This quiz is a fantastic place to start. The results may not be how you later distinguish, but that is okay. How you label your sexual orientation and gender identity is ultimately up to you. (And if you don’t want to put a label on it, that’s okay, too!)
As you explore these questions and the results, hold some time to familiarize yourself with terms used to describe sexual orientation and gender identity. There is more than just “gay” and “straight.”
This also gives people more wiggle room to investigate themselves and take on the label that works for their life and their
