I was just reading a study in "Science" (vol 255, Jan 03, 92, pg33) that discussed a study of twin and adoptive brothers. it seems that if a twin brother
(identical) is gay, there is at least a 52% chance that the other
brother will be gay (22% for fraternal twins and 11% of adoptive brothers)
This shows to some extent that homosexuality may be genetic. (Also
interesting in this study was that the adoptive brothers were gay
11% of the time...very close to what Lesbians and Gays have been saying
for years (from Kinsley's study) that 10% of the populace is gay.)
