Ok, I came up 17% gay, less than average. So far, so good. So I take the gender test. They tell me I am definitely a man. Ooooh, I didn’t know that. (Maybe I should take the gay test again. If I’m a man, I am gay!) Funny, the drawing they have next to “you are definitely a man” shows a man in a woman’s business skirt… So they ask if they’re right or wrong. I click “wrong” and they say… REALLY? ``` You know, for every question, we track very carefully what each gender answers. This allows us to guess with the utmost accuracy what you are. And in the rare case where we guess incorrectly (like now), we have the opportunity to learn from nature's mistake. You. People like you, who walk the scary line between man and woman, are *very* helpful in understanding exactly what it means to be human. Thanks, and good luck. ``` Wow. I’m a bigger freak than I thought! ---

I took it and was amazed by the results, I’m so… average. I’m 38% gay, only one percent less gay than the average straight man. The raw number seems high but I’m actually a little suprised it didn’t rate me as gayer than that. The test was too focused on penises and drag queens. Sorry, I didn’t even answer the last question as I knew it was a trick. 😃 If they had asked a few showtune and Judy Garland questions I probably would have been rated gayer. You learn a few things with a gay brother. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by LoverBoy \* > Hey, did anyone notice that gay men are on average less gay than straight men, according to the test? (Straight men 31%, all men 28%.) Well, I guess the stats must be skewing, because by now straight men are up to an astonishing **39%!** However, _all_ men are now 40%, so the Friends of Dorothy are running just _slightly_ higher. Personally, I ran a 41%. However, if it hadn’t been for that ONE experiment on Mardi Gras, I’d still be down in the low 30’s… - Dave ---
