Everyone is looking for a environmental factors this could be one. Sexual Assault Risks among Gay and Bisexual Men - NCBI - NIH "One half of men (50.8%) reported childhood sexual assault" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4117833 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4117833 Similar: https://i.stuff.co.nz/national/3949087/Abused-more-likely-to-be-gay https://i.stuff.co.nz/national/3949087/Abused-more-likely-to... Here is the speculation part: the more older brothers one has the older they will be from you and entering into sexual experimentation with younger brothers. A quick google shows that this is normal behaviour but the sings are normally similar ages. I tend to think its probably a mix between nature and nurture.

Seems more likely that the causality is in the opposite direction

I suppose it depends on causality - do otherwise "str8" men who experiment with other men "turn" gay, or do "queer" men self select themselves for such experimentation? Regarding your hypothesis, I'd suggest that perhaps queer kids are more likely to be targeted by older male relatives for sexual abuse.
