Do the sexual inclinations of parents influence those of their children? Of 77 adult children of homosexual parents who volunteered for three different investigations, at least 23 (30%) were currently homosexual: twelve (55%) of 22 daughters and three (21%) of fourteen sons of lesbians; five (29%) of seventeen daughters and three (17%) of eighteen sons of gays; none of six sons with both a gay and a lesbian parent. At least 25 (32%) were currently heterosexual. Of the ten with transsexual parents, one of nine daughters was currently lesbian, one was currently heterosexual, and one was transsexual. The son's sexual preference was not reported. These findings suggest that parents' sexual inclinations influence their children's.
父母的性取向会影响子女的性取向吗？在自愿参与三项不同调查的77名同性恋父母的成年子女中，目前至少有23人（30%）是同性恋：女同性恋者的22个女儿中有12人（55%）、14个儿子中有3人（21%）；男同性恋者的17个女儿中有5人（29%）、18个儿子中有3人（17%）；父母一方为男同性恋者另一方为女同性恋者的6个儿子中无人是同性恋。目前至少有25人（32%）是异性恋。在有变性父母的10人当中，9个女儿中有1人目前是女同性恋者，1人目前是异性恋者，1人是变性者。未报告该儿子的性取向偏好。这些研究结果表明，父母的性取向会影响其子女的性取向。
