Your gender identity and sexual orientation?

[Tzarkhangelskia]

All genders and sexes, yup. It's different than bisexual since that's just attraction to two.

Oh, for a second there i thought that it would also mean you were attracted to animals and objects as well.

Oh rocky, if only you had a hole for me to play with.

If there is not a hole, make one. Here is your drill.

Real men don't need drills, if you know what i mean.

No, no. Attraction to animals to either zoophilia or bestiality. No idea what attraction to objects is called.

Wouldn't that be Rocopurr on gender identity? Because that is exactly how I feel.

"Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn" - Rocopurr on gender identity.

Is that better? :lol:

I'll sig one of these, maybe.

I have no idea what you mean, but I have a very strange mental image of what you could mean.

If it's perverted and disturbing then you're probably right.

[Wintersdown]

Gender Identity: Female
Sexual Orientation: Lesbian
And just to clear it all up I am indeed a girl. Got all those girly bits that my gf likes.

[Othelos]

It seems heterosexual males dominate this site.

what a surprise. Actually, white, heterosexual males primarily from english speaking nations, with a tendency to be irreligious.

These polls that I've been doing are coming in handy.

[Phocidaea]

>almost as many "other" as "female"
Only on the internet.

[Kumuri]

holy crocodile farts only 24 female and 280 male?!

[Othelos]

holy crocodile farts only 24 female and 280 male?!

At several points, more others voted in the poll than females.

I voted female and pansexual.
Yeah....

So, in the spirit of all the polls I've been doing recently, what's your gender identity and sexual orientation? Also, for more discussion, what is your opinion on social issues that deal with gender identity and sexual orientation?

Imo, lgbt people should be afforded the same rights as everyone else. As a gay person, I know firsthand that discrimination isn't fun (and neither is heteronormativity - so just a tip, don't assume someone is straight because they don't look or act stereotypically gay).

Gay & Male. And I'm not in any way stereotypically "gay" or "camp" or whatever OOC, so I understand exactly what you're saying about the heteronormativity shit.

In all honesty, there really shouldn't be any differences in the treatment of gay or otherwise not heterosexual people, by the state or indeed by society in general. We're all human beings and frankly life is too short for bigotry and intolerance.

In terms of recent events, I was delighted to see same-sex marriage adopted by England & Wales this year, which means people like me are on equal footing with everyone else with regard to marriage - and it's coming soon in Scotland too. One of the biggest hurdles remaining is the one year deferral on all gay men giving blood - i.e. they have to be celibate for a year before being able to donate, even if they practice safer-sex, yet heterosexual people who have risky sex and don't take precautions are not similarly deferred, which is a huge injustice.

I'm also happy to hear that some of the bans on same-sex marriage in the US are gradually being overturned - even if it means a court has to do it. However events in Russia and some Eastern European countries are worrying.

So the picture is mixed, but I'm certain that one day we'll get to a place where people can all be treated equally, regardless of their gender, orientation, ethnicity etc. But that's just me being optimistic

[Discordant Chaos]

They identify as female, and are romantically attracted to the opposite sex, but not sexually.

I'm I correct?

Then you would just be heteroromantic, not grey-heteroromantic.

Assuming anyone still cares 3 pages later, grey is between normal and aromantic. I only develop emotional attractions very rarely, and no physical attractions at all. Heck, I didn't have my first serious crush until I was 21.

Glad I was able to confuse the heck out of everyone.

[The Fascist American Empire]

Male, heterosexual. My best (and almost only) friend IRL? Female, bisexual but probably will be a lesbian when she's out of her parents' houses.

It's completely banned in the US :/

It looks that way, at least in developed nations/the west.

Then you would just be heteroromantic, not grey-heteroromantic.

Ah, I see. Yeah, that would be in the grey area, then.

And that totally pisses me off because they blame the gays for AIDS and it's not necessarily our fault whatsoever. We're the scapegoat. Because straight men and women who have frequent risky sex are just as likely to get AIDS as a gay man or woman and it's just complete BS that they do that.

Yeah, it's stupid. People shouldn't base policy on stigma, instead of facts.

Well it's understandable considering we're still beholden to a policy injustice that's based on outdated perceptions - not hard facts - which of course show that risky sexual behaviour among heterosexuals is just as likely to spread HIV as it is among homosexuals.

[Arukkan]

Sexual Orientation: (Mildly flaming at times) Homosexual

Gender: Genderqueer

Well I'm sad to hear that, but hopefully as people become more enlightened and less prejudiced in general, we'll see more positive change - on both sides of the pond - but especially in the US.
