Why do people turn gay? Why are there gays? Lesbians? Researcher might have the answer in a few years time, according to telegraph UK:

The new work of the Harvard University and Howard Hughes Medical Institute team, published in the journal Nature, indicates that defects in this organ, known as the vomeronasal organ, lead female mice to act like males, solicting them, mounting them and thrusting them while abandoning nesting and nursing.


So, does it really apply to us human beings as well? Not quite, according to Prof Dulac, human depends on visual rather than on pheromones and its sense of smell.
