Many gay brothers in a same family?

[Sha-Rok]

My partner has a twin brother who is also gay.

 

[giftart]

So far I think I'm the only one.

Out of all my siblings I am the only gay one.

I remember reading something some time ago that said it seemed to be more common if one twin was gay the other might be as well, if both were of the same sex (No idea if that's really true though).

Something else I had read was that "gayness" seems to run in families through the generations. Something about how women that have gay children tend to have more kids than women who just seem to have straight children.

I know you were asking about brothers, but I've got 2 sisters one is definitely a lesbian, and I'm pretty sure the other one is (she's at least bi). Weird when you think about it..

I know of a family (friend of a friend) where all 4 sons are gay. Now that must be a record?

I would say that is a record. On a sadder note, I remember reading about a family with four sons, three of whom were gay and all three died from AIDS. I can't even imagine the heartbreak.

Only one here. But I wonder how the Duggars will pan out....

I am an only child but there is a family I know and they aren't all gay, but I have done stuff with the Dad, his two sons and their stepbrother.

My brother and I are the only boys in the family and we are both gay. Not really aware of any others that are gay with gay siblings.

My brother is a womanizer so I guess that leaves him out as being gay. As far as a gay siblings my baby sister is a lesbian.
A friend of mine both he and one of his brothers are gay, they come from three boys no girls. So my guess yes it is possiable.

I have 3 brothers. Two of us are gay.

 

[chrmd1]

There are 4 of us boys, and 3 of us are gay.

 

[hotdog1846]

I'm the only one in my whole extended family, including cousins, second cousins, once-removeds, in-laws, ex-in-laws, stepkids, blended families, Hatfields, McCoys, Family Feuds, Richard Dawson...

... er, wait ... where was I?

 

[JasunStrikesBack]

My little brother is gay.

 

[Hypn0tik]

Well I'm gay and so is my younger brother. Not my older brother though

 

[sabot3ur]

my two best childhood friends were gay brothers. I'm the only gay in my entire family. well, the only out one at least.

 

[3nipples]

No brother here, but my grandfather had 3 brothers and all of them were gay.

 

[theworldwithout]

Oops, nvm. Meant for somewhere else.

 

[freefall]

The only one in the family too. But long time ago, my mom had a friend who had six sons and all of them are gay. It varies in families thus.

Interesting question...I have 2-Half brothers and we share different Parents. I Have no "whole" brothers..

On my Fathers side of the family there were/are several Gay men. My father comes from a very big family.

My Older Brother is Straight and when we talked years ago he started to tell me about a Dude on his job that was sorta interested in him then he "changed" the conversation...I didnt push and we never talked about that again..I don't know much about "his" mothers side of the family....

On my Mother's side of the family believe it or not all of her siblings, Aunts, uncles or whatever appear to be straight. Of course there may be several in the closet or whatever but they've done a Damn good job @ hiding it (Like me)...LOL..

My Kid-Brother is also Straight and believe it or not there are no KNOWN Gay relatives on "his" Fathers side of the family...


So with me it could have gone either way I guess..There's segveral Gay Men on my Dad's side and possibly Zero on my Mom's side...

So if you look at the results it appears my Kid-brother had a Higher chance of being totally "Straight" than myself since everyone appears to be "straight" on our Mother & his Father's side of the Tree ...
