Take the Gay Test at this link: ## [http://test3.thespark.com/gaytest/](http://test3.thespark.com/gaytest/) "You are 31% GAY! That’s exactly as gay as expected for someone of your gender and supposed orientation. The typical straight guy is also 31% gay!" I got a rating of 31% gay which is supposedly the exact amount of gayness a typical straight male should have. _INTERESTING STATS_ The world-wide gayness average is 24% 19% of all test takers describe themselves as gay. 20 is the gayest age. Women average 22% gay. Men average 28%. ---
