Ever wonder how people are able to determine someone’s sexual orientation from only a brief encounter? US News reports that people can accurately determine male sexual orientation just by listening to how men pronounce their vowels.
Researchers at Ohio State University conducted a study that was meant to figure out whether strangers could figure out if men were gay or straight just by listening to their pronunciations of monosyllabic words. Fascinatingly, the participants guessed correctly 75% of the time when they heard a vowel.
So the next time someone asks you how your gaydar is so spot-on, you can give them this scientifically-supported conclusion: "Gay E I O U!"
