Is There A Gay Person Named Gene In Here?
Inquiring minds want to know. Seriously though folks, concerning gay genes, or innate inclinations, I've always gone with the theory that it's a sliding scale sort of thing, where some people are gayer than others, both in nature, and in activity. What do you think, and is your name Gene, or some variation thereof?

1. My brother Gene isn't gay, but it will get him a gig, he's willing
to learn. :)

3. No, he's got to really be gay, not just pretending
and he's got to be in here.

4. Well, no gay Genes, but plenty of gay genes. Gay and Bi
people in my family; gay people in my husbands.

I'm Bi and one of my sons is. I think there is a spectrum. It's either that or fear of commitment :)

2. My middle name is Gene, after my father
I'm gay and my father is a fundie christian republican from Texas.

Of course, no one calls me Gene.

And on the sliding scale, I'm pinning out on the gay end.

5. Concerning genetics, I'd say that it's most likely a combination of genes
rather than any single gene that would predispose for a complex behavioral characteristic such as gayness. The degree of gayness could also possibly be affected by the balance of chemicals, and other factors while in vitro.
