How is this even possible? New AI can work out whether you're gay or straight from a photograph

quote [ 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. ]

The grooming and slightly feminine/masculine appearance is understandable, that's my "gaydar" works so much as it does and it doesn't most of the time - but forehead size!?!? So phrenology is actually a real thing?

What use is that? Now, if they could re-tune it to identify women who might be willing to sleep with somebody like me, we might be onto something.

"governments that continue to prosecute LGBT people could hypothetically use the technology to out and target populations"

Most anti-gay groups that try to impose themselves via governments usually justify their position by saying that gays are "deviants" or mentally ill or some other argument that puts the blame on the individuals' choice, and reject the idea that it's biological -- especially the religious ones since that implies its God's will or something. Would they even want to acknowledge this technology since it undermines their justification, or would their bigotry and desire to attack gays override their ability to recognize/acknowledge/care about the contradiction?

That you even have to ask that makes me think you're high.

Since most of them are run by men who are gay but in denial about it, I imagine this tech would scare the bezeejus out of them.

It probably can't detect if The Devil Made You Do It.

I'm not Gay! I just not strong enough yet to resist the Devil's temptations!

So why does the Devil always tempt you with cock?

I like how you think that they are rational. It shows a lot of optimism. But I think that the people who are Anti-lgbt are angry about whatever in their lives and just need some "other" to blame.

If your mascara and eye shadow are "on fleek", then it's A dead giveaway that you're gay. If you're a mess, then you're straight as an arrow.

I'm as straight as that unbroken ruler the teachers used to use to disciple me. Straight when not in use but a little bent and kinky when in use. Could someone please do a little ore tweaking so it could become the next Sub Finder :P

I wish I could try the thing out, as I'm bi and would love to know what it thought about me.

I'm afraid that you are just a slut, Dave.

My personal gaydar also works on facial parameters. I am convinced that gay people has a special spark in their eyes.
