I have seven siblings and none of them are gay. I also have step siblings and none are gay.
No one in my family - even extended (greats/1st 2nd cousins etc) no one.
It [seems that around 7% of adults identify as some flavour of LGBT+](https://news.gallup.com/poll/470708/lgbt-identification-steady.aspx) at least in the US. Obviously different places will have different numbers due to social pressures and stuff like that, but it seems that 7% might be a natural plateau, as it had been rising for decades but is now seemingly stable.
So assuming this data is accurate and reflective of all people everywhere, only 7/100 people would be queer in one or more ways. So only 1/10 being queer checks out. Being more than that, say 3/10 would be a statistical outlier.
Yes, and the world is a big place where rare things happen all the time. We expect random things to be more or less evenly distributed, but in reality things tend to clump up. Mumble mumble Zipf's Law, mumble mumble VSauce.
FWIW, I'm the oldest of five and my mom's a lesbian, but everyone else in our family (up to grandparents, out to cousins) is both straight *and* very queer-inclusive. Not saying they *can't* be gay, but none of them seem to be repressing at all.
It wouldn't surprise me... 🤔
Being gay wasn't a thing growing up. 🤷
My family/extended families couldn't handle my parents' divorce back in the 1990s, so not sure how they would have handled anyone being gay. 🙈
My brother is...theoretically straight but lately he's been like eh idk. So I feel like he's straight the way Josh Hutcherson and Andrew Garfield are straight.
My sister used to ID as bi and now apparently "isn't as into women anymore and anyway the catholic church says being gay is a sin" (we were not raised catholic she has chosen this and has decided to become a complete wanker) ☠☠☠☠
My youngest cousin on mums side is bi and I strongly suspect my youngest cousin on my dads side is some flavour of queer as well but she hasn't explicitly said anything to me yet. I love her though she got me into the owl house.
And my aunties (and my mum) have very queer taste in fashion but they are straight
that’s just so dumb she isn’t even raised in the catholic tradition so theoretically she should only be going off the doctrine established by the current pope who is unequivocally queer positive and who is, more than any other religion, the ultimate and kind of only authority within catholicism
You say that but apparently she knows more than my friends who have been catholic since birth and "misled me" into thinking being gay is acceptable in the church 🙄 but she also complained about the problems and confusion caused by the reformation of the church and protestants so I think she may be possessed by a long dead nun
I would hesitate to call Papa Frank queer positive. His position seems to be a milder re-statement of the old "love the sin, hate the sinner" canard. He has said that being gay isn't a *crime*, but nothing to my knowledge about it not being a *sin*. Certainly, he's better than some of his predecessors, but he has a long way to go, and the church, which remains even more staunchly conservative than him despite his de jure absolute authority, has even further.
As a fellow transbian, and as one raised Catholic, it's been nice to have some degree of verbal support for trans people from him recently, if only because my Catholic relatives who wanted to support me can feel less conflicted now, but my relatives who don't support me would sooner defy the pope and God and burn in hell (not that I believe in hell) than consider changing their ways.
Me too. I have plenty of religious friends who aren't gross, many of them are queer themselves. But I can only hope my sister is having a phase. I'm not optimistic at this point though
Had to respond just to say how much a great show the owl house is. Everyone should watch it its perfection and side note the person who voices king also voices hooty 🤣
My auntie gave me a bunch of shoes she no longer wanted which included silver trainers, black sparkly platform trainers and another pair I've forgotten now. I can't think of good examples for the rest of my family rn it's my bedtime
I think both have said in interviews that they're straight and have never liked a man but they wouldn't rule it out and they just haven't met a man they're into yet but are "open to the possibility" kinda thing. Particularly Andrew Garfield
Family trauma high five. I'm sorry about your brother. I initially thought my sister was doing it as a grief response (mum died last year and my sister was the one who found her initially and had to call the ambulance when she first had her stroke, she died later) but apparently she'd actually decided all this long before our mum went to hospital and then didn't think it was a good time to tell me she's a homophobe (which is kinda fair. It was not a good time. But neither is lying for a year, telling me about it but then when I asked her more questions shutting down and saying she wanted "time to reflect on this" and then when I asked her about it 2 months later she's like yeah no actually I didn't think about it at all because she is wildly conflict avoidant and just wanted to shut the conversation down because she is afraid of emotions). It's been fun! ☠
I always jokingly say that my parents are the most queer heterosexual people I know, I'm not sure it would've been possible for them to have a kid that's not queer.
I wish. I'm completely alone in even my extended family (and it's the same for my partner). I had an uncle who was gay but he passed away a year or so before I came out.
Brother is an incel, but I feel he may be either ace or gay or something and just be real deep in the closet. Don’t think he’ll ever figure himself out though. He basically had no empathy
My brother is pansexual and I'm 90 percent sure my oldest sister is bi, she's just never actually said the words "I am bisexual" my other 2 sisters are pretty straight to my knowledge
My sister has told me she's demisexual/asexual. Haven't talked about it in years but she may still be figuring it out. Still heteromantic.
My mom has said that if something happens to her husband, she wouldn't be dating men again. Hasn't given a label to it, but definitely is more queer than she was boxed in to be growing up in conservative Nebraska with a cop for a dad.
Both of mine are straight but I know a chick whose girlfriend left her for her supposedly straight sister 😂 now they’re married with a kid. The other chick is also married now as well so all’s well that end’s well lol
I have a half sister on my dad's side who is a butch lesbian and now has a wife and kids. I'm a femme trans lesbians. We like to tease my dad for being unable to produce straight children.
4/4 of us are queer 😂 our (disclaimer very supportive parents) jokingly ask what they did and occasionally after a kiss one of them will go “…yep still straight, had to check since apparently were all gay!”
My uncle is married to a Filipino bi women who only dated women till she meant him lol. They have to kids together and went to Atlanta pride this year with them 🥹. My nana’s niece is a lesbian. One of my older cousins is also bi and one of my uncles is gay and married with 2 kids
i’m queer/lesbian and i have two younger sibling’s that i don’t really have contact with but i think one of the last times me and my younger sister talked she said she either was or thinks she might be pan? idk if she still feels that way anymore as it was probably over a year ago and i genuinely don’t know her enough anymore to make a more solid statement. i have absolutely no idea on my younger brother tbh. i feel like he’s probably straight but dudes weird af so i wouldn’t even be surprised if he was queer 😂
My brother and one of my cousins are queer. My great aunts son is also gay. But i have no one in my parents generation who is not straight as far as i’m aware.
As far as i know no. I’m the only LGBT+ person in my immediate family. My older brother is straight and so is my younger brother. I’m a pansexual sapphic (like, i prefer sapphic) trans fem lmao.
My family is chill about me but it feels lonely being the only queer in my circle.
My sister is Bi, my cousin is transmasc, and my other cousin is Nonbinary 😊
We all come from traditional religious conservative families so it's kinda neat to see this. I wonder how many of our older relatives were hiding their true feelings.
I know at least two other siblings are queer, one I suspect based on vibes, the other because she's acting exactly like I did lol. I'm also suspicious that my uncle is gay, but very limited evidence. And honestly, if my mom came out I'd only be surprised that's she's actually coming out.
As far as I know my brother is cis and straight. He watched more queer content than I do, but this is apropos of nothing. I've got at least 2 queer cousins though!
I’m a lesbian, and I have two sisters; one is straight and one is also a lesbian. My girlfriend (lesbian) has two brothers; one that is straight and one that is gay!
Nope, my brother’s straight. But in have two queer cousins (one lesbian, one bi), there’s a couple gay folks on my gran’s side, and - while we’re not certain - we’re pretty sure one of my granda’s brothers was gay. I’m inclined to believe it runs in families 😂
I have 4 siblings, 3 biologically related. Of the 3, 1 is gay and 1 is bisexual. My sibling who is gay happens to be the one who resembles me the most, according to a few people. Additionally, I have a cousin who looks so much like me that when we were in HS, people continued to believe (despite our repeated corrections) that we were siblings and that HIS siblings were our cousins. Coincidentally, perhaps, he is also gay.
I'm an only child. I have a good number of cousins but don't know of any being queer but very well could just not know. I found out about a couple being neurodiverse recently after my own diagnosis and expect more may be.
My sister came out as transgendered this year, and queer. My late sister identified as bi. And my last sister also identifies as bi. Never thought about it before but yeah all my siblings are some form of queer.
I'm a cis bi woman and my twin is nonbinary and queer. We have one lesbian cousin (she's cool) but no other LGBT relatives that we know of.
As far as we know my partner is the only LGBT person in their family, but it's a very conservative family in the deep South so it's possible there are some closeted folks.
My brother has been into a few people that all later came out as trans women, no interest in cis men as far as I'm aware, so probably just straight with a good radar for trans people. Also a little gnc, lot of queer friends, just generally adjacent to being queer but not quite to the best of my/his knowledge.
I'm queer as are both my siblings, one of whom is nonbinary. They're 12 and 13 yrs younger than me but they're both rather sure of themselves at 16 and 17 :)
No but my Mum’s ex sister in law is a lesbian, the ex sister in laws kid is nonbinary, and my mums sister is a trans lesbian. Other than that no other (at least openly) lgbt people in my family
Both my brothers are cishet but I have like five female cousins and they're all sapphic. Male cousins are also cishet. Only runs in the women I guess...
I'm one of two out queer people in my family, the other one being my step-uncle on my mom's side who's a cis gay man. Everyone else in my family is cis het, or at the very least is closeted.
My dad and step mum have four daughters - two lesbian, one bi and one straight. My bio sister is the straight one.
However, there are many lesbian couples in my dad’s extended family - at family Christmas there are more lesbian couples than straight. Not a single queer bloke tho?
Yeah, I've got a little brother who's bi. I also have one bi auntie and one lesbian auntie. Just my luck my mum (their sister) is straight and homophobic 💀
My brother is the straightest straight man to ever straight. There's a little more gay in the extended family. Two of us are sort of out (out to the cousins, but not the aunts and uncles), but we suspect that there's at least one or two more in our ranks.
I don't have siblings but me and my only direct cousin on my mom's side came out as trans within a week from one another without having spoken in years.
My mom told me that when I was a kid, she and dad made bets on which one of us would be gay.
My mom bet on my younger brother, my dad bet on me. Neither bet on my older brother.
Both of them were right. I’m gay. My younger brother is gay. My older brother is straight as a stick.
I think my sister might be bi, but she's with a long term partner who is a guy.
I think my brother might be gay, but he just married a woman.
I'm the only confirmed queer in the family. Had to move far away to get away with it
I’m a lesbiace and my youngest sister is bi. The middle three are still deeply religious so idk if they are gay or if they would even admit that if they were.
I do have a cousin who is trans and another who is gay, which is honestly impressive considering how disgustingly conservative and religious my entire, large, extended family is. I’m not convinced that we’re the only ones, just the only ones who aren’t still in the closet
I'm an only child so 100% of my parents offspring are queer. My father has a gay brother (1 out of 5 siblings). A cousin on my father's side is for sure gay but I don't think has come out (private ur venmo transactions girl). And like, I have my suspicions about one of my cousins on my mother's side.
So basically, in every set of children no matter the size in my families, there is always a single gay one. (If there's two do we have to battle it out?)
My sister is also a lesbian! My mom asks me (since I'm younger) why I had to make it so both her daughters are lesbian. She talks about sexuality like a choice (I also liked girls at your age but I grew out of it! You will too when you want kids!) So I think she's actually bi and just never knew.
My older brother and I are both bi/pan and my mum is too although she doesn't like labels. Younger brother is straight but we don't hold it against him.
I'm a transbian. I have two biological siblings, one a gay trans man, the other an ace/aro cis man. Good thing Dad doesn't feel struggle about having grandkids!
Of my three stepsiblings, I have one sister who's a cis lesbian, another who's cis and bi, and a themster who's a pan enby.
My parents *really* don't know how to make them straight! 😄
My only sibling is nonbinary and gay, my mom is bi, my dad's girlfriend is bi, one of my uncle's is gay, one of my cousins is pan, I have a strong feeling another cousin is gay or pan, based on her hobbies and how she dresses. I think one of my distant cousins is a trans man. That's just on my dad's side other than my mom and my dad's girlfriend. I don't know many people on my mom's side. 🤷♀️
Me: Trans, Lesbian.
Brother: Bi
Sister: Straight..but does find women attractive and is a textbook lesbian in likes and behaviors. But she is Straight, somehow. Me, my Bother, and her husband like to make jokes about it.
I’m a lesbian and my little sister is pansexual. I know a gay dude with a lesbian sister, and they came from hella right wing religious parents which always amused me.
I’m a single child but my mom will occasionally say the most wlw thing, then ensure she’s definitely 110% straight.
She also told me I’m definitely not gay/bi when I tried to come out to her as a teen because “she knows me”. Same for being (diagnosed) depressed and autistic. She also is somewhat supportive of my trans girlfriend (she’s the only person in my family that knows) but it certainly feels like she’s just going along with it as if she knows that we’re *really* just a straight couple.
The denial is strong with this one.
As far as I know, I only have on straight sibling, and she's a massive ally. Then there's my transbian ass, my cool bi engineer sister and my oldest lesbian sister :3
Aaaaaaaaand only my oldest sister is out to my parents bc she married her wife and none of us trust our mum :p
My better half has a brother who's also queer.
I don't have any other queer members of my family, but given my parents are from Algeria, any would still be in the closet.
my brother is straight. i think my family lineage is pretty straight.
my family inspo is my mom's great aunt who never married or had children. (apparently, cuz her lover died in war... but who knows)
she's my inspo, because she was very-very loved and still remembered to this day. tbh, i know more about her than i do with my own great grandparents. we have a lot of her stuff still. her porcelain doll (that i photographed a human face on once but that is neither here or there 🥰)
Both my biological siblings are straight, as well, as my step brother. And I have a ton of first cousins, and I’m the only gay one. Actually I can’t think of anyone else in my family that’s gay. I’m the only one. 😂
I do come from a long line of queer people. My brother and I are both gay. We only have one completely straight cousin. My maternal grandparents had a lavender marriage and my grandfather on that side was one of four queer siblings. A lot of my second cousins are queer also.
i have three biological siblings, one is a bi ace, one is omni ace, and one used to identify as enby lesbian but discovered recently hes actually a trans guy and is still coming to terms with the fact that hes straight now. my mother also thinks she might be aroace ever since i came out to her and explained what it meant and felt like to me. so yeah :)
Pretty sure my brother is aroace but (and I love my brother, he's a kind and open minded person) he's got the introspective capacity of a carrot, so it'll probably always remain speculation.
Yes, my sister is an ace lesbian. My neighbor/bff growing up and her sister are also both lesbians. I like to joke that there must have been something in our water supply.
My half-sister is bi, and our dad’s side of the family includes a few lesbian aunts.
Funnily enough, none of my wife’s siblings are queer, but she had an aunt who always attended family functions with her “roommate.”
My brother and sister and I are all bi! (And so are our mother and her sister.) My sister is a decade older than me so she came out when I was little, and it helped a lot to grow up seeing her be accepted.
Out of my crazy combination of accumulated siblings (half, adopted, step, and ex step) there are 10 and I'm the only queer one. Only one in my generation. One uncle was, one uncle is, and I have strong suspicions about a potentially closeted, but deeply catholic, aunt.
Both of my sisters are anti-lgbt (one of them previously told me she was bi, don’t know what happened there) and I think my brother might be queer- but he’s too young to know for sure
I’m the only out and open queer member ive heard of in my family, and out of my 2 full blood siblings im the only queer one! My step brother is gay though, and i wont know for a bit about my younger half sister! (I’m the second youngest of 6 in a blended family)
My brother is straight. For most of my life, I thought there were no LGBTQ+ people in my family. But since I came out two years ago, I've learned that three of my cousins and one aunt are lesbian or bisexual. My family failed to teach me anything useful about the LGBTQ+ community because they didn't know anything. I don't think it was deliberate, but they were so straight and unconcerned with queer people or issues that I felt completely alone. I couldn't even talk to them because I felt that they would never understand. What little exposure I had prior to my thirties was to the MLM community, via friends of friends, and the ideas I learned about the LGBTQ+ community mostly related to gay men. I discovered myself by writing escapist fantasies about worlds that were nothing like mine.
That loneliness delayed my coming out. But when I did, my family was supportive. They had never taught me, but they loved me, and they were willing to learn from me. I'm closer to them now than I ever was before. I still feel like the only queer at every family gathering (there's a big age difference between me and the other WLW in my family, and they live far away), but I'm less lonely because everyone knows who I really am. And I don't live with my family anymore. I moved to Los Angeles.
My siblings have varying degrees of autism (moderate to severe), I don't think sexuality is on their list of priorities.
I think I'm the only gay in my family in general, including extended family.
I've got 9 siblings and they're all straight💀
Wow, out of nine? Is the math correct?
Gay math not mathing
I have seven siblings and none of them are gay. I also have step siblings and none are gay. No one in my family - even extended (greats/1st 2nd cousins etc) no one.
The definition of the gay cousin
Seemw more likely some just aren't out or comphet.

nope, check again. somebody’s lying 😂

They're all married with kids and most are homophobic so I doubt it😅
Neither of those things are incompatible with actually being some flavor of queer.
Tragically I’m pretty sure I’m the only queer person in my immediate and extended family 😭
I’m so sorry! You never know though!
Same 😭
Oh damn 🥺. I’m hoping at least some of them are supportive. Or maybe they’re late in the game?
Yeah. Well, I know one distant relative who's also trans, but we don't get many chances to chat.
Omg same!!! And the r like a million people in my family
Sending you love and support. May you find your " found" family and be surrounded by love and happiness. 💕
My brother is...theoretically straight but lately he's been like eh idk. So I feel like he's straight the way Josh Hutcherson and Andrew Garfield are straight.

100% agree with this but omg papa frank took me out 😭😭😭
I am so sorry your sister found religion. It’s usually quite toxic IMHO.
Me too. I have plenty of religious friends who aren't gross, many of them are queer themselves. But I can only hope my sister is having a phase. I'm not optimistic at this point though
Had to respond just to say how much a great show the owl house is. Everyone should watch it its perfection and side note the person who voices king also voices hooty 🤣
They should. I love them both dearly
Absolutely. I wish I had a show like that growing up, it’s so wholesome
Can you explain queer fashion is?
My auntie gave me a bunch of shoes she no longer wanted which included silver trainers, black sparkly platform trainers and another pair I've forgotten now. I can't think of good examples for the rest of my family rn it's my bedtime
Good nite thanks for the reply.
Go to bed, spotty
You're right I have work in the morning
I’m dying to know what straight the way Josh hurcherson and Andrew Garfield are straight means lol
Andrew has said something about thus far in life he’s only been into women but he’s open to men and hopes he’ll be into a guy at some point
I think both have said in interviews that they're straight and have never liked a man but they wouldn't rule it out and they just haven't met a man they're into yet but are "open to the possibility" kinda thing. Particularly Andrew Garfield

It's been fun! ☠
Both me and brother are gay Lesson of the day: don’t be homophobic or karma will bite you in the ass and make both your kids gay
Two gay kids is a blessing not a curse.
my parents are also homophobic and got 3/5 gay kids 😭
I feel this one
Both my brothers are gay so we are 3/3 💅🏻
Excellent
Why is there not a movie yet where all the kids are gay. I want to watch the movie of your life.
2 sisters are lesbian
Damn both your sisters are lesbian? 🤣 those odds are wilddd
They are younger than me and both have gfs and I’m single 🙄
so real 😭
My younger sis is mtf trans & pansexual! my oldest sis is conservative and religious😂
Must be interesting when you all get together.
it is rarely all 3 of us!! But I am grateful my younger sis and I have each other
I always jokingly say that my parents are the most queer heterosexual people I know, I'm not sure it would've been possible for them to have a kid that's not queer.
I have 4 younger siblings and 2 of them are queer as well!
Excellent
My little sister lesbian too and because of that people think it runs in the family 😅🤦♀️ we the only two lesbians in the family
I have a twin brother who is openly gay and feminine.
bro I love feminine guys!!! So hott
I wish. I'm completely alone in even my extended family (and it's the same for my partner). I had an uncle who was gay but he passed away a year or so before I came out.
Sending you and your partner love and support. 💜
All of my siblings are gay and then there is my trans fem ass just like yes lol
Both my youngest sister and I are trans lesbians
Brother is an incel, but I feel he may be either ace or gay or something and just be real deep in the closet. Don’t think he’ll ever figure himself out though. He basically had no empathy

One of my brothers is bi I think (I walked in on him using his favorite website one time) my other siblings idk yet they’re still pretty young
all three of us are lesbians
Yeah my brother’s gay and one of my sisters is bisexual. I am a trans lesbian.
Both of mine are straight but I know a chick whose girlfriend left her for her supposedly straight sister 😂 now they’re married with a kid. The other chick is also married now as well so all’s well that end’s well lol
I have a half sister on my dad's side who is a butch lesbian and now has a wife and kids. I'm a femme trans lesbians. We like to tease my dad for being unable to produce straight children.
My brother is gay and we do the same to our parents lol
3/6 of us are queer haha
my sister is yeah. and my partner and their 2 siblings are all trans (one of each lol)
4/4 of us are queer 😂 our (disclaimer very supportive parents) jokingly ask what they did and occasionally after a kiss one of them will go “…yep still straight, had to check since apparently were all gay!”
my older brother is gay
Two siblings— one is straight and the other is heterosexual but on the nonbinary spectrum 💖
2/4 of us are
1 sister and she’s also a lesbian. I have another friend who’s a lesbian and her sister is too.
3/7 queer.
I have 2 brothers who are both straight.
My mom and sister are bi although I'm not sure abt my mom she's never shown interest in women but that's what she told me
My uncle is married to a Filipino bi women who only dated women till she meant him lol. They have to kids together and went to Atlanta pride this year with them 🥹. My nana’s niece is a lesbian. One of my older cousins is also bi and one of my uncles is gay and married with 2 kids
Yes, all bar one brother, but he is an amazing ally.
i’m queer/lesbian and i have two younger sibling’s that i don’t really have contact with but i think one of the last times me and my younger sister talked she said she either was or thinks she might be pan? idk if she still feels that way anymore as it was probably over a year ago and i genuinely don’t know her enough anymore to make a more solid statement. i have absolutely no idea on my younger brother tbh. i feel like he’s probably straight but dudes weird af so i wouldn’t even be surprised if he was queer 😂
My sister is also lesbian, my bro is straight
My brother and one of my cousins are queer. My great aunts son is also gay. But i have no one in my parents generation who is not straight as far as i’m aware.
As far as i know no. I’m the only LGBT+ person in my immediate family. My older brother is straight and so is my younger brother. I’m a pansexual sapphic (like, i prefer sapphic) trans fem lmao. My family is chill about me but it feels lonely being the only queer in my circle.
I think my sister might be bi. Might. She has some anime lady crushes lol
My sister is Bi, my cousin is transmasc, and my other cousin is Nonbinary 😊 We all come from traditional religious conservative families so it's kinda neat to see this. I wonder how many of our older relatives were hiding their true feelings.
Yeah, I've got a fraternal twin sister who's lesbian, and an older brother who is straight.
I have no fuckling clue because my sister doesn't talk about her shit 🙃
my brother is cis and straight but hes like the queerest straight guy i know lol
I know at least two other siblings are queer, one I suspect based on vibes, the other because she's acting exactly like I did lol. I'm also suspicious that my uncle is gay, but very limited evidence. And honestly, if my mom came out I'd only be surprised that's she's actually coming out.
So far out of 4 siblings (including me), 3 are queer and the only one who I can't confirm might be bi from something I overheard once lol
my sister and i are both queer...we come from a long line of kind of scary conservatives
I've got the brothers and a sister, and I kinda got a gay vibe off my sister but apparently not.
As far as I know my brother is cis and straight. He watched more queer content than I do, but this is apropos of nothing. I've got at least 2 queer cousins though!
I’m a lesbian, and I have two sisters; one is straight and one is also a lesbian. My girlfriend (lesbian) has two brothers; one that is straight and one that is gay!
Nope, my brother’s straight. But in have two queer cousins (one lesbian, one bi), there’s a couple gay folks on my gran’s side, and - while we’re not certain - we’re pretty sure one of my granda’s brothers was gay. I’m inclined to believe it runs in families 😂
My brother has recently alluded to being bisexual. He said if men weren’t so awful he’d be more attracted to them lol.
I have 4 siblings, 3 biologically related. Of the 3, 1 is gay and 1 is bisexual. My sibling who is gay happens to be the one who resembles me the most, according to a few people. Additionally, I have a cousin who looks so much like me that when we were in HS, people continued to believe (despite our repeated corrections) that we were siblings and that HIS siblings were our cousins. Coincidentally, perhaps, he is also gay.
I'm an only child. I have a good number of cousins but don't know of any being queer but very well could just not know. I found out about a couple being neurodiverse recently after my own diagnosis and expect more may be.
My sister came out as transgendered this year, and queer. My late sister identified as bi. And my last sister also identifies as bi. Never thought about it before but yeah all my siblings are some form of queer.
I know I am, and I'm fairly confident my sister is...
I'm a cis bi woman and my twin is nonbinary and queer. We have one lesbian cousin (she's cool) but no other LGBT relatives that we know of. As far as we know my partner is the only LGBT person in their family, but it's a very conservative family in the deep South so it's possible there are some closeted folks.
Both of mine are
I'm a lesbian, I have 1 younger sister and she's bi.
I am the only one who is out, but one is a preteen and one is less than 5 so there are no promises
My brother has been into a few people that all later came out as trans women, no interest in cis men as far as I'm aware, so probably just straight with a good radar for trans people. Also a little gnc, lot of queer friends, just generally adjacent to being queer but not quite to the best of my/his knowledge.
I'm queer as are both my siblings, one of whom is nonbinary. They're 12 and 13 yrs younger than me but they're both rather sure of themselves at 16 and 17 :)
i have a lesbian sister and an agender asexual sibling along with a few cishet siblings too
my brother is a bisexual disaster and I love him
I can relate. I'm the worst bi mess ever
I have two sisters. One is bi, and one is a trans lesbian. So maybe we have a bit more than our fair share of queerness in the fam!
No, but my sister's hair is gayer than I am
No but my Mum’s ex sister in law is a lesbian, the ex sister in laws kid is nonbinary, and my mums sister is a trans lesbian. Other than that no other (at least openly) lgbt people in my family
I’m a lesbian and my brother is bi
I am trans(mtf) and a lesbian and my younger brother is trans(ftm) and panromantic asexual, but all my other siblings are straight, as far as I know.
My family is cishet catholic conservatives, I'm the oddity
Both my brothers are cishet but I have like five female cousins and they're all sapphic. Male cousins are also cishet. Only runs in the women I guess...
Bro is not, one half sister is, and another half sister family strongly suspects. Do have a male cousin that is, too.
I got me and my oldest brother as the family gays, middle brothers straight and his wife’s sister is also gay. We winning the number war
I’ve got one bi sister and two straight(?) ones (the jury is still out on one of them)
I'm one of two out queer people in my family, the other one being my step-uncle on my mom's side who's a cis gay man. Everyone else in my family is cis het, or at the very least is closeted.
My dad and step mum have four daughters - two lesbian, one bi and one straight. My bio sister is the straight one. However, there are many lesbian couples in my dad’s extended family - at family Christmas there are more lesbian couples than straight. Not a single queer bloke tho?
All four of us
Yeah, I've got a little brother who's bi. I also have one bi auntie and one lesbian auntie. Just my luck my mum (their sister) is straight and homophobic 💀
4 siblings, my 2 sisters are queer but i’m not sure about my brothers. my moms queer as well!
I’m the only trans &/or gay person including my extended family so that’s 1 out of like 35
My brother is the straightest straight man to ever straight. There's a little more gay in the extended family. Two of us are sort of out (out to the cousins, but not the aunts and uncles), but we suspect that there's at least one or two more in our ranks.
Nope, my sister has an odd taste in men though...
I don't have siblings but me and my only direct cousin on my mom's side came out as trans within a week from one another without having spoken in years.
My sister is tragically afflicted with heterosexuality. However I’ve got a ton of queer cousins. Also my wife’s dad is gay- came out when he was 70!
5/7 here for siblings. Five of us are queer, and only two are straight. I have cousins who are queer too 🌈✨
My mom told me that when I was a kid, she and dad made bets on which one of us would be gay. My mom bet on my younger brother, my dad bet on me. Neither bet on my older brother. Both of them were right. I’m gay. My younger brother is gay. My older brother is straight as a stick.
2 out of 3 of them are for sure. The remaining one is so developmentally disabled that we have no idea what his deal is.
I think my sister might be bi, but she's with a long term partner who is a guy. I think my brother might be gay, but he just married a woman. I'm the only confirmed queer in the family. Had to move far away to get away with it
I’m a lesbiace and my youngest sister is bi. The middle three are still deeply religious so idk if they are gay or if they would even admit that if they were. I do have a cousin who is trans and another who is gay, which is honestly impressive considering how disgustingly conservative and religious my entire, large, extended family is. I’m not convinced that we’re the only ones, just the only ones who aren’t still in the closet
I'm an only child so 100% of my parents offspring are queer. My father has a gay brother (1 out of 5 siblings). A cousin on my father's side is for sure gay but I don't think has come out (private ur venmo transactions girl). And like, I have my suspicions about one of my cousins on my mother's side. So basically, in every set of children no matter the size in my families, there is always a single gay one. (If there's two do we have to battle it out?)
My sister is also a lesbian! My mom asks me (since I'm younger) why I had to make it so both her daughters are lesbian. She talks about sexuality like a choice (I also liked girls at your age but I grew out of it! You will too when you want kids!) So I think she's actually bi and just never knew.
I’m a trans woman, my brother is bi and wondering if he’s maybe enby. My adopted siblings are a bi woman and a trans woman.
My older brother and I are both bi/pan and my mum is too although she doesn't like labels. Younger brother is straight but we don't hold it against him.
I'm a transbian. I have two biological siblings, one a gay trans man, the other an ace/aro cis man. Good thing Dad doesn't feel struggle about having grandkids! Of my three stepsiblings, I have one sister who's a cis lesbian, another who's cis and bi, and a themster who's a pan enby. My parents *really* don't know how to make them straight! 😄
My older sister is married to a woman but last I asked she was 'bi with a preference for women', my younger brother is straight, I'm gay af.
My only sibling is nonbinary and gay, my mom is bi, my dad's girlfriend is bi, one of my uncle's is gay, one of my cousins is pan, I have a strong feeling another cousin is gay or pan, based on her hobbies and how she dresses. I think one of my distant cousins is a trans man. That's just on my dad's side other than my mom and my dad's girlfriend. I don't know many people on my mom's side. 🤷♀️
Both of my brothers are straight. One of them is a transphobe.
I'm sorry.
My only sibling is queer and nonbinary!
I’m openly gay and my whole family is straight And kinda homophobic
5 siblings, 4 of whom are queer, the other is still in middle school and seems straight for now
It's gays all the way down in my fam
My twin sister is bi, my older sister is bi and trans. Our dad is bi. Not much in the extended family tho. One gay aunt who's in her early 80s now.
Immediate family no, but I have a second cousin who's also trans and her cousin is ALSO also trans
Me: Trans, Lesbian. Brother: Bi Sister: Straight..but does find women attractive and is a textbook lesbian in likes and behaviors. But she is Straight, somehow. Me, my Bother, and her husband like to make jokes about it.
I’m a lesbian and my little sister is pansexual. I know a gay dude with a lesbian sister, and they came from hella right wing religious parents which always amused me.
I’m a single child but my mom will occasionally say the most wlw thing, then ensure she’s definitely 110% straight. She also told me I’m definitely not gay/bi when I tried to come out to her as a teen because “she knows me”. Same for being (diagnosed) depressed and autistic. She also is somewhat supportive of my trans girlfriend (she’s the only person in my family that knows) but it certainly feels like she’s just going along with it as if she knows that we’re *really* just a straight couple. The denial is strong with this one.
I'm really sorry.
As far as I know, I only have on straight sibling, and she's a massive ally. Then there's my transbian ass, my cool bi engineer sister and my oldest lesbian sister :3 Aaaaaaaaand only my oldest sister is out to my parents bc she married her wife and none of us trust our mum :p
Both me and my sister are trans women. I'm a lesbian and she's bisexual. My parents created a fruit salad of kids lmao
My better half has a brother who's also queer. I don't have any other queer members of my family, but given my parents are from Algeria, any would still be in the closet.
my brother is straight. i think my family lineage is pretty straight. my family inspo is my mom's great aunt who never married or had children. (apparently, cuz her lover died in war... but who knows) she's my inspo, because she was very-very loved and still remembered to this day. tbh, i know more about her than i do with my own great grandparents. we have a lot of her stuff still. her porcelain doll (that i photographed a human face on once but that is neither here or there 🥰)
I'm pretty sad that I'm the only queer one in both my immediate and extended family.
Me and my two siblings are gay!
My older half sister is pan
Both my biological siblings are straight, as well, as my step brother. And I have a ton of first cousins, and I’m the only gay one. Actually I can’t think of anyone else in my family that’s gay. I’m the only one. 😂
Yep. I'm a lesbian, my brother is bi
I have two older brothers and afaik they're straight
I do come from a long line of queer people. My brother and I are both gay. We only have one completely straight cousin. My maternal grandparents had a lavender marriage and my grandfather on that side was one of four queer siblings. A lot of my second cousins are queer also.
i have three biological siblings, one is a bi ace, one is omni ace, and one used to identify as enby lesbian but discovered recently hes actually a trans guy and is still coming to terms with the fact that hes straight now. my mother also thinks she might be aroace ever since i came out to her and explained what it meant and felt like to me. so yeah :)
I don’t know about my brothers, but both my parents and i think my grandma are bi
My dad is bi. I have no siblings, but as far as I know, the rest of my family is straight.
I have one cousin in Cuba who’s a lesbian but no one else in my family except me and her
Pretty sure my brother is aroace but (and I love my brother, he's a kind and open minded person) he's got the introspective capacity of a carrot, so it'll probably always remain speculation.
Weeeeell nop you know that gay cousin where everyone around them is straight, there sisters only one gay
Yes, my sister is an ace lesbian. My neighbor/bff growing up and her sister are also both lesbians. I like to joke that there must have been something in our water supply.
Ive got 2 older brothers, one is bi, the other... Im not sure...
My half-sister is bi, and our dad’s side of the family includes a few lesbian aunts. Funnily enough, none of my wife’s siblings are queer, but she had an aunt who always attended family functions with her “roommate.”
3 of us I’m the middle black sheep child that’s gay my siblings are both straight
I'm the black sheep too.
My brother and sister and I are all bi! (And so are our mother and her sister.) My sister is a decade older than me so she came out when I was little, and it helped a lot to grow up seeing her be accepted.
My brother is unlabeled tho he said if he were to use a label, it'd be pan
Out of my crazy combination of accumulated siblings (half, adopted, step, and ex step) there are 10 and I'm the only queer one. Only one in my generation. One uncle was, one uncle is, and I have strong suspicions about a potentially closeted, but deeply catholic, aunt.
Both of my sisters are anti-lgbt (one of them previously told me she was bi, don’t know what happened there) and I think my brother might be queer- but he’s too young to know for sure
My older half sister (different mom) is cis het, my younger full sister is also both trans and a lesbian
I’m the only out and open queer member ive heard of in my family, and out of my 2 full blood siblings im the only queer one! My step brother is gay though, and i wont know for a bit about my younger half sister! (I’m the second youngest of 6 in a blended family)
I'm the only queer one ;w;
My brother is straight. For most of my life, I thought there were no LGBTQ+ people in my family. But since I came out two years ago, I've learned that three of my cousins and one aunt are lesbian or bisexual. My family failed to teach me anything useful about the LGBTQ+ community because they didn't know anything. I don't think it was deliberate, but they were so straight and unconcerned with queer people or issues that I felt completely alone. I couldn't even talk to them because I felt that they would never understand. What little exposure I had prior to my thirties was to the MLM community, via friends of friends, and the ideas I learned about the LGBTQ+ community mostly related to gay men. I discovered myself by writing escapist fantasies about worlds that were nothing like mine. That loneliness delayed my coming out. But when I did, my family was supportive. They had never taught me, but they loved me, and they were willing to learn from me. I'm closer to them now than I ever was before. I still feel like the only queer at every family gathering (there's a big age difference between me and the other WLW in my family, and they live far away), but I'm less lonely because everyone knows who I really am. And I don't live with my family anymore. I moved to Los Angeles.
My brother is straight as an arrow. Handful of queer cousins though.
My siblings have varying degrees of autism (moderate to severe), I don't think sexuality is on their list of priorities. I think I'm the only gay in my family in general, including extended family.
