sexuality
Inspired by today's Gene Weingarten chat and by talking to a few friends of mine, here's a poll:
But first, to define some terminology: "Gal" is what I'm saying since neither "woman" nor "girl" is as age-nonspecific as "guy". Please ignore whatever patronizing connotation you may think "gal" has.
If "gay", "straight", and "bi" aren't specific enough for you, then consider "gay" to be kinsey 5-6, "bi" to be kinsey 2-4, and "straight" to be kinsey 0-1.
There are limits to the number of choices any poll can give (especially on LJ), but not limits to the number of different answers that are actually possible, especially with a charged question like this. Please, wherever possible, choose the closest answer even if it's not perfect. Feel free to elaborate in comments.
Now, then:
[Poll #1104392]
(As always, LJ lets you edit your poll results if you misclicked or something.)

Offline (and unfortunately), nobody in my social circles would openly identify as anything but hetero.
Online, people are a lot more open about who they are, and our social circles are a lot more willing to accept a person's sexuality as self-defined.
