The 100 Very Best Pokemon Pick Up Lines
A lot of people have undoubtedly thought of that question at some point in their lives, whether that was because of actual attraction or something society considered ‘gay’. There have been massive changes in our society and understanding of sexuality in the past decade alone, that it’s natural for people to begin question their sexuality. Not only teenagers can discover that they’re not as straight as they thought they might be. You could indeed be gay or straight, however, sexuality is not binary, and it is not always rigid either! You could be bisexual, asexual, or perhaps be attracted to all genders!
People who don’t belong in the LGBTQIA+ community might sometimes be grumpy about all of these new labels that keep sprouting up at all times, however, it is more important to be able to find something that describes how you feel about yourself than caring what other people think.
So why is it still so difficult to come out of the proverbial closet?
You might be having doubts about your feelings. It might be a phase. It might not. The sure thing is that no one should be ashamed of who they love and who they are! There is nothing wrong about loving people of the same gender as you, or vacillating between being attracted to two genders, or more!
The nature of sexuality has been debated by countless people, including health care providers, scientists, psychologists, and religious organizations. The question is always the same: is it a choice to be homosexual? (Or any other sexuality apart from straight). Discourse still hasn’t come to a unanimous answer and it’s doubtful that this will happen soon. The thing is that your sexual orientation should be nobody’s business but yours, and the reasons behind one’s sexuality is always far more complex than people imagine.
Some people find it easier to accept their sexual orientation than others. That usually happens when they come from a supportive environment, and a healthy understanding of what sexuality is. It is usually older people that grew up in a society of far more oppression than today’s youth, or people from strict backgrounds, that usually have problems accepting or even acknowledging their divergent sexuality.
Speaking to other people in the community and sharing experiences always helps, and this has thankfully become far easier lately thanks to the vast world of internet. Coming out is not easy, and most of the LGBTQIA+ community had to come out several times (to relatives, to new friends, to coworkers etc.) but you should first focus on yourself. Accepting your sexual orientation should be your first and foremost priority before you go ahead and announce it to your friends and family.
For some people, it really is a phase, while some never realize they belonged in the community until they are quite old. No matter the case, you should be proud to be you and find joy in something that works for you. If you want to come out immediately, that’s great. If you don’t that’s also okay! There shouldn’t be any pressure on coming out whatsoever.
This quiz will help you determine whether what you’ve been feeling is something occasional or you lean towards being homosexual. This isn’t a professional evaluation of your sexual orientation and shouldn’t be treated as such, however, it will help you determine whether you exhibit behavior that fits into homosexual tendencies whether you di it consciously or not. You might discover that you’re actually straight after all, or that your sexuality is less than binary!
If you feel lost and confused, hopefully this will help you clear some things up and also put you in contact with other like-minded individuals.!

Results:
Α. You’re Bi/Pan.
You are attracted to more than one gender, and that’s absolutely fine! Not only do you have better chances at finding a date but labels don’t really seem to matter to you! We know it still might be tough coming out but you should be proud of who you are and who you love! If you need help or support, make sure to check the resources in the introduction of the quiz!
B. You’re gay/lesbian
You’re all for the same gender as you are and that’s great! Hopefully coming out isn’t going to be too tough, but make sure you’ll never be alone! There are thousands of gay and lesbian people that were once where you are now. If you need help or support, make sure to check the resources in the introduction of the quiz!
C. You are straight
You probably already knew this but taking quizzes is fun, right? Your sexuality is probably the least controversial, as long as you’re being a good ally and don’t harass people of the LGBTQIA+ community! If you were hoping for a different result, feel free to experiment but make sure to let your partners know about your feelings beforehand!
D. You’re Asexual/Aromantic
You are not really interested in sex and that’s fine too. While a not very known sexuality, being asexual is absolutely valid and you shouldn’t feel strange about it. There are many famous people who were never interested in sex or romance, and there are also those who only get into it after they get to know someone! Those are called demisexual–if this sounds like you, you might relate to that term! Don’t worry about not being interested in sex! Having great friends and romantic partners (if you want) is always great too! Not everything has to be about sex! You do you, and focus on your own personal fulfillment!
