    It might have some biological basis, but I don't believe It's purely genetic. Lots of LGBT people come from cis hetero families. It could have a bit of environmental influence as well.

    It's a wrong kind of question to ask, I mean there is nothing to believe here.It's either proven scientifically or not, so far the evidence has been mixed and pointing to possibly multiple overlapping reasons.

    For twins, the stats I've read put the likelihood around 50% that you're either both straight or both gay.

    Literally no one else in my family is LGBT... Though I honestly *wish* it was genetic so we could have a more concrete reason why we should be accepted for the bigots...
