Well I'll start off with my family. First off there's me who's gay, then there's my older brother who's gay, then there's my sister who I'm 90% sure is a lesbian ( I can't be certain because I haven't seen her since I was very young ) and my other sister who's straight.

Just wondering if this is just coincidence or there really is homosexuality running in the family :L
RAWR! I'm a hamster :D

I'm not quite sure, but it seems to be in my family too... My niece, who's my age, is also a lesbian. And we think my brother is a gay... So, it could run in the family, but still, i think there are a lot of families where only one is a queer...
This is where we both get scared...

My Aunt is a lesbian, and I'm gay... but no one else in my family is

I suppose it could be a factor

My brother's never had a girlfriend, but I don't think he's gay. I know of about 100 relatives, and only one was gay- my mum's cousin, unfortunately he died of AIDS a few years ago.

I know a bisexual who has I believe a lesbian mother (by that I mean that she gave birth to her)

Also there were some studies done, and it is theorised (note THEORISED) that when a woman has multiple males the likely-hood of the next one to be gay is higher. I don't know how true it is, but I thought I'd throw it out there.

@ Connor, I had seen that in a lot of places- something to do with her body becoming better at dealing with the testosterone levels associated with carrying a male with each successive male that grows in her womb. Interesting stuff when you look into it Emoticon: Smile :)

It's a little off topic but you can string together some of the facts to get an answer.

Yeah, I think it has to do with some type of antibody.
