Fun aside, I recall one study that seemed to imply that birth control can actually make women gay. Wish I had that on-hand, but my organizational skills for such things are abysmal...
Yes, it was discussed by Dr Sarah Hill in a podcast relatively recently and she brings up the results of those studies you're referencing:

TL;DW: Birth control can suppress a woman's natural desire to be inseminated by a male, and thus may influence her to seek out more feminine men or other women.
And yeah, I knew that birth control would fuck around with a woman's hormonal cycle to the point that they'd go for the, well, with lack of a better term 'Beta Male' - this is why, iirc, people were commenting on how attraction would radically change for women when they went off of it(IE, trying to get pregnant in marriage). But I would think there's a vast gap between 'Birth control makes women go for weaker/feminine men' and 'Birth Control makes women gay'.

Yoink. Thanks for this.

I guess not.
