Hey Folks,
Thank goodness this recent report is just based on “science” and isn’t mentioned in the Holy Bible – there goes that stupid “reality-based community" again !!
If we didn't know better, it could convince people that hating gays is as stupid as hating blondes or tall people.
As Rev. Phelps will tell you, “Jesus hates Science almost as much as he hates gays!! – ‘Satan’ and ‘Science’ start with the same letter!!!”

Men with older brothers more likely to be gay
By RANDOLPH E. SCHMID, Associated Press
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.
"It's likely to be a prenatal effect," said Anthony F. Bogaert of Brock University in St. Catharines, Canada, "This and other studies suggest that there is probably a biological basis for" homosexuality.
S. Marc Breedlove of Michigan State University said the finding "absolutely" confirms a physical basis.
"Anybody's first guess would have been that the older brothers were having an effect socially, but this data doesn't support that," Breedlove said in a telephone interview.The only link between the brothers is the mother and so the effect has to be through the mother, especially since stepbrothers didn't have the effect, said Breedlove, who was not part of the research.
Bogaert studied four groups of Canadian men, a total of 944 people, analyzing the number of brothers and sisters each had, whether or not they lived with those siblings and whether the siblings were related by blood or adopted.
He reports in a paper appearing in Tuesday's issue of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that having several biological older brothers increased the chance of a man being gay.
