Kinsey Scale's good although I don't feel like it really highlights sexuality well enough. It's far more fluid and diverse than the 0-6 on the Kinsey Scale.

I agree completely.
before I took the class, I never really looked at sexuality as anything other than black or white. You were either gay, straight, or bi. That was it.
But now I know better; there's a lot of grey area and things that go beyond the scale.

I wouldn't call myself asexual but I'm not dating anyone ever again until I know it's going to work out. I have been used and lied to way to many times and it's put a bad impression on love for me.
Then you will never date again. The thing is, you never know if it's going to work out, even a relationship you're sure is true love may end up not working out. You have to take these risks in life or you won't ever live.

This is true. I will probably grow out of it but it's just how I feel for now.

For me on that scale, I'm 6. I would date/do anything relationship-wise with a woman. That being said, if it comes up in conversation, I can understand why heterosexual men would find women attractive.
It seems as though all of you are referring to Kinsey's Heterosexual-Homosexual Rating Scale, although it is well thought out and has a lot of research to back it up, I find that the adapted version, The Klein Sexual Orientation Grid, developed by Fritz Klein, which expands on Kinsey's scale with 7 variables and 3 situations in time: past, present and ideal can create a more informative answer. However, something like your sexual orientation should not be based off of a quiz. Also, just like the rating scale this quiz has a lot of gray areas (pansexual, asexual).
I personally support gay rights and am a part of my school's Gay Straight Alliance. My godfather was gay and died of AIDS when I was six. I find the GSA not only a great group of people for questions pertaining to sexual orientation but also other questions you might just have about stuff. I love celebrating National Coming Out Day, Transgender Day of Remembrance and of course, Harvey Milk Day. They are some of most joyous days in the school.

I actually read about the Grid on Wikipedia shortly after I read about the Scale. Yeah, it was the same results for me

I'm gay and came out about a year ago. The first person I came out to was my best (lesbian) friend. We basically became friends because she asked my brother if I was gay. At that time, I already knew I was gay, but I was ashamed of it. After we became friends, she asked a several times, but I denied it, which is weird, because she's lesbian and she's clearly not against it. I even got into a relationship with a girl. I lost my virginity to her (which I don't really care about) but I also took her virginity. I was 18 when I came out and I think it sounds like a kind of old age to come out, even though there are even people in their 30's that haven't come out yet. I don't reget coming out so late. I even don't regret the relationship with the girl, because I really enjoyed it, even though I don't really feel sexually attracted to girls.
So yeah, that's my story. Anyways, one thing I really hate is being called gay all the time. A thing my boyfriend does. Sometimes he's like "my gay boyfriend" and I'm like "really?". Anyways, I'm probably just really a whiner, because I also don't like to hug and kiss all the time. When we're out clubbing, I don't care, but in public I really don't like to hug and kiss and stuff.

I want a shirt that says that in big bold letters.
Then I'll get jumped because I live in Idaho and they don't like that ****.

Wow. Right next to Washington. So weird how different the opinions are in two close areas.

Some of the comments in the article:
"i just ate a bowl of apple jacks...alert the media"
"the tell all generation......nobody is listening!"
"I think people are switching teams just so they can come out and make a big deal about."
"That's proof that man is born straight, and when he goes against the nature that he was born with, it is given a different reaction."
"He was a powder puff that wanted attention.... who cares what you do..... I bet two cheer leaders turned him later that night.."
The ignorance is astounding and incredibly offensive. Sigh...

It's better to laugh at people like these, rather than give any weight to what they say. Fact is, ignorance can't be beaten with wisdom. It can only be beat with time and perseverance.

Do you think that you are born gay? What's your opinion?
I don't see any other logical answer (and there are already plenty of studies which give strong evidence towards the matter). Besides, if it were a choice or indoctrinated to you while you were young that doesn't exactly explain alternate sexualities in the animal kingdom.
I was born pretty gay. I can't remember even liking a boy. Whenever I played house as a kid, I'd always request to be the child since I didn't want to be married to a man, and the dad was always a male stuffed animal. I can even recall my first crush, though I didn't know it was a crush at the time.

Yep.
My first crush, as far back as I can remember, was a boy. Even before I knew what being "gay" was.
It's a natural connection that can't be forced, or "chosen".
I've never once felt anything towards a female. Not by choice. But if it isn't there, it isn't there.
