| All the prior posts around this subject talk about depicting a gay or lesbian couple. I am interested in depicting a gay or lesbian person who is not in a relationship. All the information I have shows that the symbols for gays and lesbians are the same as for a male or female except with the added feature of an inverted triangle inside the circle or square. Does GenoPro have a way of creating a symbol like that? Thanks!

| I must admit that I am strugling to understand why you would want to distinguish a person based on his/her sexual preference in a family tree (after all a person is still either male or female) but you can use different colors in Gender symbol and Gender fil in the Display tag. Bob.

mfriedes (10/10/2007)All the information I have shows that the symbols for gays and lesbians are the same as for a male or female except with the added feature of an inverted triangle inside the circle or square. Does GenoPro have a way of creating a symbol like that? You can use GenoPro's Shape tool to overlay a triangle onto the gender symbol e.g. 
However it is not easy to manipulate the shape object to achieve such a small triangle. It is easier to edit the coordinates of the shape in the underlying XML. I have attached a GenoPro XML file containing the above genogram so that it can be imported and the triangle copied , pasted, recoloured etc.

| There are a lot of reasons, not the least of which is to see possible genetic/hereditary or sibling placement relationships that may affect sexual orientation. I've seen some family trees that have at least one gay person in every branch on the father's side only. Thanks for the XML example!

We are adding to GenoPro the triangle to describe gay end lesbians, as in Monica McGoldrick's books.

| I am a new user. How do I access this shape for placement in my genogram? There are several family members to whom I would like to assign the gay/lebian triangle. McGoldrick also has an icon for transgendered persons. Is that also available?
