I believe yes that it is caused by various genetic "traits" that hold influence in certain family-lines, not that it is genetic in the sense of, "I have brown eyes or blue eyes so my son or daughter will have them." I'm a male Homosexual, and I do have oe older brother (Fraternal-Birth Order Affect) and my Mother and her Maternal line all medically have a "Hyper-Fecund" reproductive success, something that was said to be a great possible cause by Prof. A. Camperio-Ciani. I also have on the Maternal side a 2ND cousin Lesbian and two 4TH cousin Lesbians who are sisters.

I never thought too much into the genetics and stuff, I just know that you're born gay. 
Because like, you can't choose it. 
My uncle might be gay, but you know. 
I didn't read it all, lol.

Currently, there are many prenatal studies where they are analyzing if homosexuality can be attributed to certain chemical levels in the womb during pregnancy.
