Default POLL: Physically Biologically Born Male Gays/Bis

I just watched a video which mentioned that males with older brothers are more likely to be gay (the more older brothers the more likely to be gay). This is to do with conditions inside the mothers womb.

So, I thought it'd be fun to have a poll. I also wanted to share this information with those of you who are unaware.

Please vote in the poll if you are a physically biologically born gay/bi male and please abstain if you are not. Thanks!

Oh well. I'm not making another thread. Dont want to spam up these forums too much.

you are talking about the immuno response of mothers to the male HY antigen, which doesn't necessarily require an older brother. It just makes it more likely, as the immune system is a learning and adaptive system.

I have two older half brothers, and I know that one is straight. The other I've not met, so I don't know about him. I'm gay, though.

One younger brother and I'm gay. My mom did have a pregnancy before me that never really came about, though... I don't know if that has anything to do with my development, though...

Just one straight older brother, and I'm gay. Creates some entertaining conversation at times.

Bro: Well I have you pinned as more of a dude than a chick... you know, the pitcher.
Me: The technical term is "top".
Bro: That's about as much as I care to discuss gay sex.
