A better phrase would be, "The study didn't exclude twins."

That so-called study has been discredited for a number of reasons. Including the use of dated techniques and a generally inconclusive result. It really appears to be junk science like that deployed in the Global Warming argument.

Intuitively, based on the gay people I've met in my life I would have to say there is a strong genetic component.

But this conclusion, of course, would not represent science at all. And the science just doesn't show it. Until it does you can't reasonably conclude that there is a genetic component at all. Since no such connection has been discovered and there is at least substantial evidence to the contrary in the form of studies of identical twins as well as Carson's remarks on prisoners choosing to be gay.
