I read about that somewhere and they found it held true whether or not the gay child lived with the older brothers. This strongly suggests it is a hormone effect in the womb.
Originally posted by Conrau KAll it shows is that something is happening in the womb (one suggestion is that it is an immune reaction to maleness). Obviously in some women these conditions may occur with the first child. This could be to do with genetics or the environment at the time etc. It could also be that there are a number of totally different factors that cause homosexuality. But I still think that it is most likely, in most cases, determined before birth.

Its worth reading through Wikipedia on the subject:

A lot of different theories, but it is clear that brain structure is an important factor and that is determined very early on.
