[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know several families who have more than one gay child.  My sister's wife has 2 gay siblings (out of 4 siblings total), meaning 3 of the 5 kids are gay.  These are people in their late 30s who have faced serious hardships because of their sexuality; it is not a fad.  It is possible that having a sibling come out could make another sibling feel safe to come out, but that does not mean the sibling isn't actually gay.

[b]Being gay is not a choice,[/b] and so makes sense that it would run in families like many other traits do.[/quote]

I think for the most part you are correct however, I think for some it can be a choice.  There is nothing wrong with it being a choice btw.  [/quote]

So is heterosexuality a choice as well?[/quote]

Sure, why not?[/quote]

And how old were you when you consciously decided to be straight?[/quote]

People keep asking this question thinking it’s a gotcha. Here’s the thing. Most people are straight. So when most people have their first hetero experience, it does confirm that they are straight. Others grow up thinking they are straight and have their first hetero experience and think...hmmm...didn’t like that. They realize after some experience that they are gay. So actually, yes. There is a time when we confirm that we are straight. [/quote]
