Gay men read maps like women quote: A UK research study has revealed that gay men use the same strategies for navigating as women do - using landmarks to find their way around. But gay men also use the strategies typically used by straight men too, such as using compass directions and distances. In contrast, lesbians read maps just like straight women according to the study of 80 heterosexual and gay men and women. "Gay men adopt male and female strategies. Therefore their brains are a sexual mosaic," explains psychobiologist Qazi Rahman. "It's not simply that lesbians have men's brains and gay men have women's brains."
