Older brothers being queer with younger brothers being straight is a thing that happens in real life, only less likely than younger brothers being queer with older brothers being straight (as my case.)

Of course, neither does it constitute proof, in isolation. Remember the “rule” is about probabilities, so your case is not an exception. Of course, neither does it constitute proof, in isolation.

Lets do this. Assuming that the average rate of gayness in men is 9.5% (based off my preliminary google results), we will assume that the % Gayness of a firstborn is 9% (slightly guesstimating here, simply because it's a lot of work to determine average siblingness, and the majority of men do not have older brothers. Think about that for a minute for me. You'll understand.) Next, let's assume that the increase constant is the geometric average of 30% and 50% (we're multiplying here) so we get that it is approximately 39% (again, rounding). Then, plugging in for the chance of heterosexuality starting at 0.91: 0.91*0.39^(n-1) where n is the number of sons. We can use this formula to calculate the gayness probability for ANY son (note that it is simply a guess, each case is different). I declare that this formula shall hereby be known as the heterosexual formula. Thanks for listening. TL;DR: 0.91*(0.39)^(n-1) SO YOU WANNA MATH BATTLE?
