I have an older brother and I'm gay. It all makes sense now.
Liam Jackson
Apparently it's epigenetic, and it's a way nature found to increase the chance of survival in a group in case they are too much children to feed, it's a certain type of birth control.
Adrian Bennett
Younger brother is gay. Can confirm.

Always wanted a perverted cousin :(

Well, get ready for a lot of abortions of second male children.

>We conducted a direct test of an immunological explanation of the finding that gay men have a greater number of older brothers than do heterosexual men. This explanation posits that some mothers develop antibodies against a Y-linked protein important in male brain development, and that this effect becomes increasingly likely with each male gestation, altering brain structures underlying sexual orientation in their later-born sons. Immune assays targeting two Y-linked proteins important in brain development—protocadherin 11 Y-linked (PCDH11Y) and neuroligin 4 Y-linked (NLGN4Y; isoforms 1 and 2)—were developed. Plasma from mothers of sons, about half of whom had a gay son, along with additional controls (women with no sons, men) was analyzed for male protein-specific antibodies. Results indicated women had significantly higher anti-NLGN4Y levels than men. In addition, after statistically controlling for number of pregnancies, mothers of gay sons, particularly those with older brothers, had significantly higher anti-NLGN4Y levels than did the control samples of women, including mothers of heterosexual sons. The results suggest an association between a maternal immune response to NLGN4Y and subsequent sexual orientation in male offspring.
I have older and younger sisters, and I want to be the little girl. What does it mean?
Jayden Williams
>may They don't know shit and just want to push the "born gay" meme. It's just as possible that having an older brother makes you a fag from the emasculation seeing a bigger dick on a regular basis or something lmao
Carter Robinson
Why would god make people gay?This makes no sense!
Samuel Green
Being gay is a genetic defect like being born blind or American.
Blake Edwards
Come to think of it, my uncle was a bit prissy, while my dad is the type who would shoot a man if he takes too long finishing a sentence. I don't think he's gay, but he's produced two beautiful blond children, so I don't really care if he is or isn't. The duty is complete.

What about older sisters?

I’m the eldest with two younger brothers and I’m a tranny what the fuck happened when I was born just how much went wrong who is responsible?
Oliver Phillips
I don't care what caused it unless you're figuring it out to find a cure
Adrian Ramirez
I'm fine with being gay being biological as long as that means we're accepting that gender is real, is usually the same thing as sex, and there's only 2 of them.

Dominic Sullivan
>having older brother makes you what to be gay >my older brother is already gay w-what this means ? i suppose to become super gay?
Double gay makes either a straight or an ultra-gay
Michael Foster
No that having older brothers increases the chance of subsequent siblings being gay by about a third. That doesn't make it universal.
Anyone here good with probabilities who can set up a numeric model?
Grayson Garcia
My little brothers are very straight and drink heavily from the kosher approved heterosexuality that is niggers I think that it probably starts at a randomly generated number for gay % chance and keeps going up the more normal kids they have but resets to .01 when they have a gay kid but idk for sure
Anthony Hall
My older brother is gay.
Robert Hughes
I guess the logic here is that, having a brother, opens you up to feeling and caring about another man and loving him deeply.
Therefore you opened the flood gates to feel deeply about other men and are more willing to get ass raped
Elijah Nguyen
No.

have an older brother, can confirm
Juan Moore
plus, this is old news. I've read about this years ago in my younger teens when trying to figure out why I was fucked up
Luke Walker
That's fucking hilarious.
Elijah Nelson
Older brothers cockblock their younger brothers, especially if the younger brother is better looking or more athletic. I'm very good looking, and my older brother would dump drinks on my head, slap me, talk over me, etc. whenever chicks were around. He's 7 years older. The funny thing, is that he is also good looking, just not as much.
Kevin Young
I thought this was already common knowledge. I remember reading years ago how having older brothers was the number one predictor of homosexuality, and the more brothers, the greater the likelihood
Isaac Peterson
I think it's actually the younger brother looking up to the older brother and programming those feelings of admiration and trust as love. It probably happens to the younger when they are closer to their old brother without any other siblings. Kind of how Father's are supposed to take their daughter's on "Daddy dates" which are supposed to teach them how to have a positive relationship.
Brandon Bailey
I’ve noticed this trend for a while, at least anecdotally. I always thought it was due to the first born almost automatically taking the alpha role due to higher age somewhat being a proxy for higher strength, thereby assigning submissive roles to the other male children to reduce group infighting.
Independent of families, I always imagined that polygamous societies ran out of women frequently, and so lower caste men would have to substitute women with young boys, and that being compliant in that situation as a boy would increase your chance of survival (for obvious reasons).
Oliver Perry
I have an older brother and I fantasize about banging traps so it must be true.
Asher Jones

Nathan Morris
have you considered doing (((science))) professionally?
Youre spot on. Look at Jake Paul. That dude is clearly gay and likely due to his jacked chad brother bullying him all his life. Kind of sad in a way.
Brayden Hernandez
I don’t advocate for polygamous societies, I just said that they exist. The fact that essentially all of them have been failures simply means that gays are an aberration of an obsolete system and have no natural role in a civilized society.

Or if the older brother is gay then it becomes a chain reaction with the older molesting the younger, ala Lena Dunham molesting her younger sister and destroying the younger child for life.
Fucking shitballs, how much more obvious can this get?
Blake Lee
>opens you up to feeling and caring about another man and loving him deeply Women are only good for breeding and child-rearing, tho. If you want something like a soulmate, you have to look for a male friend. Women can relieve your stress and soothe your tired conciousness, and you should thank them for that and cherish them for what they are, but if you want someone to truly rely on, you will inevitably look for another man, a friend, a brother, a father, a boss, etc.

Easton Cruz
Younger children tend to be later life kids. It's obvious somethings going to be wrong with them.
Owen Powell
No, it is mich more insidiousthan that. Think about it. As a firstborn son you do not have the guarantee that your younger brothers will be from the same father, thus carrying mostly the same genes as yours. Now, if you could only ensure that the ones born after you have a decreased chance of reproducing then your genes would win the reproductive race as a net effect.
Firstborn sons actively modulate their mother's epigenetics to sabotage their younger siblings. Selfish genes, nothingless. Oh btw they could only see the effect in right handed males. Left handed seemed to be immune. May even be a genetic defense mechanism against older sibling sabotage.
Jaxon Young
Note that this only holds for when you have older brothers (not for older sisters).
Ryan Diaz
The mother being affected by it also plays a part: they probably benefited from this in evolutionary history as well.
So I rather assume it is more like preventing competition between the sons: The first born son can impregnate as many women as the clan has; later born sons would not benefit the amount of second generation descendents the mother has; if they would compete with the older son, possibly kill each other, it would even harm group;
Instead, only the older son reproduces, while the others can still be helpful for hunting and gathering resources.
Andrew Harris
85% of faggots have older brothers; the "hostile womb" theory is real.
Jayden Thompson
I stick my benis in 11yo little brother butter... can confirm-
Anthony Morgan
Another idea is that gayness in humans is actually a trick on other male members of the group: Gay group members are apparently not interested in females, so they may have been left with the group, while the other (higher ranking males) were on a hunting trip. During this time, the ostensibly gay man, could engage in sex with the women and have offspring; something that would not have been possible for a low ranking male, if he were not considered gay.
Aiden Adams

Tyler Russell
Thus, a younger son, who is likely to have a low rank in the group, could actually benefit from being (apparently) gay

Younger brother of two here, I dont think i am gay but i know for a fact my older brother is gay because he once sucked my dick when we were both sleeping together one night. So i dont think this article is factual
Carter Reed
1st brother -Highest T level, married
2nd Brother -Dramatic and touchy feely towards men especially when drunk, engaged
3rd Brother- Does performance art, girlfriend
Which one of the younger two comes out first
Adrian Hernandez
I think there's already pretty good science based around testosterone exposure in utero, and the effect that can have if it spikes or is missing at certain weeks when specialized parts of the brain rapidly develop.
I think its week 11 and week 30 are thought to have influence over sense of gender identity and sexual preference. It's essentially a good theory for how we get both gays and transgender people.
Testosterone levels can vary due to genetics but we also have good research that it varies depending on how many males the mother had previously birthed.
So all seems fairly plausible to me.
Mason Miller

While you we're typing that shitpost an emu was fucking your wife
Chase Adams
so you're saying that back when families had 12 kids there were more gays than today because more people had older brothers
Cameron Allen
Each time a woman gets pregnant with a male it boosts her immune response to testosterone - her antibodies actually attack the fetus' testosterone receptors due to exposure - like an allergen. It doesn't matter if she carries the baby to term or not.
Now think of these women who are promiscuous, and have frequent miscarriages and abortions. Her libertine lifestyle pretty much assures she will have a weakling faggot child if it's a male, because by the time she has made the "unselfish" choice to actually use her body for what it was meant for - that is, to procreate, her immune response is through the roof in terms of being primed to emasculate her unborn child. On top of other shit, like telegony and carrying dna from every dude that insemenated her, as well as having her emotional and bonding responses worn down from having serial relationships (some call this maturity, it is actually oxytocin fatigue).
You can't build a legacy on a roastie.
Jace Wood
have two brothers, I am the middle child. Younger brother is already married.
Samuel Brown
It's well known that younger brothers are more likely to be gay.
If you've already had children you've passed on enough genes, any more and overpopulation becomes a risk.
As a result, this phenomena has never been selected out.
