Re: Is this a homophobic/bad trope

Having a bi character that has lots of brothers isn't homophobic. Implying that her sexuality could have been influenced by environmental factors is not great though. There's no strict scientific explanation for human sexuality variations, but I believe it's been thoroughly debunked as being the result of environmental factors.

Additionally, the idea that homosexuality could result or be influenced by environmental factors is heavily pushed by homophobic institutions. Especially those that insist that homosexuality is curable.

Those institutions have caused a lot of harm, and continue to do so. I think even the suggestion of an environmental influence on someone's sexuality is therefore best avoided altogether.

This. I don't think anything good comes from implying that one's environment can influence one's sexual orientation. It's too close to the idea that you can make someone gay or conversely, pray away the gay.
