Here is a quick pole to ask if your Gay Straight or what ever.

Transgender isn't an orientation.

Alright, I have a relatively high tolerance for repeat threads, but at this point I'm beginning to get sick of seeing this topic come up so frequently (this isn't an attack against you, British Lad, just against this topic in general). Perhaps the mods could just make one and sticky it to the top of this section? Really, this is getting ridiculous.

I know but If I did not put it up somebody would moan it is not there any way.
Can a mod make this a sticky so that it does not get repeated again and again please.

Why?

Transgender is not an orientation and has nothing to do with orientation thus has no reason to be in a poll involving sexuality.

This is actually the first poll of this type that I have seen with transgender somehow included in the choices, so I don't think people would moan that it isn't there. Besides, the sexual orientation labels (gay, bisexual, straight) aren't mutually exclusive with the transgender label, so by including it in the poll, people are forced to choose which one they will pick to represent themselves.

Gay/Lesbian	67	79.76%
