Each older brother you have makes you 30% more likely to be gay.

If that is true, then it definitely means that being gay isn't a choice.

BTW, posting links to gay related material makes you gay 100% of the time.

So... if I have 5 boys, the 5th will be 120% gay?

If you birth them, yep.

No, it will never reach one-hundred percent, it's like a bouncing ball never stops bouncing mathematically.

First child is, what, 10% chance. Next one is 30% MORE, so 13% chance. Then after that it's 16% chance, then 19%. But the highest percentage it will ever go is 99.9_%, because it's a percent of a percent.

So what's better, being gay because of genetic mutation, or being gay by choice?

Considering a large part of our personality (emotions and such) and the way we look comes form genetic mutation I can't say it would be much different.
