Are gay mens index fingers shorter than the ring fingers?
Scientists from the University of California at Berkeley have shown a correlation between finger length and sexual orientation. They tested a theory that higher levels of androgen – male sex hormones – in the womb influence both finger length and sexual orientation. The study showed that the more “masculine” arrangement was having shorter index fingers. Comparisons between all men showed no differences, but gay men with several older brothers had an unusually “masculine” finger ratio – in other words, they had significantly shorter index fingers. I am gay and my index and ring fingers are the same length, but I also do not have any brothers.
