Can people inherit a gay trait from their ancestors?

no. that may be correct however research has shown in sets of familys that there is more than one person who is gay also research has been done of twins where one is gay and one is not its hard to pin point if there is a gay gene but there has been studies that suggest that there is a gay family tree and it depends on how you define gay you may be just gay or have had relationships with people who are of the other sex for many reason social religious and been attracted to those of same sex in some familys its every other generation or third example granparent has shown same sex indicators mother father not child is gay or great grandparent has shown indicators grandpartents not mother father not child may show indicators or twins one is one is not Ignoring what the person above says, being gay is is your genes. Its not going to be in every member of your family, but it is a trait that can be passed on. I don't see whats wrong being gay. Sometimes its a choice, but sometimes you just cant help it.

If homosexuality is in the genes wouldn't that mean identical twins should be either both gay or both straight?

Yes, that is true--to an extent. In 1991, a psychiatrist at Boston University and a psychologist at Northwestern (Richard Pillard and Michael Bailey, respectiely) published a scientific study on sexual orientation and twins. Their findings showed that if one identical twin was gay, the other twin had a 50% chance of being gay, too. For fraternal (i.e. not genetically identical) twins, the rate was only 20%. Since identical twins share the same genes (mostly), the 30% difference is thought to be due to a genetic cause. In other words, identical twins are more than two-and-a-half times as likely to both be gay as other siblings are. In 1993, a National Cancer Institute researcher named Dean Hamber found that brothers who were not twins who were both gay shared a part of the X chromosome (Xq28) more frequently than did gay men whose brothers were not gay. This also implies a strong genetic link to sexual orientation. The research continues in the biological or genetic source of sexual orientation, but these and other studies are increasingly pointing to at least a biological if not a genetic component to sexual orientation.
