This doesn't have much info, but it mentions the twin studies and also a specific gene that might be linked (which I didn't know about).
This study says that, in their analysis of a twin registry in Sweden (which eliminates any influence of which twins volunteer for a study), same-sex sexual behavior seems to be about 34-39% genetic for men and 18-19% for women.
This one lists the results of several other studies over more than a decade, which found homosexuality to be 1) 37% genetic in boys and 82% in girls, 2) 70% for both, 3) 50% for men and 37% for women, 4) 50-60% for men and 30% for women, and 5) 0% for men and 49% for women. From their own study, they found a stronger link for men, though (at least in the free preview) it doesn't say how strong.
The majority of the research suggests that there is a moderate link, and that it's stronger for men, though obviously there's still some debate.
As for the medication part, I learned it from this book (which I don't have on hand or I'd look up their sources), but here are a couple other sources (the second one is a completely random website, but it's the full text of, coincidentally, the article I initially grabbed). It's a bit hard to search for most of the results are about gay people having higher rates of substance abuse, and the rest is mostly about the impact of pregnant women taking (or having recently taken) hormones (like the first link), which says more about the idea of it being influenced by hormonal conditions in utero than anything else. That 2nd link indicates a potential link to thyroid medication (which is also a hormone, but probably not one you'd think to associate with sexuality), antiemetics, and gamma globulin.
Thanks for the contest.
The item from my wish list that would change my life the most if I received it would be this book, the reason is because I am planning on going back to school after 7+ years. I am finally able to do this, I am going back for my RN. Because I haven't attended college for so long I was told I have to start back over. I was able to pick up this class (YAY will be knocking out 3 pre-reqs!) on Monday. So this book would be one of the helpful in changing my life around for the better.
