Gay or not quiz
Am I gay? Take this ask to find out (or not)
‘Am I gay?’ quizzes were commonplace in my internet search history as a closeted tween.
I contain vivid memories of combing through each questionnaire, predominantly on BuzzFeed, answering questions about my favourite animal (guinea pig), dream position (acrobat turned weather reporter) and the sports I played (tennis). I also have vivid memories of manipulating each response to seem straighter than I was.
“What’s your favourite colour?”
Pink, I’d retort . Wait, no – grey! That’ll do the trick!
The quiz would inevitably spit out an answer: “You are 72% straight.”
Good enough, I’d think, looking at the obviously fabricated score. Sounds about right.
Cut to present day, and I’ve come to realise that these quizzes are a gender non-conforming rite of passage – and something I still take part in as a year-old, % gay adult … just to make sure I’m, y’know, % gay.
I’m not talking about the sincere online questionnaires genuinely aimed at decoding sexuality. No – I mean the extremely restrictive, undoubtedly sarcastic, completely unscientific quizzes that pro

7 Signs That You Might Be Gay
While &#;How gay am I quiz&#; or anything similar can&#;t and will not explain you, there are some signs that might suggest you’re gay. Here are a few to consider:
1. Attraction to the Same Sex
A clear sign is feeling romantically or physically attracted to people of the same sex. This could manifest as a cr
Quiz: Which Of These Guys Are Gay?

With homosexual marriage being as prominent (and contested) as it is on social/regular media I keep asking myself how it is that some people could contain a problem with something so harmless.
Of all issues to have, to opt a non-issue makes no sense to me.
Another nice question to ask though with regards to this comic is what if none of these men are straight, or same-sex attracted. What if they were all bisexual? Pansexual? Or even asexual?
It’s important not to make assumptions. Sure, there can be cultural or physical indicators here and there but at the end of the day, it really doesn’t matter.
There’s this idea that you can “spot” a queer person just by looking at them, and while it’s true that some queer folk disseminate their lifestyle (just appreciate how some wear football jerseys 24/7), many don’t.
My point is this, we have to stop immediately assuming that men (or people in general, really) are straight by default. What good does it do
