Perhaps you can relate? Same-sex couples are happier than straight couples, a recent study finds. After consulting with more than 25,000 people in the UK, over 9,000 in Australia, Janeen Baxter and Francisco Perales of the University of Queensland found that gay and lesbian couples tend to be happy, if not the happiest.

But the results are a little more promising in 2017. A recent Pew Research Foundation study reported: 92% of all LGBTQ adults felt that...

But now it appears the new frontier is baldness. And according to a new study conducted by the University of...

This article is going to hurt Before diving into it, let’s define what a beta male is. I am sure a lot of you already know the definition. The beta male is the opposite of the alpha. It is the prototype of the guy that lacks that determination and that masculinity that could potentially qualify him as an alpha, a leader.

Using the term LGBT community should be used with caution, according to new research. Research from Sheffield Hallam University studied 600 responses exploring the phrase LGBT community.

The results from this study have been used in a new book by Eleanor Formby, who is a senior research fellow at the university. The...

How could I almost have forgotten?! Recently, I was in Chicago for...

It turns out bromances are real after all. A new study, published in Sex Roles: A Journal of Research, asked a series of in-depth questions to 30 British undergraduate sport students to try and discover what straight men really get up to with their best friends. The results were surprising, and suggested that when behind closed doors, heterosexual men don’t let masculinity get in the way of forming close bonds. “Participants suggested, for example, that a bromantic friend was “someone who is...
