It's been denied for years alongside accusations of sexism or sound bytes like "it's not the size of the boat, it's the motion in the ocean." But once and for all, science has tackled big penises.

Let us rephrase that.

Though there are, of course, individualized preferences, a recent study has proven that men with bigger penises are found more attractive than their counterparts.

Results from a new study out of the University of Montreal find that openly-gay LGB folks are more relaxed than our closeted counterparts, but it's the comparison to the mental fitness of heterosexuals that might be the real shocker!

Hubbub over the source of homosexuality has taken over the Internet this week thanks to that comprehensive new study linking conditions during gestation to LGBT babies.

On Wednesday, we heard hate group leader Bryan Fischer abandon his pro-life convictions to allow for abortions in the case of a detectable gay fetus; today we get a promise from David Pruden, vice president of the National Association for the Research and Treatment of Homosexuality, to keep promoting the dangerous and discredited "ex gay" therapy even if the theory is proven true.

It builds on emerging evidence that the "gay gene" might be nothing more than mythology, but new research published in The Quarterly Review of Biology doesn't exactly deliver a death knell to being "born this way."

For gay men coming out at younger ages and feeling an earlier "pressure" to get or remain fit, the superficiality of it all may have deeper health benefits than once assumed and may not amount to a futile endeavor. According to a recent comprehensive Swedish study tracking one million young men, those who are physically strong between the ages of 16 and 19 will likely live longer than their weaker peers—even if they become overwheight later in life.

A subject we previously referred to as "sweet dreams" gets covered up in a cold blanket of scientific and biological jargon in an educational (and entertaining) video from ASAP Science that's making the blog rounds today.

So, what causes men to "go camping" so often during sleep?

Mark Regnerus's incredibly flawed study on same-sex parenting has been dismantled and discredited time and time again, but anti-gay forces refuse to bow to reason and continue to spread the dangerous ideas espoused in his attack on gay families.

That's why 200 Ph.D.s and M.D.s and a new petition are demanding that Social Science Research, the publication which published the flawed, NOM-linked study, apologize and retract Regnerus's work. 

Details follow.

So, what, exactly, do scientists believe gives our queer eye away?
