J. Michael Bailey, a Northwestern University psychology professor, has 
published research on gaydar and found that we humans have a staggeringly good 
ability to judge which way a person swings.

"We've found that 'gaydar' has quite a bit, if not perfect, accuracy," Bailey 
said. "We've done studies where we've brought people into the lab, videotaped 
them describing the weather in Chicago, and then brought in other people to 
watch the video and judge them. And they're almost always right."

In a 2008 study, Bailey found that gay and straight people who viewed the 
videos correctly identified straight people 87 percent of the time and 
correctly identified homosexual people 75 percent of the time.
