Boys with older brothers more likely to be gay, study says

Birth order might have more to do with sexuality than many realize.

New research found that having an older brother increases men’s chances of being gay, according to a study published Wednesday in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B.

The findings from German and Canadian scholars showed that men with older brothers have a 38% higher likelihood of being homosexual than men who don’t have an older brother.
