Genes that increase attraction to men cause mothers, maternal sisters, and maternal aunts to produce enough extra children to compensate for non-reproducing male.

My sister actually has had a lot of trouble reproducing.
My cousin, whose brother (also my cousin of course) is also gay, is super fertile indeed. She's gotten pregnant three times, all within a month of stopping birth control.

Funny, my brother is homosexual, and I am asexual (which doesn't really discount me having children..) and my mother and sister are like "super-fertile".. XD

And yet the uninformed still insist despite all evidence that to be LGBT is a "choice".

How does that work again? I mean, I can understand once, but considering a monthly, or near about monthly cycle... unless she is carrying triplets. If not, she may need to go see a specialist.

I didn't know your brother was gay. Is he christian too? how has he handled reconciling his sexuality and his faith?

"Within a month" modifies "stopping birth control" not "gotten pregnant."
