>Two researchers published a study that showed that computers can see whether someone is gay from their faces with surprising accuracy.

>Michal Kosinski and Yilun Wang used about 35,000 images of people from an American dating website (they don’t name the site). About half were men and half were women. Half the men and women identified as gay, the other half identified as straight.

>Also, the images were all from white people between the ages of 18 and 40, and people who did not look like the gender in their profiles (according to workers hired by the researchers) were excluded. Bisexual people were not included in the study. The pictures were cropped to focus on the face, and the faces were fully visible.
