That's an interesting observation. It could be either genetic or environmental. The studies done on MTF transsexual brains seem to indicate a pre-natal environmental cause, a faulty hormone wash at about the 12th week after conception, and at least a couple of studies I've read theorize that hormones in the womb may have a profound impact on other aspects of human sexuality.

Or it could just be a coincidence. My twin was bisexual, I think, and my other siblings who are sexually mature seem to all be straight

Unfortunately, the world is filled with homophobes and religious bigots like my parents. Fortunately, there are also a great many people like my in-laws, who give Sissy and me the unconditional love our parents deny us.
