Gay men are 'born with big brothers' - World - Times Online

Gay men are 'born with big brothers' - World - Times Online: "The link between having older brothers and homosexuality has long been established, but the new findings indicate firmly that conditions in the womb before birth, and not the subsequent family environment, are responsible."

This piece is interesting, and I had never heard of this "fraternal birth order effect" before. I think it's too bad that our society is so bent on insisting that sexuality is biologically determined (so that we can breathe easy that it's nobody's "fault"), but that doesn't change the fact that these studies have intriguing findings.
