at it the other way, our whole gender is based on a different balances of hormones. I just worry that they will try to give "hormone therapy" to unborn children to try and "fix" them from being gay.
