Anderson incorporated his own family into his installation "Where Do Queers Come From?", which has been exhibited in seven different venues. He asked family members — including another brother, who is a Baptist pastor — to participate by videotaping their comments about having gay relatives. In addition to immediate family, two nieces and a sister-in-law also contributed, he said.

The installation also includes a "genetic wheel of fortune," with options including homosexual, heterosexual, bisexual and transsexual based on percentage of the population fitting into each category. This feature — with its underlying assumption that sexual preference is genetically determined — caused the show to be closed in one Mississippi venue, Anderson said.
