It seems to me that a lot of them go into psychology, social work, or something artistic. Is it just me? Is there a basis to this hypothesis?

I would agree that sexual orientation does not promote interest in a field. However, women in general tend toward the social sciences, human services, and arts in a higher percentage then men. Certainly all lesbians are women ergo a higher percentag of lesbians will be in certain professions. Studing women studies is again something you will see many women who have experienced oppression in its many forms. Since most lesbian's will have experienced more oppression they may seek a safer major in which to explore and understand thier experience. DA

Women in general tend to go into fields that involve caring for others, gay women tend to be expressive & creative......but there are plenty of Doctors, Lawyers & Business execs....you just dont recognize them as such!!! We are everywhere!!!

Why would a person's sexual preference determine their professional interest?
