I question the concept.

There's an old saying: "Correlation does not establish causation."
The research found that gay men and women tended to have “gender-atypical” features, expressions and “grooming styles”, essentially meaning gay men appeared more feminine and vice versa. The data also identified certain trends, including that gay men had narrower jaws, longer noses and larger foreheads than straight men, and that gay women had larger jaws and smaller foreheads compared to straight women.
Human judges performed much worse than the algorithm, accurately identifying orientation only 61% of the time for men and 54% for women. When the software reviewed five images per person, it was even more successful – 91% of the time with men and 83% with women. Broadly, that means “faces contain much more information about sexual orientation than can be perceived and interpreted by the human brain”, the authors wrote.
The paper suggested that the findings provide “strong support” for the theory that sexual orientation stems from exposure to certain hormones before birth, meaning people are born gay and being queer is not a choice. The machine’s lower success rate for women also could support the notion that female sexual orientation is more fluid.
Or maybe the findings support the notion that gay people tend to act like gay people, and adopt expressions and mannerisms they consider appropriate for their adopted lifestyle. While there may be some correlation, I don't see anything from the description of the study that could realistically demonstrate that gay-ness stems from pre-birth hormone confusion.

As if I needed further reasons to avoid having my picture taken.
I wonder if you can become a mail order Amish ...

"Mail Order Amish" - sounds like the title of my next Christian romance best-seller.

What causation are you looking for here?
All that is necessary is a strong enough correlation.

It's a recruitment tool. "Are you sure you're not gay? Try it, you might like it!" [tinfoil]

I'm surprised that no one has asked if you (fistful) have tried it yet.
-
Oh no. Do you think I could be one of the gays? =(

Really? I'm the first with this. =D

Are you suggesting that they're having cosmetic surgery to obtain narrower jaws, longer noses, and larger foreheads for the guys, and larger jaws and smaller foreheads for the women?
Hair style is one thing. Those things are hard to change.
And that's without things like us being able to tell gay brains from straight brains using things like MRIs.

Oh Yeah ?!?!?! I think the computer is gay !!!!!
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I am not seeing that in the article. It looks like it is a mix of facial features as well as hair style and such. You are implying it is purely based on inherited features.

That's gay! :P
