This is true, and when it comes to gay males its somewhat safe to say they are born gay. The first real testosterone burst you get is in the womb, that is what sets up the brain as male or female in pattern, after birth there is no real hormonal differences between boys and girls until puberty, even though the behaviors are often obviously different.

I don't think you can use behavior has an accurate predictor, but boys who have more feminine behaviors prior to puberty show a greater likelihood of being gay as adults. I wont' be mentioning this to my brother in law, whos young son is very verbal for a boy

Now the way I look at the genetics is that there seems to be two components. I don't think there is a 'gay' gene, such a gene would not last for obvious reasons, I do think there is a gay tendency gene, this plus the right environmental factors with the mother is what changes a fetuses reaction to testosterone. Mothers under stress have been shown to have a greater number of male homosexual children than average and I think its that + the susceptibility which leads to homosexuality in males.

Most of the research seems to focus around male homosexuality, so I can't really comment on the female aspect as I've read very little.

You have to be, a man would just tear you appart if he was that mad, literally. It is also in our nature to murder. Hell might hath no fury, but give me the 5'6" chick over the 6'5" guy wanting to kill me any day.
