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.)

hey, desh

it's interesting that as the person who fills out the poll, you can ID as somethng other than guy or gal, while at the same time the sexual orientation choices are all those that take into consideration two sexes. what i mean is,i have trouble filling it out. what about pansexual [attracted to folks of all genders] & asexual [not sexual with anyone]? yo?

love,

Look, I'm not trying to be rude. But I'm asking a question about what I'm asking about. It's a question about a milieu that the majority of people on my friends list are a part of and all of you are familiar with. I'm not trying to assert that this question encompasses all of human sexuality. And I even disclaimed my question to an extent beyond what I feel is the minimum required to be fully respectful of the queer community. I'm not going to apologize anymore. Feel free to either answer the poll or not.
