To answer your question, for twins, yes it is a good predictor, but for non-twins siblings then no, no evidence of that.
Also, for a huge majority sexuality is actually quite simple. If you only have sexual feelings for the opposite gender (i.e. erections) then you are straight and will probably stay that way you whole life.

I am a gay man and I live in a muslim country where it is illegal and punished. If I had to choose, what should I wish for, that my people would share my values, or that suddenly the laws and ethics of my county allow for differences in values?
Right now I would choose the former as it would surely make me happier. I would be happier because on top of not having to hide, I would feel closer to my family, friends, and fellow countrymen. It is more important to me to share values with people than to be permitted to have different ones, as it seems to me more like a compromise than an ideal.

> It would allow for one to express themselves
How so? What kind of expression?
And what type of conflict are you thinking of? Doesn’t conflict allow for violence and soffering? Is it possible for those to be ideal?

The edit really elevated the comment from stupid to amusing.

Actually its variability with age is very small when measured objectively. Otherwise there would exist favorable outcomes to conversion therapy. Also non-straight sexualities are less common than heterosexuality, as straight people seem to constitute 70 to 83% of the world population
