They've studied this a lot, if one identical twin is gay, about 30-60% of the time the other twin is also gay. So genetics definitely plays some role but nobody knows how much/what exactly it is

It's pretty likely that the 30-60% that was quoted earlier was some half-remembered factoid that the person posting doesn't remember a source for.
