“You’re a straight-laced girlie girl with just a hint of your butch side sometimes popping out!”

Lemme go back and take it as a man, though . . .

\*_76% gay_ (that’s the spirit!)

“Careful–you’re not a gay cliche yet, but you are well on your way. Bet all the girlie girls just adore you!”

. . . So, ummm, I adore myself?

I like how I’m \*\*not \*\* bi, but I’m 53% gay. This is my fault for street fighting. Maybe I’m gay from the waist up.

50% gay. Perfect for a bisexual woman, I guess. 😃

You’re very open-minded between the sheets and just as balanced when out on the streets.

They’ve found me out.

43% for me, which is odd since I don’t identify as bi, omni or anything other than plain old Mo, hold the relish.

Oh, meant to ask - was I the only one whose jaw started dropping when it did the initial meter run-up to 100? After it hit somewhere around 75 I started to get nervous.

46% gay

Which may explain my odd fondness for Broadway musicals.

Heh, I took it again as a woman:

63% gay  
“Careful, you’re not a dyke cliche yet but you are well on your way. Bet the guys at work are your mates.”

36%, British probably works out to about 45% gay American. I wonder if my willingness to get my head shaved for a cancer fund-raiser made me seem gayer than I am.

Me, too. I was thinking “Jesus! I like girls! I’m gay just because I use a cleansing face treatment!?!?!”

My metro-sexual ex-brother-in-law took the test and he is 66% gay. But he’s straight. Or so he says.

He says he’ll make out with a man but he won’t f\*\*\* him.

That’s all. We’re drunk.

An even 50%. What am I supposed to do, flip a coin?

I guess I have no sexual preference whatsoever. Whoever’s most attractive…oh wait, that’s me :D.

“50% Gay. Congratulations! You’ve scored right in the middle and are a happy and well adjusted hetero man!”

Happy? Maybe if I got more girls. 😉

According to these test results, I am 43% gay.

Apparently, that makes me a “well-adjusted hetero babe.”

40%.

Also, yeah, I was definitely thinking “WTF, d00d?” during the initial gay ramp-up.
