Schumm ran the numbers om them and nclud that, surprisgly, 20 percent of the kids of gay parents were gay themselv. They vastly overtimate the number of gay people, and also the fluence of geics. In an terview, she said the study is further evince that prev reports of a "gay gene" on the X chromosome are wrong.
