    It runs in my family. One uncle and his husband, one aunt and her wife, and a bisexual aunt, as well as two cousins. Of the 20 grandchildren (18 living), three of us are LGBT, myself included.

    None that I know of but some of them may just be closeted like me. Odds are that one one them must be.

    I have one that I know of for sure. My great uncle Ernie is gay. He also has a partner and they are both cute together :grin: It's been years since I've seen them so I'm not sure if they're still together though. My sister is questionable and I've suspected that she might be bi, but I don't know and don't really want to ask her.

    One of my aunts (not blood related) has two moms, and then my mom mentioned how my great aunt might be a lesbian. Other than that, there's nobody I know of, and my family is HUGE.

    I have lesbian aunts, who I visit every few months. They live on the other side of the state. Last time I saw them they told me all about their trip to Alaska. ^.^ They also have some children I never met. They'll likely get married in June once the new gay marriage law takes effect. :slight_smile:

    Also, sometimes I think my sister might be bi, but she's only nine so... I dunno...

    yep, my uncle is. I had a suspicion as well as my little brother and well I don't like to assume stuff. I didn't know for sure until my mother told me right before I went the bed the night I came out to her. I considered coming out to my uncle before my own parents but I chickened out or never got around to it.

    Lesbian cousin on my dad's side, but since my mother's side is Jamaican, I doubt there will be many who will come out even if they are gay. Oddly, one of my female cousins on that side has dated a girl before, but she still went on to have 2 kids, so...

    None by blood, but a few who are related to aunts and uncles that have married into the family.

    However, my cousin has set off everyone's gaydar pretty much since he could talk but he's currently dating a girl.

    Not that I'm aware of...I have a small family. Though there was my dad's gay half-brother who their mother disowned. He threw himself from a bridge eventually. My dad had met him once, if I recall correctly. I wasn't even a twinkle in me mother's eye yet. So yeah actually, a dead gay half-uncle. I wonder what his name was.

    I had a 3rd cousin that was supposedly gay. She never came to the reunions and everyone just kind of ignored the fact she existed except to whisper the fact that so-and-so had a gay daughter. I never met her. But last I heard, she got engaged to some guy, so I guess not. My extended family doesn't know about me yet, so, if y'all see south Mississippi explode and just fall off into the gulf one night, you'll know I finally came out to them.

    My awesome cousin is apparently gay but we've never spoken about it, never see each other.
    My other cousin is gay, we never see each other but I guess our relationship is okay-ish.

    I guess that's all, but it's more than alot of people. We have a huge family so I'd kind of love to see some more come out. :slight_smile:
    I'm curious who they might be...

    By the laws of statistics, you have so many family members that there is actually a high chance one of them is somewhat LGBT+ in a way.
    Some don't say it explicitly u know :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I have a huge extended family, both on mother and father's sides, and as far as I know, I am the only one who's gay. I had never thought about that until I saw this thread. Strange.

    I think I'm the only one. All of my siblings are straight. So are my uncles, aunts, and multitude of cousins (whose names I don't even know) living in Vietnam, to my knowledge.
