The study says that 1 in 7 have older brothers? Or that 1 in 7 actually attribute their orientation to having had older brothers?

...I would be very surprised if this study actually meant anything. Lots of people have older brothers. Some of them are gay.

the results they are claiming make no sense with the 'data' they provided. i don't understand how they came to these conclusions even after looking at the link.

if you have 2.5 older brothers, you have a higher chance of being a butt pirate...
social influence again...
but do I believe it, I am not sure.

The truth is that older brothers hog the tv remote, preventing the younger brothers from watching tv freely and being brainwashed by the heterocentric media.

So what are the chances of a guy being straight if he has an older sister?

thats because it IS total bs, werebear. my god if they say its because they had brothers then they're making up an excuse. it has to do with hormones, and even if it didn't- would that mean they thought of their brothers in a sexual way!?

I had a older brother and a younger sister, so I should be just perfect. sounds like a crazy study to me, proving nothing.

I never put I claims behind pure empirical "research", so I'd rather see an explaniton for this phenomena.

how cares there gay and they must like it, i don't like it doesn't make sense why they dont' like women, i'm not atracted to men and i've never had a brother i just wish i could go into the mind of a gay man and read what he is thinking, don't get me wrong i don't have anyting against me but with all my best judgement i can't think of why they would want to be gay
