sexuality

[desh]

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.)

my social circles are IMO abnormal in that they're both accepting of people's self-definition without trying to shoehorn them into something they feel they "really" are, and self-aware / mature (old :) enough to no longer either throw up smoke screens or sit on the fence about defining themselves because society expects them to be X.

in mainstream circles there's a lot more smoke and mirrors involved when it comes to bisexuality. if people are indeed out at all. many actual bisexuals pass as straight or gay, and from what i've seen, the gay community gives bis almost as much shit as the straight mainstream.
