I know of two sets of twins, male, where one is straight and the other gay. One set is of identical twins, too. So, in my experience I would say, "not necessarily." On the identical set, the straight one was the first born. It has been my observation that the first born, at least of male identical twins, seems to be the more aggressive one of the two. No scientific basis for any of this - just my observations.
What else can I help you with?
Is one identical twin always gay?
No, one of a pair of identical twins is not always gay.A 1991 study (Michael Bailey & Richard Pillard) in the USA found that when one identical twin was gay, there was a 52 percent chance that the other was gay too.With fraternal twins, if one was gay, the chances of the other being gay were only 22 percent.If being gay is strictly genetic, as many people think, then with identical twins their sexual orientation would alwaysbe the same, both gay, or both straight.
What suggests gay orientation?
Sexual attraction to members of the same gender suggests gay orientation.
Are most gay people twins?
No, most gay people are not twins. Sexual orientation is not determined by having a twin sibling. It is influenced by a combination of genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors. Twins can have different sexual orientations just like non-twin siblings.
Is homosexuality a disease?
No. Homosexuality is simply a sexual orientation and is in the same category as heterosexuality. Simply because the majority of people are not of that sexual orientation does not make it a 'disease'.
Are you gay if you and your friend do each other in the but?
Sexual orientation is determined by the gender(s) to which a person is attracted, not specific sexual acts. Engaging in sexual acts with someone of the same gender does not necessarily indicate one's sexual orientation. It's important to recognize that sexual orientation is a personal and individual experience, and only the individuals involved can determine their own sexual orientation.
Is a person who has a sexual orientation to persons of the same sex?
This is called bisexual.
Can familial status include sexual orientation?
It wouldn't, no matter what your orientation is, you would still hold the same place in the family.
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.
