By definition the shared environmental factors are any environmental influences that the twins have in common.

So are parents considered shared environmental factors or not!?

If they are, the study sucks and makes too big an assumption. If not, the study doesn't contradict the claim that parenting has an influence on a childs GID/sexuality!

Quote:

For what you're saying to be true, the differences in the children's upbringing and interpersonal relationships would have to be so profound that there was literally nothing they had in common that would tend to predispose to homosexuality--even though they are the same age, have near-identical physical features, grew up in the same family, and have the same peer group

Yep.

Quote:

And this would have to be the case for every single pair of twins in the study.

Nope. It only needs to be true for some of the twins in the study.

Dude, do you really think getting a sex change is in any sense of the word the "easiest" way for a gay men to attract other men in 2011?

If they can do it before puberty hits? Absolutely.

There are far more straight men than gay men. (The world hasn't gone insane yet.)

See, there's just not any evidence for your premises.

Evidence is just a matter of conducting the right experiments.

Quote:

And there's a lot of evidence for homosexuality being the result of factors that have nothing to do with the sexual orientation of your parents.

Of course there is, I never denied it.
