Page 22 of the report has an image of average faces for men and women and gay / straight (bisexuality doesn't seem to be covered).
> The results show that the faces of gay men were more feminine and the faces of lesbians were more masculine than those of their respective heterosexual counterpart
It looks to me you're gay if you are a man wearing glasses and straight if you have a beard and rounder face. It would be interesting to see what it made of the stereotypical "bear". If you're a brunette and have a slightly thinner face then you're probably, 58%, a lesbian ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

- dm319 9y agoYes, that page caught my eye, too. My conclusion is that gay people are better-looking.
