What kind of gay are you? - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

MeskElil · 8th Jun 2008, 03:06 PM

I'm sure there has been a poll like this before...I'm sorry if I'm duplicating.

For all those gay/lesbian people out there, what kind of gay are you?

Feel free to comment and elaborate!

Im mostly manly but.. a titch feminime

8th Jun 2008, 03:14 PM

I'm me

I don't really fit into either butch or femme.. more on the butch side as I don't like many girly things.. but I wouldn't really descibe myself as butch.

Same for me. Though Trying to minimize the femine part as much as possible in public

Crazyfoo · 8th Jun 2008, 03:18 PM

I wouldn't consider myself the manliest man, but I don't think I'm feminine at all. Maybe like 5%?

IDK my bff Jill.

Nice poll, but i dont think you can put people into 5 different categories that easy. We are all different.

sdc91 · 8th Jun 2008, 03:25 PM

Hm, well I'm not the type of guy who's about to run off to Home Depot and do home repairs all weekend then drown myself in beer while watching the game, but I'll wash the car and mow the grass. I just helped my dad fix the sprinklers.

I'm not ever going to cross-dress/flick wrist/lisp/other stereotypical stuff the media emphasizes.

I'd say I'm in the middle, but way closer to masculine than feminine.

Agreed. That sums me up nicely.

Some thinks about me are manly, some things about me are feminine.

theaterfreak · 8th Jun 2008, 04:07 PM

Tokarov · 8th Jun 2008, 04:11 PM

I'm not too fem. I do have my moments, I will admit :P

Lefty · 8th Jun 2008, 04:34 PM

I like to think of myself as somewhat in the middle, but I do tend to lean towards the butch/tomboy side.

jazzrawr · 8th Jun 2008, 04:40 PM

Im in the middle. I'm femme, but im butch at the same time. Cause im just cool like that.

Yeah, I know. That's why I put a fifth category of "other". I expected most people to post as "other", but I wanted to see how many people were end-of-the-spectrum types.
I'm sorry if I offended. I didn't mean to categorize people that much.

musicgirl112233 · 8th Jun 2008, 05:24 PM

Im also in the middle. But im more femme than butch.

Andy21 · 8th Jun 2008, 05:33 PM

I've clicked both. Although I consider myself to be very straight-acting, I know I have my moments.

Hoppip · 8th Jun 2008, 06:50 PM

I'm flamboyant and I hate myself for it. I never wanted to be so feminine. I just try to avoid looking at video recordings of myself, ignorance is bliss. I'm masculine on the INSIDE. :P

**Maddy** · 8th Jun 2008, 07:16 PM

I'm on the more feminine side of the middle.

Nodnarb · 8th Jun 2008, 08:09 PM

I voted "other", but I think I lean more to the masculine side.
