I know it's Saturday and my brain quit functioning yesterday, but am I
interpreting correctly the above statement as; 
	In families with 2 or more male children, if one of the children
	is Gay, then the odds are greater that the other(s) will be
	also (gay).

I can only recall knowing one set of gay twins, While in the Navy in
Kingsville, Tx, there were these two fellows. They called themselves,
'White Russians'. I think their family came from Southern Russia.
HUBBA-HUBBA! they were real hunks. Also, for what ever it's worth,
they WERE NOT identical in all ways, either. ;-)

On the other side on the coin, anyone venture any stats on incidents
of Gay fathers/gay sons? or Gay parents/gay children?
