Samenvatting

Personen met een homoseksuele oriëntatie wordt vaak een ‘telepathisch zesde zintuig’ toegeschreven waarmee ze andere homoseksuelen zouden kunnen herkennen (Reuter, 2002). Dit fenomeen wordt ook wel aangeduid als gaydar – een samenstelling van gay en radar (Shelp, 2002). Ofschoon waarneembare verschillen tussen homo- en heteroseksuelen niet door iedereen worden opgemerkt, rapporteren verschillende studies subtiele maar onderscheidende kenmerken die worden gedeeld door homoseksuelen, zoals haardracht (Rule, Ambady, Adams & Macrae, 2008), beweging van het lichaam en gebaren (Ambady, Hallahan & Connor, 1999), spraakpatroon (Linville, 1998), en grootte van de penis (Bogaert & Hershberger, 1999). Er schijnt dus een perceptuele basis te zijn waarop mensen een betrouwbare gaydar kunnen ontwikkelen, en homoseksuelen zijn hier blijkbaar beter in getraind.
