“Late-blooming lesbians find different kind of love”

Toronto Star: “Late-blooming lesbians have gained some mainstream visibility in recent years thanks to celebrities like Cynthia Nixon and Portia de Rossi . . . The subject is also starting to garner academic attention, with researchers trying to understand how women’s sexuality — and capacity for same-sex relationships — might be different than men’s . . . But ‘there are more shades of grey to women’s attraction,’ [Richard Lippa, professor of psychology at California State University] says. Women, he says, tend to have a preferred sex and less preferred sex. Women are much more likely than men to report some degree of same-sex attraction.”
