Interesting I have friends who fall into your first option. Even down to the fact they are twins.

apparently 20% chance both on twins being gay if one is.

Homosexuality May Start in the Womb | Science/AAAS | News

From a strictly Darwinian viewpoint, homosexuality shouldn't still be around. It isn't the best way to pass along one's genes, and to complicate the picture further, no "gay genes" have even been identified. According to a newly released hypothesis, the explanation may not lie in DNA itself. Instead, as an embryo develops, sex-related genes are turned on and off in response to fluctuating levels of hormones in the womb, produced by both mother and child. This tug of war benefits the unborn child, keeping male or female development on a steady course even amid spikes in hormones. But if these so-called epigenetic changes persist once the child is born and has children of its own, some of those offspring may be homosexual, the study proposes.

Evolutionary geneticist William Rice of the University of California, Santa Barbara, felt there had to be a reason why homosexuality didn't just fade away down the generations. Research estimates that about 8% of the population is gay, and homosexuality is known to run in families. If one of a set of identical twins is gay, there's a 20% probability that the other will be, too.

Furthermore, Rice notes, "homosexuality isn't just a human thing." Among California gulls, which he watches from his office window, about 14% of pairs are female-female. In Australian black swans, some 6% of pairs are male-male, and 8% of male sheep are attracted exclusively to male partners.

so good news for the welsh, 8% of rams like man loving!

I think you will find there are 2 types

1. Born gay - a friend of mine was there was no doubt he was gay before he was a teenager. His brothers most definitely weren't including his twin.
2. Born / raised Bi - will try both may settle one way or the other depending on experience, a night with Brillo is apparently enough.

"Brooke has had some criticism from the LGBT community"

They never seem to be happy that mob, I think the title gay is somewhat misleading.

As long as they like it too.

Every which way but loose...

It works more like, you do what you like with who you like, and don't do what you don't like with who you don't like. "The scale" is a metaphorical construct intended to convey the idea that there are as many sexual orientations as there are people, and reductive attempts at classification based on presumed norms are inherently bound to fail.

As long as they like it too.

Sounds like you have alot of knowledge on where and when to meet. Why is that?

Because I know people that go. If you want me to put you in touch, send me a PM and I'll pass it onto the group organiser.

Who cares why?

[BrilloPad]

Might I suggest that if you have genuine queries, you go to the monthly Biphoria group meet-up at the LGF in Manchester. First Tuesday of every month, and then get-together in the pub afterwards.

It sounds like you have questions, and there will be plenty of welcoming people there who might be able to help you.

WTF how would this work...

It's almost like sexuality is a complicated topic that takes some people a lifetime to figure out. This place scares me some (most) days.

Not for me. At 5 I used my batman mask as a gimp mask. Its been the same ever since.

You're doing it again Nick. Futile.

I misread the title as "Lesbian OF the Year"

I thought it was going to be a top 10 of the best lesbians, listing their top sexual acts which singled them out from the crowd for this worthy title.

Listing? I was expecting piccies.

How does one get to judge these events?

[NickFitz]

WTF how would this work...

so like if you are only 6 on the scale you will suck d!ck but not swallow?#

and an 8 will only allow you to put 3 inches in their ass and not all 5 and a quarter????

sounds like bull sh!!!!t to me.
