It's rather interesting because the truth is that studies have shown that gay men tend to be from families where the women have more kids (gay men, according to research, tend to be late-born compared to siblings).
"In a sample of 98 homosexual and 100 heterosexual men and their relatives (a total of over 4600 individuals), we found that female maternal relatives of homosexuals have higher fecundity than female maternal relatives of heterosexuals and that this difference is not found in female paternal relatives. The study confirms previous reports, in particular that homosexuals have more maternal than paternal male homosexual relatives, that homosexual males are more often later-born than first-born and that they have more older brothers than older sisters."
Evidence for maternally inherited factors favouring male homosexuality and promoting female fecundity. - PubMed - NCBI
So it's very fertile women having multiple kids who are more likely to have a gay son, and it's usually after she's had some other kids before him. Thanks, conservative religious people who encourage large families, for keeping our numbers up.
