LGBT poll

Results | Messages
OK, so I'm getting tired of reading polls that are uninclusive of people who are gay, bi, queer, trans, lesbian, whatever, so I made up my own.
I'm nosey--identify yourself, if you please
male
female
a little bit of both
a little bit of neither
I don't subscribe to society's opressive dual gender system
I'm really nosey--how old are you? I'm never good at making up age categories, so they're kind of arbitrary.
15 or younger
16-20
21-25
26-32
33-40
41-50
51-60
61-70
71-80
81 or older
How do you self-identify? Pick as many as apply.
lesbian
bisexual
transgender
straight
gay
queer
transsexual
asexual
other
OK, so everybody asks this, but I'm curious. How old were you when you were sure of your sexual orientation and/or gender identity?

6-10
11-13
14-16
17-20
21-25
26-30
31-40
41-50

How old were you when you started telling people about your gender identity and/or sexual orientation?
haven't yet
14 or younger
15-18
19-25
26-30
31-35
36-40
41-45

Are you out right now?
completely
not at all
to one person
to a select few
I'm working on coming out to everyone right now
Do you like "Will and Grace"?
yes
no
ehh
If yes, why?
It's so realistic
Jack and Karen rock
It's really funny
It's daring
other
If no, why not?
It's too tame
It's too racy
Jack and Karen are annoying
You'd never even know Will was gay if he didn't keep bringing it up
Do you like "Queer As Folk"?
yes
no
ehh
If yes, why?
It's funny
It's daring
I identify with the characters
All the hot guys
I love that we finally get to see this stuff on TV
If no, why not?
It's too racy
Too much of a soap opera
unbelievable storylines
unbelievable characters
It makes gay men look bad
not inclusive of the whole LGBT community
other
Are you in a relationship right now?
Yes, for a few months
Yes, over a year now
Yes, over five years now
No, and that's the way I like it
No, and I'm really depressed about it
What, now? No, but give me a few minutes...
Do you ever see yourself wanting to get married?
I am married
Yes, definitely one day
Maybe
No, I don't need anyone to approve of my relationship to make it valid
No, I don't want a commited relationship like that
If you're gay, lesbian, or bisexual, have people ever told you that it's just because you want to be a different gender than your own? i.e. if you're a lesbian it's just because you want to be a man
Yes
No
I am lesbian, gay, or bisexual and trans*, thank you very much
If you are trans*, do people believe you when you tell them you're straight? i.e. a male-to-female trans* woman who prefers men being refered to as gay
Yes
No
I am trans* and lesbian, bi, or gay, thank you very much
Are bisexuals just gays and lesbians in denial?
yes
no
Are bisexuals really just kinky straight people?
yes
no
Is being "straight acting" or "passing" important to you?
Yes, because I'm still in the closet and am afraid for people to know
Yes, because I want straight people to know that we are just like they are
No, I don't care either way
No, I hate it when people assume I'm straight or don't notice that I'm trans*
Do you feel like part of a community?
Yes, the LGBT community has embraced me
Yes, but it's one other than the LGBT community
I have several communities that I feel part of
No, not at all
The LGBT community? As in just one? What have you been smoking?
Do you feel that transgendered people, bisexuals, people into BDSM or leather, and/or "obvious" gays and lesbians are a threat to gay rights?
Yes, I wish they'd just tone it down a little bit
Yes, but only because mainstream society isn't ready for them yet
No
If there are questions you wanted to see on this poll but didn't, I'd love it if you'd post a message on the message board! How do you think I did in general?
Good
Bad
I'll post a message and let you know
