Who here has an older brother(s)?
Interesting study. Three gay guys that come to mind first (who I know personally) all have at least one older brother. Come to think of it they're also the youngest.
"Men with older brothers more likely to be gay" http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060626/ap_on_he_me/sexual_orientation " WASHINGTON - Having several older brothers increases the likelihood of a man being gay, a finding researchers say adds weight to the idea that there is a biological basis for sexual orientation. ... The increase in the likelihood of being gay was seen only in those whose brothers had the same mothers, whether they were raised together or not, he said. Men raised with several older step- or adopted brothers do not have an increased chance of being gay."

Rick,
Not trapped at all. I "came out of the closet" years ago. Was around the time when two ladies took advantage of me and... well I liked it ... a lot!

My great uncle is gay and he was the second brother.
Wonder if it applies to women as well. My aunt is a lesbian and shes the younger sister. I'm the oldest and imagine my brothers not being gay-friendly people. |

Hmmm...I'm highly suspicious of this...I know a LOT of gay people and, as I run the names through my head right now, I simply don't see the trend...just as many single children as oldest siblings to youngest...

It was only a study of 900 men .... Not a huge sample by any means.
On the other hand, maybe you can make something of the fact that the study was sponsored by Canadians!
