Younger brothers of brothers more likely to be gay

It turns out that the more males that have been through a womb, the more the womb is set up to produce gay offspring. So if you have three older brothers, it's double the normal probability that you're gay.

Now you say, UT, this seems unlikely. Can you show us an equally unconvincing argument for this probability using Google?

I have 2 older sisters. Does that count?

According to the article it doesn't, but that's just a probability thing, you can still be first male out and be gay.

Sheldon seems very conscientious... I'm sure he'd put in extra time & effort if it were needed.

Maybe it's just because younger brothers get fed up of older brothers pinching their gitlfriends?
