Poll question: Queer Birth Order Poll: I am a...
This:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=105&topic_id=132324&mesg_id=132324#133408

...got me thinking about sexual orientation and birth order. I don't believe orientation is the result of environment; however, the idea that one's birth order might have some effect on genetics is intriguing.

Let's find out where we all fall on the scale.

(Sorry to give the short shrift to the bisexual folks again, but these bloody polls only allow for 10 questions.)

2. If nobody beats me to it...
I'll do a real Kinsey scale poll just for our more flexible family members. :) (And I'll bet it ends up being a true bell curve!)

18. Both of my sons were born
by Cesarian, and I think they're both hetero. They're young still (20 and 16) and I'm open to the possibility that they're not "fixed" in their sexuality, although they've never shown any interest in guys, for what that's worth. :)

6. I might add
That my next oldest brother is family as well-- happily partnered for 14+ years

We're blessed w/ parents who have coped well, and then accepted with open arms

We know we're lucky in that regard

7. Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Sappho I have no idea how to vote. LOL

Because I have two younger half brothers I was kinda getting a little confused. But I decided to go with the family that I have always known in order to answer this poll. Because I have hardly had any true contact with my dad and two brothers, and don't really consider them family anyway. (But you know all this *scratching my head*) Is that ok? LOL

2 younger sisters, both straight. I have over 30 cousins and none of them are out...no g/l/b/t relatives of any kind.

Must have been the milk man! :7

10. Just an observation
from a hetero middle of six -- I've known lots of gay men, lesbian women, and they seem to have been all over the birth order place. I sincerely doubt birth order matters. Other than its usual influence on us.

12. i voted, youngest and gay
but another poster reminded me...

i was at a gay party once, everyone having a great time. someone mentioned that they were a caesarian birth.

someone else immediately chimed in, "me, too".

i also was a caesarian birth.

we went around the room and about half "claimed" to have been caesarian births.

it made me wonder.....

19. middle child
but unusual case. My younger sister is nearly 11 years younger and was utterly unexpected. Thus for most of my formative years I was a de facto youngest child.
