Introduction

Gaydar is a colloquial term referring to the intuitive ability of a person to identify the
sexual orientation of homosexuals through verbal and non-verbal cues. In 1987,
Berger et al showed that humans have the innate ability to identify someones
sexual orientation in their research, "Detection of sexual orientation by
heterosexuals and homosexuals". [1]
However, according to Diane Richardson, one cannot automatically and intrinsically
detect sexual orientation of an individual based on physical appearance alone. One
must observe social interactions that reflect sexual identity before concluding. [2]
This is a reflection of the existence of a wide spectrum of gender identities and
expressions one exhibits. As noted by Alice Dan in 1997,
We found that there were just so many different varieties of combinations of self-
identification, of attraction to women and men, and sexual behavior, either current
sexual behavior or past sexual behavior, that well over 30 different groups were
defined by the combination of those variables,
In fact, definitions of different sexual orientations vary from study to study
depending on the measures the researcher established. [3]
This study aims to determine the different factors and their interactions in the
ability of heterosexual male engineering students of UP Diliman in detecting
homosexual women.
For the purpose of the research, lesbians are defined as women who are attracted to
women and identify themselves as lesbians. This scope covers those who identify
themselves as bisexuals and homosexuals. The researchers employed the Chicago
Women's Health Study (Hughes et al., 1997) as the measure of sexual orientation
for the volunteer lesbians and population of participants of the study.[3]
The motivation of the study is to spread awareness regarding the vast and wide
gender spectrum people may belong to and establish gender sensitivity.
