This explains *so* much...

UC Berkeley psychologist finds evidence that male hormones in the womb affect sexual orientation.

What gets me is the bit about the likelihood of a son being gay goes up the more sons a mother has.

Why? Well consider that the more rabid sorts of fundie also tend to want big families and lots of sons. So that means the odds of their having gay kids are higher than the folks who go for smaller families.

Just reading your comment, I got the impression they were talking about the odds of one of the boys being gay. Reading the article, I see they meant more what you just described.

Still, looking at my hand, I have more of a male pattern for my fingers, and I definitely prefer male partners. Then again, I seem to be an exception to a great many rules :-).
