In human chemistry, queer chemistry, or “LGBT (GLBT) chemistry”, gay chemistry, or homosexual chemistry, is the study of chemical interactions, neurochemical changes, human chemical reactions, and human chemical bonding dynamics between gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, questioning, pansexual, bicurious, or asexual, etc., individuals being viewed as human molecules. [1] Statistically, approximately 3-4 percent of world’s population is of the homosexual or queer persuasion.

The adjacent video is a humorous take "sexual chemistry", the title of the the video, between men using innuendo with chemistry metaphors. In particular, in commentary the individuals in the video, between 1:45-2:15, comment on the paradoxical difference between gravitational “attraction” and “attraction” between people, which they decide is a type of biochemical force or attraction, as in biogravity. The clip highlights the lack of understanding, in general science, of the nature of gravity in relation to human bonding.

Overview
Queer or homosexual chemistry is, in general, a nascent field of research. It is generally agreed, however, that the chemistry involved in qay relationships will differ than as compared to typical homosexual relationships. In a typical gay relationship, such as, for instance, in the human chemical bonding of two homosexual men:

M1 + M2 → M1≡M2

the neurochemical and hormonal changes will, invariably, be different than as compared to straight heterosexual bondings A≡B. As such, it is likely that factors, such as energy and entropy changes, will be different to describe, thermodynamically, than as compared to straight dynamics. Homosexual relationships, for instance, tend to be shorter-lived than homosexual relationships, hence reaction rates and chemical bonding dynamics will differ.

Gay matching
A popular, albeit superficial, example of discussions on the current understanding on “gay chemistry” is the famous 2007 “Nope, Still Gay” ad campaign, by the dating/matching site Chemistry.com, who supposedly “chemically” matches gay individuals via the algorithms of American biological anthropologist Helen Fisher, who question why eHarmony.com rejects gays and lesbians. [4] In commentary on this, eHarmony founder Neil Warren stated that not enough research has been done on gay relationships to warrant the construction of a gay matching algorithm. In particular, Warren says “it calls for some very careful thinking [and] very careful research." [5]
