    Re: gay by birth vs. gay by choice... who cares! —Scott Arthur
   What does it really matter? If people are happy that is a good thing. There was recently a "gay census" in the UK. It has been criticised for focusing on people who are "out", but it is still the most detailed revue of gay life in the UK. The main (...) (23 years ago, 3-Dec-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

     (...) Why would you advise this? It's obviously a silly thing. I mean, it's cute and aparently I'm 35% gay, but I don't think it has any bearing on anything. I don't get your need to consult...what's the deal with that? Chris (23 years ago, 3-Dec-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

     (...) meter told me to "Loosen up mate, Women like softer edges" or some such. Which is ironic, since most women consider me rather sensitive. I dunno. ~Grand Admiral Muffin Head (23 years ago, 3-Dec-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

     (...) 19%. Dunno exactly what it means, except that I'm who I am. It's frightening considering that I've always felt more "in touch" with the proverbial feminine side than most of my peers. Weeeeird. Maybe it's random? LFB (23 years ago, 4-Dec-01, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

         Re: gay by birth vs. gay by choice... who cares! —Scott Arthur
     (...) Perhaps by US standards! I did the test the same way as you and got 35-41% (...) Like I said Dave, it is just a bit of fun. I think it would be even poorer if the questions were more pertinent. This way it is just a bit of fun. :) Scott A (23 years ago, 4-Dec-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
   
        Re: gay by birth vs. gay by choice... who cares! —Ed Jones
   (...) First of all, IMO, Channel 4 holds no credibility anyway, so a test by them is more luducrious. Having taken the test, I found it very interesting, and self defeating, that you must chose your sexual orientation prior to taking the test. I (...)
