Election day 2024

Interesting. Seems like your family has a lot of gender identity issues. Where do you think that stemmed from?

I am of the opinion that two people out of a group of 120 plus (currently living, lots of 4 generational families and some large ones) is not a "lot of gender identity issues" -- but your mileage might vary.

While your family might have kept records, there aren't any in our family and of course on Ancestry there's no real documents that say "this person is gay" ...unless they're Oscar Wilde or some such.  So  I don't know how many of our ancestors had gay/lesbian siblings (since it's not a recent phenomenon... in fact, there's a well-known (presumably) gay couple from the time of the building of the Giza pyramids (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khnumhotep...iankhkhnum) and at least one of the Pharaohs was reportedly having an affair with the general of his army.

...and then there's the whole Spartans thing.

And Romans, of course.  And the Celts.  And Native American tribes (I'm 1/128th Native American) So, looking at the family tree as far back as I can trace it (German, Scottish, Scandinavian, English)... undoubtedly several, though how many of the thousands of ancestors were homosexual or bisexual is impossible to say.  But given that there's a heavy proportion of Celtic ancestors (German, Scottish, English, Irish) in our ancestry,  there's undoubtedly more than one.
