twins

[bongerman]

a gay friend of mine has a straight twin brother. They're not identical twins though. Does anyone know of any identical twins where one is gay and one is straight?
Has any research been done on this?

(This is a serious question and I'll be p!ssed off with any "joke" answers)

My bnrothers are identical twins and one is gay and one is straight. My brother (the gay one) tells me that this is not that uncommon.

If Newtron is right it probably shows that gayness is not inherited from our genes but is learnt(?) via the environment .

without appearing predjudiced, i state this.

If gayness was genetic, by its definition we would have bred out the gay gene long ago. As gay people would not produce offspring.

Therefore there must be another cause for changes in sexual preferance

I have a couple of friends who are identical twins (spookily so) and one is gay. The other is emphatic that he is not!
