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.

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!

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?

The answer to y someone would want to show that a person is gay or lesbian is that some of the people using this program are using it for clinical work as therapists. Showing sexuality is an important part of families. So please just show us how to depict a male as gay or a female as lesbian using the appropriate triangle configuration.Thank you

Last year a message from Dan stated:-
We are still developing GenoPro and have no intent to stop development. For instance, yesterday we released a private build of GenoPro for a book publisher which plans to include a CD of GenoPro in two new [academic] books. You are welcome to visit the page at http://www.genopro.com/monica/, however I would not recommend using this build because the file format is likely to change in the future, and you may lose data. Once we are done with upgrading our file format, this version will be available to the public.
I have tried this build and it can be installed in parallel with GenoPro2007, but having noted the recommendation, do not now use it.
However if the ability to show the features you need are met here, you may consider it worth exploring. I do not know if features such as Report Generation are supported. If you look in this forum you will see that this is continuously revised to keep in line with external changes eg Google changing the way access to Google Maps, or IE8 behaving differently.
Hopefully data prepared with this new build can be used in future by exporting to xml format or if all else fails using gedcom (with all the limitations caused by this process); the choice is yours

Any progress on the depiction of gay/lesbian/transgender people? I could not understand the xml format option and the gedcom doesn't sound that helpful either. Is there a way to colour code the squares/circles depicting male or female as an option?
