Growing up, it was always the kid that only had his Mom or Mom and older sisters that ended up being effeminate/gay. I've never personally known a guy that was gay and had older brothers.
 
Why the hell are you claiming that it's BS if they're actually researching it, and beginning to prove that it's true?

Obviously that's not something that's written in stone, but if they can see a pattern...
 
I could see that. As the oldest brother, I'm sure I felt more pressure to "carry on the family name" then the my younger brothers felt. They didn't say anything to me, but I still got the message. I don't think it had anything to do with me staying strait, but it might for some people.

you sure that wasn't a pic of hot chicks with d... nah not worth it 😀
 
I am the second oldest male of 3 in my family.
Older brother (Mama's Boy) turned out gay, bisexual, whatever.
I am a flaming heterosexual, as is my younger brother.

I know this neither proves nor disproves anything, just my $.02.
 
Hehe, I think I'll tell my sister-in-law about this! 😀

This kind of statistic is rather pointless when you think of it. It may be true, but so what? Didn't read the article, but a quick thinkin brings up this: There can only be 1 who doesn't have an older Sibling, if there are 3+ children of course the findings would come to this conclusion. Perhaps they only studied 2 children families or used some kind of Mathematical formula to negate multi-children families. Even then, so what?
 
sooooo.... this would indicate that homosexuality isn't an inherited trait... it's a learned behavior? Because otherwise there'd be no reason for it to matter. In other words, you never see studies that say "the third daughter is more likely to be blond" or "the 2nd of two children is more likely to have brown eyes." That's because genetics don't remember (or even know) that there was an older sibling.

I'm not saying that I agree with the study... just pointing out the implications of the study.

Did you even read the article? It shows us some very important information. It shows that there is a statistically significant reason to think that homosexuality stems from something biological rather than social factors. It is a small step in the nature vs nurture debate.

No. Read the article, it actually suggests the contrary to what you said.
