Have tidied up and renamed cluelessch1x0r to seeingred, 'cos frankly, I'm not that clueless. Now I just need to make a "redheads against racism" icon. :-)
I carry red-hair genes, so I'm hoping to have a red head someday. My surrogate niece and nephew (as well as my real nephew) are red-heads. They are lovely young people.
My grandmother (on Mum's side) was the rich auburn red that certain Irish people have. Several cousins from that side of the family have had red-headed kids and my husband's family has red-heads, so its very likely we might have a red-headed child. I think all red-heads should be proud of their colouring (and stay out of the sun).
Several researchers have shown that the population of red-heads in Ireland tend to occur around the areas that the Vikings regularly raided. Since the Viking were into rape and pillage, they left a small genetic present behind.
I'm not sure where I saw this (possibly New Scienctist ages ago), but it struck me as an interesting notion.
I have a brother, but he's blonde and married (so I'm presuming he's straight until other evidence emerges), so he probably fails your criteria. I'm a brunette and we don't look anything alike. Which has lead to confusion on occasion.

I've been playing quest-giving RPGs too much...
