If homosexuality is genetic, which I firmly believe it is, then it's an interesting question as to whether or not this genetic trait brings with it other physical manifestations. From a purely scientific point of view, it would be an interesting test of ML to see if some sort of relationship could be discovered. It's dangerous though to jump to conclusions that there is a physical manifestation without reams and reams of scientific study, including gene sequencing, etc.
However, it's both interesting and dangerous, as the GLAAD press release states, because of the repercussions to gays in countries where it's not nearly as accepted. It probably won't stop Russia and other very homophobic countries from conducting the same experiments using their own datasets.
In addition, very deep research including gene sequencing might inadvertently turn up the "gay" gene, which would then lead to it's own Pandora's box of issues.
This might be one of those situations where we might not want to study too hard because of the repercussions associated with it.
