Of course, this lead to several posts calling each other things like [CENSORED], [CENSORED] and that old chestnut, [CENSORED].

    That should get you up to speed, BlueDevil.

    After seeing how their media-hungry parents behave, I think there's about a 16 in 16 chance they'll just choose total celibacy. ; )

    Just to answer DAR's question, if one twin is gay, the other is more likely to be so also (even twins raised apart), but only more likely than the general population. The second twin is still most likely straight. I don't remember the exact numbers.

    Identical twins are more likely still to both be gay ( or both straight). But even that is not a done deal. Even identical twins don't have identical DNA. They have different fingerprints, for instance, and there's also the concept of certain genetic traits "kicking in" to different degrees. For instance, identical twin brothers may both have the gene for male pattern baldness, but it kicks in more in one and so he loses more hair.
