Finger Length and Gayness - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

Apparently finger length is partially determined by hormone exposure in the womb, and could possibly be a helpful factor in determining sexuality in men. I'm not sure about the women. So for the purposes of this poll Bi and gay are the same thing.
S=Straight
B=bi
G=gay
M=Male

R=Ring finger is longer
I=Index finger is longer

Let's see if it holds true with us!

There were like a few threads about this not too long ago but oh well I guess.
Bi Guy Longer Index Finger

**Ben** · 27th Apr 2009, 11:43 AM

My right hand is gay and my left hand is straight. I have bisexual hands.

**Eleanor Rigby** · 27th Apr 2009, 11:45 AM

For my both hands, my index and my ring finger are both equal. Looking closer, my index is a tiny bit longer, but really a tiny bit.

riddlerno1 · 27th Apr 2009, 11:49 AM

Gay male, both index fingers longer than ring.

Just Adam · 27th Apr 2009, 11:56 AM

my index are like 1 mm longer lol

**Filip** · 27th Apr 2009, 12:15 PM

Gay male, index fingers are longer

Noah · 27th Apr 2009, 12:20 PM

n women, the index finger (2D, second digit) is almost the same length as the fourth digit (4D), although it may be slightly longer or shorter; in men, the index finger is more often shorter than the fourth.

From the University of Nebraska study.

Gay men are supposed to have similar results, although it's not certain

If your fingers are very close, go ahead and put equal.

Apocalypte · 27th Apr 2009, 12:46 PM

Wow ,I didn't know that there was a name for having a longer second toe! Thanks for the info! On my right foot ,my 2nd toe is way longer,the left is ,too,but not as much. It's a pain in the ass to get shoes/sneakers to fit both feet!

RainbowJay · 27th Apr 2009, 12:59 PM

On my left hand, my ring finger is wronger than my index
but on my right, both my ring finger and index are the same o_O

Mickey · 27th Apr 2009, 01:00 PM

BTW,both my ring fingers are longer.

Noah · 27th Apr 2009, 02:37 PM

If you've seen the movie with John Barrowman, I forgot the name but it's in the supportive movies thread, then you can see it's not just a rumor but actual scientific data. Whether it proves anything or not, I'm not sure.

BasketCase · 27th Apr 2009, 02:48 PM

My ring finger is longer by an appreciable distance.

Amy · 27th Apr 2009, 02:58 PM

According to The L Word, my right hand is bi and my left is a lesbian.
I think that's fitting.
