As someone that used to be homophobic in highschool, I can confirm this is the case. My dad is super homophobic yet all of his kids, including myself, are at least bisexual.
To my knowledge there is no hard evidence for sexuality being primarily genetical?
There is evidence. See the fraternal birth order effect for just one example:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraternal_birth_order_and_male_sexual_orientation
And scientists have created lesbian mice:

(Side note: it's hilarious they shorthanded the enzymes to FucM)
Yeah, I think you are right and I couldn't find anything. I just find it highly suspicious that my dad is hardcore homophobic when more than half of his immediate family is gay or bisexual. Like, even his brother is gay.
Could just be random chance. My maternal blood relatives are entirely afab and I have a lot of them. I'm the only amab born into my family, however I am trans. The odds of that many girls in a row are really low but not impossible.
