If you have a gay brother or a lesbian sister, how would you react?

Many people have had the dilemma of confronting this gay issue in the family. As society becomes more open and accepting, gays and lesbians who were once living their lives secretly are now openly declaring their sexual preferences. This means families of gays and lesbians will have to confront this issue head-on.

A recent study on the brain of gay men and lesbian women may help shed some light onto the issue. The study shows that gay men have brain similar to straight women and lesbian women have brain similar to straight men, which may explain their sexual preference.

A notable comment in this study is that whatever changes in the brain may have happened very much earlier, either while in the womb or in early infancy. This would contradict the belief that gay men and lesbian women were somehow conditioned to lean towards same sex partners by their environment. Rather, their preference may have been inborn.
