Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, You May Be Very Liberal But Are You Gay Or Lesbian Enough? And, if you're a sufficiently gay man (congratulations and all that) what kind exactly are you? And are you convincing enough? Not because it's Friday or anything, but you might as well know before you go out tonight, no?
hmmm...I'm 16% gay on gay-o-meter, level 3 - mostly straight acting on straightacting.com. No wonder women hit on me. (I actually like the little butch icon for level 3 at straightacting.com.)

I'm 85% Fighter/Magic-User, but I can cast cleric spells once I level up.
I just want to be loved! Is that so wrong?

Congratulations! You've scored right in the middle and are a happy and well adjusted hetero babe!
I knew that. ;)

Not work safe, Ufez? A nice ballet photograph with no naughty bits showing? From Channel 4, no less?
Boy oh boy, isn't the "work safe" definition becoming more and more puritanical! My own definition is that if it can be on the cover of Time Magazine and not raise an eyebrow, then it's work safe. This definitely passes that test.
What are you trying to do, anyway? Force people to work or something? Or did the gay meter go too wild for your taste? ;)

Miguel's workplace is a Portuguese brothel, so his definition of NSFW is not to be trusted.

That's why I said May not be safe for work, Migs. If you work in a church, or a government building or something like that.

Hmm. How can I be 73% gay but Level 3 straightacting?
Btw, straightacting.com is the bane of the gay cruising circuit (errr... I've heard, I mean). People actual post their straight-acting number in internet profiles and such. Ludicrous. If they were so damn butch, would they be taking fruity tests on the internet?

posted by BentPenguin at 10:04 AM on August 30, 2002
No, that would make sense, BentPenguin. As far as I can tell 33% or less is not gay enough; 50% means a perfectly balanced heterosexual; 66% must mean bisexual and anything over is unequivocally gay. That's pretty clear, is it not?
Hmmm...come to think of it, ket the go figure stand. ;)

I'm level 3. I don't get it. I am straight... except that one time...
Ah, I know, it's the hair. Definately the hair. I have long hair and I take very good care of it. I don't dress well, I'm low maintenance, but I have long hair. And I like to gossip. Anyway, these are great fun. Most of my gay friends don't use the net, but I'm going to show this to them, they'll get a kick out of it.

i think i scored 57% gay but i'm not sure 'cause i was working on my hair and my elbow slipped and hit the keyboard and went back a couple of steps in my history and now i can't find it but i don't care anyway because my hair looks really, really cute which is good because i think su said he wanted to go to ping pong for dinner on broadway which is totally cruisy so i need to be bulletproof. now i need to find my leather pants.

They didn't have any questions about transvestite user names. I wonder if that would affect the final score...?

ColdChef is 60% gay. and I'm a limpwristed 8 on the feminine scale.
Bah. I was hoping I might be gayer so I could call off my wedding. Oh, well. Maybe I could just save all of my gayness up for a weekend trip each year to see Evanizer, my favorite bear.

It guessed 30% for me, which is off by 70%. Gee, you'd think it would be a little more accurate, since the second question it asks is "Do you have sex with Men, Women, or Both?"
