112 undergraduate observers were shown videos of the backsides of the volunteers as they walked at various speeds on the treadmill. The observers were able to determine the volunteers' sexual orientation with an overall rate of accuracy that exceeded chance

Possible BenBurch alert. ;)

Wait a minute... A subject pool size of just 8 men and 8 women!? That is so small as to be ridiculous.

Although I agree with their premise/theory - that you can often tell someone's sexual orientation from subtle clues - their methods and sample size put them in the realm of not too serious "researchers."
