How many of you have gay relatives, be it immediate or extended family?

[rareboy]

several on my paternal grnadmother's side.

and at least one of my cousin's kids is in the closet...

But I am the only out and open homo hanging around our family tree.

 

[Negasta]

My youngest cousin on my mother's side of the family, is as queer as a 3 Dollar bill at a pride parade. Nobody needed an official coming out to figure it out.

 

[Vannie]

None....But I do have a married brother with kids who loves to decorate the house and put potpourri here and there. Just throwing that out there.

I learned a few Christmases ago what happens when OCD encounters holiday decorating....

There are four siblings in my nuclear family. Two sisters and I are gay. Mom's side of the family- her brother gay, two of my cousins on her mother's side are gay. Father's side - two gay cousins on dad's father side. Our parents are gone, but they were accepting of us. Straight relatives know about some of us and are accepting.

 

[HoodedRat]

Don't know, don't care. I have absolutely zero interest in my 'family', immediate, extended, or otherwise.

 

[agayguy]

2 sisters, myself. Mom's side- her brother, two cousins. Dad's side- two cousins.

^is it because you waived your tail in front of him ?

I literally can't even remember what he looked like. If he had struck my fancy, I woulda given him the tail flick. But apparently he didn't. Just as well - it might have been distracting having the gargoyle loudly banging the brother of the groom up in the belfry during the ceremony.

The only one I know of that might be is my cousin. Never knew of him to date and he has had a “roomate” for years. Funny thing is our first names are only one letter different and our middle names are the same.

 

[Latimer]

No one in my family, however my partner has a second-cousin-once-removed and a great uncle.

 

[EJMichaels]

Biological relation - a great-uncle. As a young child (in the 1960s), I just assumed I had two uncles living together and didn't understand they were a couple. Later, I was very glad to have someone to come out to, especially since I could ask how the rest of the family might react.
Some people think my nephew is too (based on fitting a lot of stereotypes), but he hasn't shown interest in men. There's also the son (or maybe he's a step-son) of my sister-in-law's sister, who married a man, so that one is definite.

 

[radioian]

Me & my female cousin are gay ; so is my 1/2 brother from my dads second marriage

 

[Tentpants]

Only myself and one cousin are gay, out of a very large extended family on both sides.

Funny thing is: I remember having a crush on him back when I was about 10!

 

[DonQuixote]

My mom was the 2nd oldest of 7 kids - her older brother was gay.
One of my younger cousins on that side is out and proud - got married the day SCOTUS made it legal - before IN went to court to get a stay for a while.

Our older daughter is bi, as is her BF.

I would have sworn another, even younger cousin was based on mannerisms, but then he got married and they just had son #2.

 

[Zeno Lorea]

I have a cousin (the oldest son of the oldes sister of my father, has 22 years older than me) who is gay and a catholic priest.

 

[MakeDigitalLove]

My mother has a cousin who is gay and has a husband and child. Maybe more than one child at this point. I’m sure there are others I don’t know about.

There are a few people I suspect in my family I suspect but don’t for sure.
