    Not true. The gene that studies link to homosexuality is an X-chromosome, and can be carried as a recessive gene by females- as in the hetero mom can pass down the gene without being gay. Also, there's plenty of closeted homosexuals that bang one out with strait people in their lifetimes.

      "The gene that studies link to homosexuality is an X-chromosome..."

      You should not drink and post.

      I assume you mean "allele", not "gene", unless you're talking about genetically modified people with extra genes. Also, what you have there is a corrolationary study, as genetic studies necessarily are. However, there is no strong evidence for a particular "gay" allele, and people with 100% genetic identity (twins) aren't necessarily both gay or straight, which pretty much dismantles the mendelian recessive inheritance hypothesis you're suggesting.

      Are there examples of twins where one is gay and the other not?
      That would be interesting.

        Yes, there are. I met some myself. They are recorded in what are called "concordance" studies.
