Toni Anne - I think I know where LatinDaddy went wrong with the numbers in his research. If you are interested, please see his newest blog, where he sites the research. Very interesting. Here is my response, posted in that blog:
Latin Daddy - thanks for posting some of this research. In previous blogs, you have stated your interpretation of this information as right-handed males, in order of birth, being something like 1st - 2%, 2nd - 33%, 3rd - 66%, and 4th - 99%. Or around those figures, anyway. Now I see how your miscalculation occurred. The actual study states that, Blanchard and Klassen (1997) reported that each older brother increases the odds of being gay by 33%, so this means that you don't ADD 33 to each son born, but that the initial 2% chance of being born gay becomes 2% TIMES 33%, which amounts to 2.66% (approximately) for the second son, 3.54% for the third son, and 4.70% for the fourth son. Now do you understand? You have misinterpreted these statistics in a BIG way....
