Shuggy:
I have an impression that Brokies tend to be heterosexual women or gay men, and I would like to test it. All self-selecting polls are statistically valueless, so the results of this can only be expressed as "Of those who answered, x said they were..." So far as I know, there is no way to extract individual votes, so confidentiality is automatic.

Later: Notice that the ratio needs to be compared with the sex ratio of all users, which can be derived from the "About our users" poll. Taking into account the very low turnout, the ratios are about the same. That is, there are more men than women here, and the men are almost all gay, the women almost all strait. Given the topic is a love story about two men, this is hardly surprising.

Here I am.  Nice to meet you, Isabelle.  I'm Barb.  I'm in that largest female group with you.  And Shuggy, looks like you were definitely right.   ;D

OOps... Just had a look at the results again, and it seems I wasn't looking right! I am not in the biggest group AT ALL (since that is gay men). I am in fact in the bi female list. Sorry I must have confused you.

So Shuggy is still right, and I am only half 'not surprising'!
I'll reiterate my call:
Hello, sisters, where are you, who are you?? There're 3 of us so far, where are the other 2? You, Mandy?

dmmb_Mandy:
I reckon you should add to the list: straight female but slightly bent  ;D

Impish:
I wish there was an option for "not sure/questioning/curious"

I know of at least one bettermost member who probably would have chosen that...  and BBM is likely responsible for scores of people suddenly questioning themselves.
