Today is gay day in the lounge: please let us know on a scale of 1-10 how gay are you?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

10 being gayest possible

[Parche]

1. You Guess

>............................

:woohoo: :woohoo:

:hi:


:hide:

:hi:

[Iggo]

2. Zero...

...but I'll fight in the streets for all o' youse...1 thru 10.

:hi:

Eye em gud spelr.

[KamaAina]

32. Note that she did not provide a zero option

I suspect that her subversive intent is to out the entire Lounge! :tinfoilhat:

[Iggo]

89. If I say "1"...

...do I get a toaster?

[terrya]

3. 178

Let's put it this way: there's not going to be a mrs. terrya. Which is just as well, since IntravenousDemilo might have a problem with that.

[HERVEPA]

4. 1 (but not narrow)

[DarkTirade]

5. Hmmm. I like girls. So that points me towards the lower end of the scale.

But I also like boys. So where does that leave me? :P

[xchrom]

6. there are gay peoplw here?!? -- well why the fuck didnt some body tell me?!?!

i'm always the last to know.

there goes the fuckin neighborhood.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

7. love ya!

[xchrom]

11. love ya more!

:hi:

[Chan790]

8. Why couldn't you stick to the Kinsey scale?

(This post is in stream-of-thought without deletions to capture the complexity of a seemingly-simple question.)

I mean I'm somewhere between 2 and 3 on the 5-point Kinsey scale, so we'll say 2.5 out of 5. Yet if we double 2.5 we get 5 (out of 10), which theoretically should actually correlate to a 3 on the Kinsey scale.

Fuck it, executive decision, I'm a 4. Unless you ask me tomorrow in which case I may say I'm a 3.

Follow-up question...are we going by experience or "preference"? (I hate using that word in this context because it implies choice into something biological where choice isn't an actual factor.)

Final conclusions:

Experientially - 5
Preferentially - 3

[ZombieNixon]

9. (e^(pi*i))+1

Do the math. :P (I'll give you a hint: I like girls.)

[PVnRT]

12. Euler is teh awesome

[IndianaJones]

10. enough with the agenda already. nt.

[Zuiderelle]

14. That's a joke, right? I don't get it.

[IndianaJones]

16. joke? nt.

[Zuiderelle]

17. Ok, thanks for the confirmation.

[Pierre.Suave]

63. Jeez you are easily offended...

maybe you need to go some where else...

[La Lioness Priyanka]

70. or maybe you should stop being a thread stalker.

[Pierre.Suave]

86. HAHAHHA

lame...

[La Lioness Priyanka]

93. yes, i know you are.

[Pierre.Suave]

100. Wow

haven't heard that one since 6th grade...

[Zuiderelle]

75. Someone uses the term "agenda" and I question it, how is that being offended?

I think you need to not stalk me, or whatever you're doing. I'm gay, ok, I'm not interested in you. :eyes:

[Pierre.Suave]

87. thats funny...

:eyes:

[newmajority]

40. Rev. Phelps?? Is that you?

God Loves You :hi:


(But everyone else thinks you're an asshole :evilgrin: )

[Ellen Forradalom]

13. somewhere between two and four

not totally straight, not very gay, something ambiguous in the middle.

[BarenakedLady]

15. Somewhere between 1-10

:shrug:

[SarahB]

18. Interesting.

Probably a 3-4 if you are going from 1-10. If you look at Kinsey, I'm a solid 2, different life circumstances, I could see 3. :hi:

[Fox Mulder]

19. 1-2.

[Gormy Cuss]

20. I dunno. All I know is that I'm not as gay as

My Friend's Boyfriend.
;-)

[KitchenWitch]

21. *snicker*

[KitchenWitch]

22. I am a solid 3.5

[lightningandsnow]

23. 8 or 9.

I'm mostly gay, but there are a few guys who I think are kinda cute.

[Cabcere]

24. Probably around 1-2

:shrug: I'm definitely into guys, but there are some women I find quite attractive as well. :hi:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

25. Solidly ambivalent.

(AKA I don't have a clue.)

I'm silly for specific people both women and men, in different ways and for different reasons. Most of 'em start with the brain, then spread outward to sex and appearance. Physical sex has thus far not been much of a factor in determining whom I love.

[Deep13]

26. Sorry, not a show tune to be heard.

Not feeling gay. Not feeling straight. Just feel like I'm here at the office with all the fake politeness. Bo-o-o-o-o-oring!

At least it is fake for me. I have a hard time fitting into the mousey, mid-western mold.

[RainDog]

27. can I be a closeted straight person?

sneak off down to chippendales late in the evening....

[AngryAmish]

28. about a 2

Just not really into dudes.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

29. I think I'm around a five or six.

I'm a little bi curious.
Duckie

[SKKY]

30. Although I enjoy shopping, get my eyebrows waxed, and could pick out a Robert Graham shirt...

...from 100 yards away, I'm afraid I'm not very gay. I'm way too into the female physique. Probably a 1 or 2.

[SPKrazy]

31. 2 or a 3

:shrug:

[MonkeyFunk]

33. 9.5

I'd be a solid 10, except I want to suck Madonna's dick.

[puerco-bellies]

60. .

:spray: :rofl:

[KamaAina]

34. About a 3

it's mostly an academic exercise at this point, anyway. :shrug:

[QueenOfCalifornia]

35. excuse me but... are you

preoccupied with your sexuality?

How straight are you?

This is the kind of thing that makes me wish I had not donated money to the DU.

[TommyO]

45. What's wrong with a simple little poll like this here in the Lounge?

[Orrex]

48. Heh heh. You said "pole."

Oh, wait--no you didn't.

Still...

[Orrex]

46. Heh. Ask her about her stripper name sometime

She's as straight as I am a coelenterate.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

55. yawn

:boring:

[MonkeyFunk]

56. huh?

you're funny.

Not intentionally, but funny.

[Ellen Forradalom]

59. Who ISN'T preoccupied with their sexuality?

The problem is when everyone else is preoccupied with one's sexuality. Ask any gay person, they deal with this every day.

[Jamastiene]

80. Geez, some people are so touchy.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

84. i love how they were several gay threads but clearly only one person obsessed wiht her sexuality

people are fucking idiotic

[ThomCat]

126. Wow. Just a bit homophobic?

x(

[Tuesday Afternoon]

36. I am as gay as Craig Ferguson wants me to be!!

:bounce:

[Greyskye]

37. Lesbian trapped in a man's body

And I never got my toaster. :(

[petronius]

38. I'm a 3.14159... (I like pie)

;)

[newmajority]

39. Don't know if I could really pinpoint a number on a 10 point scale, let alone the Kinsey 6 thing.

In practice, I'm tragically "asexual" in recent memory. Basically hetero in the past. Only really ever attracted to one guy, but nothing ever happened there. If there is a "gay gene", I would say I carry it, based on relatives on both sides of the family tree. Might be a "recessive" gene in my case though. On a 1-10 scale, put me down as a 1. Maybe a 1.5.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

41. Zero, as you can tell by my fashion sense.

:P

[NewJeffCT]

42. I'm not too gay

if you know what I mean

[WinkyDink]

43. I'm ready for my close-up, Mr. DeMille.

[TommyO]

44. 11! I don't do anything half-assed.

[suninvited]

47. I don't know my rating

can you give me one?

I have never been with a woman. I like women, but they scare me sometimes.

I have only lusted after one woman, my A&P teacher when I was in massage school. Man, she was HOT. However, when I confessed to a gay male friend of mine that I had a crush on her, he admitted that he, too found her hot. She might have been one of those people that everyone lusted after, regardless of their orientation, we both decided. (I really have to learn how to construct my sentences better).

I love Indigo Girls, I have seen them in concert three times, and listen to their music to this day every single day. Okay, Emily Saliers, I have lusted after, too, besides my A&P teacher. (Secretly)

In my adult life, about 75% of my friends have been gay, both male and female evenly.

Could I be gay, but afraid to admit it?

Rate me.

[skygazer]

49. I think I'm as gay as I am straight

I'm sort of an equal-opportunity sort of gal. :)

[La Lioness Priyanka]

71. if only i were single

[stuntcat]

50. I'm 6

6.
Or 5 and a third.
Maybe I'm really zero :blush:

[XemaSab]

51. How about I post some facts and let you decide?

I wear hiking boots, jeans, a t-shirt, and a baseball cap every day.... and I still rock my flannel shirts PROUDLY. Unfortunately, the puppy chewed up my docs and I haven't replaced them yet. :(

I thought Mulholland Drive was the sexiest movie ever, and I would totally do whatever Laura Harring wanted me to do.

I collect animal skulls, and I clean them myself.

I have the dirtiest car in Southern California.

I'd rather drink beer than white wine, and shots are fine by me.

The perfect vacation for me is a camping trip.

I need more dogs. BIG dogs. I think 5 BIG dogs might be enough. Like, I saw the COOLEST coyote mix the other day that I totally want, but his "brother" was a German Shepherd and he was pretty cool too.

My Hogwarts uniform has a place of honor in my closet.

I have a degree in soil science.

I don't eat teh critters.

I want to lose some weight so I can fit in my army pants again. :woohoo:

I still have a Dean sticker on my (dirty) car.

The most expensive thing I've ever bought with my own money is my Leica spotting scope. Runners up are the iMac and the Swarovski binoculars.

People who meet me often assume I'm gay.

I totally want a Subaru outback.

I would wear men's clothes, but they don't fit me well. :(

I could spend ALL my money at REI.... that place is a hazard to my wallet. The other hazard to my wallet is California native plants, and everyone KNOWS what kind of people are into native plants.

When I wear dresses or makeup I feel like I'm in drag.

I rarely shave my legs or pits. Only when I'm like, gonna wear a dress, which is like, twice a year.

Many of my friends are gay.

I'm not into most "chick flicks." I find them shallow and stereotyped.

I've got a stocky build.

I don't care about getting wet, muddy, or dirty, and I tend to avoid wearing clothes that will get wrecked if I have to unexpectedly get wet, muddy, or dirty.

I'd like to have short hair for the convenience, but I realize it's just not flattering on me. So I keep my long hair tucked up in my baseball cap instead.

If I cut my hair short, everyone who doesn't NOW assume I'm a lesbian WOULD assume I'm a lesbian.

My roommate had a copy of Maxim magazine that suggested that men looking to score with women NOT have posters of rocks, ice, or volcanoes in their bedrooms, and I looked around my room and realized that EVERY poster I had on the walls had one or more of those features. :D

I was reading Maxim magazine in the first place. :P

I was a total tomboy growing up (except for sports... not much interest in sports, except for my short tenure on the Soils Department softball team. Yes, softball.)

I'd love to live out on a ranch and grow more of my own food.

I am more buff than a lot of guys I know.

I own and USE a National Parks pass.

People think I'm sorta uppity.

Most of my books are about natural history, especially birds.

Most of the men I meet are generally not as hardcore as I am. :P

So when can I expect my toaster? :shrug: :P

[Sock Puppet]

77. You sound like a really cool person, but not sure much of that has anything to do with

sexual preference. (But I know you know that.)

[XemaSab]

116. Of course I know that

I was just hoping for a toaster. :(

[ThomCat]

125. I always knew you were a really cool person.

That's an awesome list of many of the things about you that are really cool.

:hug:

[Oeditpus Rex]

52. Maybe like a 2 or 2.5

I love to hug my guy friends — those who are open to it, that is — and there're a handful of guys I'd kiss, including one or two DUers.

On the cheek or forehead, though. :)









Well, wait... okay, but no tongues.

[Neshanic]

53. Gayer than Guy Gayerson's Parrot Parade Salute to Carmen Miranda.

[Rhythm]

54. Somewhere between 7 and 8...

I can still appreciate the masculine form, but i am much more strongly attracted to women.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

57. i'd give myself a *10* since I'm happy all the time.

[unsavedtrash]

58. mine goes to 11.

[bilgewaterbill]

61. I'm a quarter gay but that doesn't seem like the right number. Is that metric?

[puerco-bellies]

62. I'm a one but I might be a 2

I think that K.D. Lang is smoking hot.. That's got to add a little gayness to my score.

[Reverend_Smitty]

64. I'd say a 1 to 1.5

I'm pretty much exclusively hetero but I do have a bit of a "lady crush" on Tina Fey. Although I think I want to *be* her rather than to *do* her.

I don't think I've ever looked at a woman and thought..."hmmmmm..."

[Pierre.Suave]

65. I would say I am a zero...

but you can be whatever you want.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

73. thanks for your permission.

[MonkeyFunk]

82. That's a huge relief to me

[Zuiderelle]

85. Nah.

Not worth it. Too easy.

[Pierre.Suave]

88. go ahead

give it a shot.

But don't get offended when I fire back.

[Zuiderelle]

90. As I said. Not worth it.

Though it's entertaining that you care about me so much to have obviously read a recent interchange I had about offensive language, and have now decided to stalk me with comments about it.

[Pierre.Suave]

99. WTF are you talking about?

I have no idea...

[Zuiderelle]

101. I made an assumption based on this post of yours that came from left field:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=7673519&mesg_id=7674823

It makes no sense that you would say I was offended by something when I didn't express any offense. But I guess you just pulled that out of thin air. Never mind then.

You might try ignoring me now, it would be better for both of us.

[terrya]

107. Gay men everywhere thank you.

And gosh, we're SO glad that you gave us permission to live our lives honestly and openly. That's a huge relief for us.

[MonkeyFunk]

108. It's always the guys who claim they're a zero

on the other side of the glory hole.

[terrya]

110. Well, then that's good that I no longer frequent glory holes.

I've seen pictures, MonkeyFunk. Ugh.

I do feel sorry for the guys on the other side, though. :-(

[MonkeyFunk]

111. LOL

I saw your title "Well, then that's good that I no longer frequent glory holes" and clicked one-off in the index and got California Peggy's post.

Nearly fell off the couch, I tells ya.

[terrya]

112. Ha ha!

I can imagine. :-)

[Pierre.Suave]

113. I gave you permission?

am I so powerful and influential in the gay community here on DU that I can give you permission? Do I have that much power over you?

Wow...
























:eyes:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

115. Here's a hint: People generally don't need to be told that they can do whatever they want to.

Most people know this for themselves; it comes across just a tiny bit patronizing to have someone tell them, not to mention defensive on behalf of the person doing the telling ("I'm STRAIGHT, I SWEAR!").

Something tells me you might already know this, though. Just a heads up in case you hadn't realized.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

66. My dear pri...

I really really really like men...

But...

If there were no men, then, well...


Put me down as a 1-2...


Did I mention I really like men?

:P

[Connonym]

67. I'd guestimate 4

but I'm not really sure what all criteria I need to take into consideration.

[BlueIris]

68. Are there negative numbers? If not, then maybe 1. Perhaps 1 and 1/2.

I know! So boring.

[Critters2]

69. 5. Very confused for a long time, until I realized one could be a 5.

And thus I am.

[Mad_Dem_X]

72. Well...

I suppose I'd be a 1 or 2, personally. But I love watching hot gay boys making out. Does that raise my number? :P

[meegbear]

74. I thought it was Earth Day ...

oh well.

10

[Sock Puppet]

78. ...

[soleft]

76. 11

[Jamastiene]

79. 9

There are about 3 men I could go for. One is dead, so that's not happening now. One is Johnny Depp, like most lesbians, I'd still probably consider strongly doing him. The other, I won't name, unless I am prodded. :evilgrin:

Then there are about 9,999 women I currently am drooling over. I'm dehydrating. I have to drink lots more Dr Pepper right now lest I poor away. :evilgrin:

[ronnykmarshall]

81. 10 + I screen calls!

[BreweryYardRat]

83. 3 or 4.

Bisexual with a strong preference for women.

[chemenger]

91. Personally, I am a zero but I support you all a 10. More power to you.

eom

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

92. like a 3

.

[tjwmason]

94. 9 and a bit

No inclination towards getting up to anything with women, but I can appreciate the female form...and never say never.

[hyphenate]

95. About a 2

I guess. Had one encounter in high school with one girl, but I really am quite heterosexual. Every now and then I have a stray thought, but I'm not that curious to do anything other than imagine situations. As a writer, curiosity fills me about a lot of things.

I have men in my thoughts, not women. :)

[regularguy]

96. 1. When there's a bed in my head

it's got a lady on it. ;)

[Brigid]

97. I don't know.

I have a girl crush on Lena Olin. Does that count?

[Brigid]

98. I don't know.

I have a girl crush on Lena Olin. Does that count?

[EstimatedProphet]

102. Not a whole lot

2 maybe. Can I stay in the lounge?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

106. why are we kicking the non gays out?

[EstimatedProphet]

119. I figured you were, since it's Gay Day in the Lounge

I thought maybe I was prohibited or something

:)

[unpossibles]

103. hard to say, but I'd have to give myself a 5 or 6 I think

7 on a good day.

[yellowcanine]

104. I could swear yesterday was gay day in the lounge.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

105. post is from yesterday

[Q3JR4]

109. I'm a 9.4247779607693797

Mmmm... I like pi.... times three. :)

Q3JR4.
1f u c4n r34d th1s u r34lly n33d t0 g37 l41d

[noonwitch]

114. 2. I'm attracted to men, but I find Annie Lenox attractive, too

I find her attractive because of her voice, though.

[Maddy McCall]

117. I'm gay today! I'm a ten!

Can I be an honorary gay today?

[MonkeyFunk]

121. You're just gay for Hillary

[Maddy McCall]

122. I'm easy.

:P

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

118. I need assistance with that.

I own suede shoes and I know how to convert Italian suit sizes into US sizes. Where does that put me?

[Westegg]

120. As a straight man, gay enough, I suppose...

...Consider: I love opera, cooking, interior design, and it's always better after I've filled the house with fresh flowers. Why, I love poetry-- writing it and reading it. Big fan of Bette Davis and Joan Crawford movies (not just "...Baby Jane," either), and Judy's Carnegie Hall concert is just swell, in my book. I've been told that I dress with more style than any other straight man. Also? I prefer the company of women.

Finally, my miniature poddle is dyed pink and I call her "Precious." I'm kidding. I don't have a miniature poddle. I have two cats.

[TrogL]

123. I'm bi

How do score that?

100% straight and 100% gay?

[fudge stripe cookays]

124. Boringly straight.

Love dark, hot, slightly dangerous dudes. But anyone reading that who has met reprehensor will laugh, since he's as dangerous as a cocker spaniel. He is dark, though.

I did go through a serious period of man-hating about 1994, where I considered the alternate lifestyle, but never did more than thinking. There have been quite a few women that I see out and think are beautiful, but that's it.

2.5, I guess.

[otherlander]

127. b
