Thank you for the links. Regarding the first one: based on the paragraph that includes the paper's first mention of the word "twin", it appears that the genetic component only accounts for homosexuality in 32% of cases. Am I interpreting this properly?

No, it's not that 32% of homosexual men are gay because they inherited it. It is the odds ratio of genetic inheritability when you've already got homosexual men in your lineage.

Ah, thank you.
