I tried it as a female who has sex with men, and got 56%. Then I tried it as a male who has sex with women, but answered all the other questions honestly, and got 46%. So I guess I’m just a happy well adjusted hetero whichever way you look at it! ---

26% gay. But I _am_ gay. Geez, what’s so straight about DIY and fighting in the street? ---

"Smegmoid\* is 16% Gay! You’re a walking, talking, red-blooded hetero guy. Just way to straight for these modern times, mate!" I’m sorry, but that questionaire sucked ass. Perfect example: Would I rather be a dog or a cat? What the fuck is that supposed to indicate? I want to be a cat because they can jump high and climb trees. So is that “gay” or “straight”?? \*The name just “sprung” into my head. Glad I didn’t dignify this stinker with something more creative. ---

Wow. 70% gay! I _knew_ it!!! 🆒 My boyfriend is going to be…yeah, probably not surprised. I am pretty butch, for a bi-girl. Even though I’ve never had much of a relationship with a women besides “wanna fuck?” I think I definitely have more than a bit of queer-itude going on. Actually, I wonder if it doesn’t actually check one’s gender orientation rather sexual orientation? Because while I am bi, I do prefer men. But I am SO a guy trapped in a woman’s body. ---

I’m still trying to figure it out: Which is more gay, wanting to be a cat or a dog? In another thread (too lazy to link), there was some discussion about how “gays prefer cats”, which is utter bollocks, as far as I’m concerned. Everybody “knows” urban gay men, at least, prefer dogs, because you can walk them in the park, and chat up other cute dog owners (I mean, duh, the breeders shouldn’t have a lock on this tactic). My years living in Dupont Circle in DC pretty much sealed this perception in my brain. In fact, one time I dropped down in the middle of the sidewalk to ogle a guy’s pug (I think pugs are adorable, even if they’re the ugliest things on four legs), and got offered his phone number! I was such a naive Maine boy. I remember I said something along the lines of “Do you need someone to walk it?” The guy looked at me like “Oh, you poor, poor thing.” (I hope some folks can have a sense of humor and regard my post as being in good fun, though I honestly think there’s something to my observations). ---

Scumpup is 26% gay! I’m not sure how they can arrive at these conclusions based on the questions they asked. Wouldn’t it have made more sense to ask “have you ever tasted a dick or wanted to taste one?” than to ask whether $100 seemed like to much to pay for a shirt? ---

20%. Presumably, that’s the 20% of the time I’m watching musicals, cooking, or grooming myself. 😉 ---

66% gay- Careful! you’re not a gay cliche yet, but are wll on your way. Bet all the girlie girls just adore you! Naw, I tend to get along better with the non-stereotypical girls myself.- Hmmm if it hadn’t been for the fighting in the STREET question, I might have scored higher- I mean I’ve had fights, but never in the street- always indoors. ---

53% gay. Eh, not quite accurate. I’m a bit straigher than that. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-gay-are-you/275795.md?page=5) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-gay-are-you/275795.md?page=7)
