    so, if nurture is involved in being gay, let's see how it turns out in a poll.
    I have covered every aspect of nurture I could think of here. :slight_smile:

    My family's about as archetypal as it gets - until you get into the murky waters of my half siblings anyways.. my parents are happily married and they raised me and be brother (and my half sister beforehand) together equally.
     
  3. I was raised by my single mother. But my case is a little weird. My mother has equal amounts of masculinity and femininity in her. Like, she can cook and clean but also fix her car or build something from scratch if she needs to. So I was exposed to womanliness and manliness from the same person haha.

    By the time my parents had divorced and my dad started acting like an immature teenager who was out of the house for five hours at a time, I had already known I was gay for several years.

    My parents separated when I was like two years old and I have mostly lived with my mom since then and just visited my dad on weekends, or during the summer, or holidays, etc. But, my brother was in the same boat basically but two years older and I am pretty sure he is straight whereas I don't know what I am. Haha.

    My parents are like something out of the freakin' Brady Bunch. They were high school sweethearts, fell in love, got married, had kids, are still married and in love. Mom stays at home, dad works, both of them were really involved in raising us. We all get along really well!

    I was raised by both my parents, who are still happily married. Because of the hours they worked when I was little, I also spent a lot of time with one of my grandmas. I sort of consider her to by my third parent.
