quick summary: they found that lesbians responded more to the same sex than straight women, but the p-value was just 0.13, not low enough for a conclusion of there being a statistical difference that was definitely not a result of experimental error, vs one of .05 (exactly the minimum required to establish this) for attraction to opposite sex

what they established is a fairly weak case that straight women feel at least some arousal towards other women.

media then ran with these data points to claim that women are "never straight" even though a quarter of the straight-identifying women clearly had no sexual response to images of women, and even though pupil/genital response to imagery is not a full assessment of sexual preference
