So, what genetic link in your family is responsible for your child or children being gay? We've all wondered about it. The other night I had this discussion with a visiting relative who refuses to believe that her side of the family could harbor any gay genes. Her denial irked me in a way that made me furious and defensive. Then I calmed down and thought--who cares! Why does it have to be a blame game? I firmly believe sexual orientation is an inherited trait and am merely curious about the genetic link--not accusational. What is she so afraid of?
Maybe someday we will be able to claim family credit for the gay gene the same way we take credit for the genetic link to I.Q., creativity, talent and more. So there!
