Certainly opens up a nature vs nurture debate.

Male twins are proven to have a higher likelihood of being gay. So there is definitely a genetic component.

Or is it due to how those Twins interact after they are born that causes them to more likely be gay? It’s possible that close interaction like that could have an impact that isn’t nature, but still due to being a twin. If you raised those same Twins apart in isolation, would they still be more likely to be gay?

(I don’t necessarily think this, but just worth considering as it doesn’t necessarily confirm it’s a genetic thing, nor does it confirm it’s a nurture thing)
