I wonder if there's any correlation with an absentee father for gay men?

I can't say for gays but i herd somewhere that there was a study with MtF transgenders where a large percentage had one thing in common."lack of a father".

I've had my dad my whole life, we get along just fine and I'm gay. Maybe correlation does not equal causation?

Not necessarily, no. It may though. I'm just wondering how accurate it was. You have look at broad numbers of people and their relationships in the family. One person doesn't make a study.

Oh yeah, big correlation, also factors like child abuse, drugs, social isolation etc.

This was an element of conservative anti-gay discorse since the 50s.

If this correlation really existed, don't you think someone would have proved it by now?

Strong correlation with sexual abuse at young ages
