A colossal study in the Netherlands has solidified the long-speculated correlation between men being gay and having older male siblings. The New York Post revealed that Scott Semenyna, a university professor, emphasized this linkage, citing its documentation across Canada, the United States, and several other nations including Mexico, Brazil, Turkey, and Samoa. According to Semenyna, the fraternal birth order effect, recognized since the 1990s, suggests that men have approximately a 33% higher likelihood of being attracted to men for each older brother they have. The cumulative nature of the effect is notable: the more older brothers an individual has, the greater the impact. For instance, having one older brother increases the probability of being gay to around 2.6%, in contrast to the 2-3% probability observed in the general population. NPR further noted that with five older brothers, the chance of being gay reaches about 8%, quadrupling the baseline probability. The recent groundbreaking study in the Netherlands with an astonishing nine million participants, has reaffirmed previous observations and introduced a new dimension to the findings. Jan Kabátek, one of the study's authors from the University of Melbourne, disclosed to NPR that the extensive research demonstrated a similar association for women. Women in same-sex marriages were also more likely to have older brothers compared to other types of siblings. #Queer Up The USA View
