Just off the cuff, though, I'd guess that there might either be (a) a parallel compensating advantage for their brothers or (b) the factor of women often having the choice of whether to have unprotected sex "taken out of their hands," shall we say. Either way, this epidemiological study hasn't pinpointed the gene nor does it claim that this could be the sole genetic factor in male homosexuality. That hasn’t been explained yet.

Genetics isn't that simple -- genes for something as common as homosexuality don't just constantly appear out of nowhere. If a gay man's hetero siblings carry genes responsible for his orientation either partially as recessive traits, in full as sex-linked traits that don't affect their gender, or in full, but unexpressed due to environmental effects on development, then it passes on.

Studies show that a couple in which both of the members are heterosexual can still produce a homosexual child, since one can carry the gene without being gay (I'm assuming it's recessive or something?).

That's why the homosexuality gene still exists, because there is an evolutionary reason for it in females.

A forerunner.. Scientists dont tend to speak in absolutes though, Good scientists at least. There'll be plenty of reasons by the end of the investigation. :) Thats one of the reasons yes!

What? Look up the word Genetic Bekah.. because what you said sounds well.. Very very silly. Unless your ultra religious and dont believe in basic biology. Then you get a pass. :) ……….. What?
