LGBT+ Members' Questionnaire Mk. II

Scroll to see replies

Bored and just came across this, so I've filled it out.

1. What's your name?
TheCrackInTime

2. Is there anything in particular you've come to the TSRLGBTS for?
Nope. I just happened upon it whilst browsing the forum.

3. How old are you?
19

4. What's your gender?
Male

5. What's your sexual orientation?
Bisexual

6. How long have you known your orientation?
I've known that I'm bisexual for around 2/3 years.

7. Do you feel like you fit any orientation-related stereotypes?
I don't think so, no.

8. Have you experienced any homo- or transphobia?
Not directed at myself, but I've heard people making homophobic comments before.

9. Are you out? For how long, or are you planning to? If you are, how did people react?
I haven't come out, but that's more because I've never really felt the need to, rather than any desire to keep my sexuality a secret. If my Mum/Sister/Friends/ect asked, then I'd tell them.

10. Do you know many LGBT people?
A friend of mine is gay and I suspect another may be bi, but that's it.

11. Have you been involved in any LGBT organisations or societies? What did you think of them?
Nope.

12. Have you been to any LGBT events? How were they?
I've been out in town while there was a pride event on, but it was more a "I was there and the event was happening" than a "I was there because the event was happening".

13. Do LGBT considerations influence you politically?
Nope. I'm quite liberal anyway (both socially and economically), but that's not influenced by anything other than my own sense of morality.

14. Are you in a relationship? If so, for how long?
Not at the moment. :emo:

15. What do you look for in a partner?
It's hard to put my finger on it, but someone who makes me smile. Not just because I find them funny, but because they're sweet, smart, caring and can cheer me up just by being there.

16a. Have you had any sexual experiences with the same gender?
:no:

16.b Good or bad?
N/A

17a. Have you had any sexual experiences with another gender?
Yes.

17b. Good or bad?
:sexface:

18. Do you go out on the 'scene' (LGB clubs and bars) much? Can you recommend anywhere?
Nope.

19. Name some fit famous people.
Karen Gillan, Russell Tovey, Rupert Penry-Jones

20. Show us your picture?

1. What's your name? Joe
2. Is there anything in particular you've come to the TSRLGBTS for? Not really, just to chat with fellow gay/bi people cos I only know one in real life.
3. How old are you? 16, 17 next Wednesday :smile:
4. What's your gender? Male.
5. What's your sexual orientation? Bisexual, possibly gay. Based on the fact I hate all girls at the moment.:tongue:
6. How long have you known your orientation? About five years, but only recently considered that I might be completely gay.
7. Do you feel like you fit any orientation-related stereotypes? Um, a bit. I can't play any sports, can't throw, and am probably a bit girly. I don't act camp, though.
8. Have you experienced any homo- or transphobia? No, since so nobody really knows I'm bi (I hope).
9. Are you out? For how long, or are you planning to? If you are, how did people react? I've only come out to three close friends and my family. Coming out to my friends was quite liberating and they were completely fine with it; one of them told me she was bi too. Coming out to my family was hideous, though; they were fine but it felt wrong, I wasn't ready. We've hardly mentioned it since.
10. Do you know many LGBT people? One of my best friends, a girl, is bi. So was a girl in my school last year, and my nan's male cousin is gay. That's about it.:biggrin:
11. Have you been involved in any LGBT organisations or societies? What did you think of them? No, but I'll join an LGBT group at uni.
12. Have you been to any LGBT events? How were they? No.
13. Do LGBT considerations influence you politically? I do relate more to issues concerning LGBT stuff, for example gay adoption. Partly because we have to; no straight people will ever get involved.
14. Are you in a relationship? If so, for how long? No.
15. What do you look for in a partner? Just somebody I'll get along with, really, ideally somebody clever or witty.
16. Have you had any sexual experiences with the same gender? Good or bad? No.
17. Have you had any sexual experiences with another gender? Good or bad?No.:tongue:
18. Do you go out on the 'scene' (LGB clubs and bars) much? Can you recommend anywhere? No, but I plan to once I turn 18.
19. Name some fit famous people. Daniel Craig, Keira Knightley, Liam and Niall from One Direction, can't think of any more really fit ones off the top of my head.
20. Show us your picture? Haha, show me yours.
Reply 62
1. What's your name? Rachel.
2. Is there anything in particular you've come to the TSRLGBTS for? Uh, because gay people interest me?
3. How old are you? Sixteen.
4. What's your gender? Female.
5. What's your sexual orientation? Bisexual, but emotionally I only like men (with a couple of exceptions).
6. How long have you known your orientation? Pretty much my whole life, although with a lot of confusion/uncertianty. I change my mind a lot lol.
7. Do you feel like you fit any orientation-related stereotypes? I don't really know what the bisexual stereotype is...
8. Have you experienced any homo- or transphobia? Not directly, but I have seen it towards other people.
9. Are you out? For how long, or are you planning to? If you are, how did people react? No. I have actually come out twice, both times being very drunk, but afterwards nobody really commented on it, so maybe they didn't think I was serious haha. I sort of make hints like, "She's so hot" or "I have a huge crush on her". Hmm.
10. Do you know many LGBT people? I've had a few bisexual friends, but I went to a really narrow-minded school so nobody was really 'out'.
11. Have you been involved in any LGBT organisations or societies? What did you think of them? No.
12. Have you been to any LGBT events? How were they? No. I might go to my town's Pride this year though. :smile:
13. Do LGBT considerations influence you politically? I'm really really against homophobia, and I'll say if I think someone's got retarded opinions. But I don't really care about politics too much anyway.
14. Are you in a relationship? If so, for how long? No.
15. What do you look for in a partner? Physically attractive, a nice person, and has similar interests to me. Especially music-wise.
16. Have you had any sexual experiences with the same gender? Good or bad? Yes, a while back, kind of average. We were just experimenting, it wasn't anything real.
17. Have you had any sexual experiences with another gender? Good or bad? Same as above.
18. Do you go out on the 'scene' (LGB clubs and bars) much? Can you recommend anywhere? No. I'm a bit young.

Nothing more than the odd name calling


9. Are you out? For how long, or are you planning to? If you are, how did people react?

14. Are you in a relationship? If so, for how long?

16. Have you had any sexual experiences with the same gender? Good or bad?
Yeah, not too bad. Will be better when I'm actually in a relationship though

17. Have you had any sexual experiences with another gender? Good or bad?
Nope, needless to say I think it would be awful :tongue:

11. Have you been involved in any LGBT organisations or societies? What did you think of them? I wasn't really considering my sexuality during freshers so I didn't join the LGBT soc. I'm not sure if I would now, a lot of it seems centered on going on socials which isn't really me.

Hi there :smile:

Not sure if we're actually allowed to chat here or if it's just for questionnaires? So sorry if I shouldn't be :redface:

You were out to your school before your parents? How did you manage that then? I was completely ready to come out to everyone except my parents, and I didn't feel comfortable coming out to my school before my parents because I was afraid that they'd find out from someone else :tongue:

I had similar feelings (not so much that I was worried my parents would hear from someone else, more that I knew my parents would be a bit offended if I told others before them, and there wasn't any chance of it going bad, just awkward to come out with), but I think it depends a lot on how well your parents know your friends, and also on whether you planned to be out to everyone bar family, or just out to a few friends you can trust not to tell others.

Well I think you're right it depends on person to person. Mind you I was lucky because I have family members that go to my school (and one is in my year) who haven't told my parents. If my parents do find out, I don't think it will be a very pretty scene afterwards :frown:. Then again, my parents are fairly culturally conservative and come from big Indian families so perhaps it's just me.

Well when I'm staying round my friends [Which I do ALOT], Usually round my friends near Southgate / Finchley although I also have friends in Leyton, Clapton and Edmonton which I visit frequently :wink: So a bit spaced out.
My actual home address is Hertfordshire, but I'm literally so close to the M25, it's stupid for me to say I live there and then have to explain each time how it's so near London :tongue:

I'm heading to Sheffield Hallam Uni! Going to study Aerospace Technology.

8. Have you experienced any homo- or transphobia? Thankfully I haven’t really. There was a lot of drama when I first came out, I have recently learnt this was to do with the girl I was in a relationship with, rather than who I am. (Long story)
9. Are you out? For how long, or are you planning to? If you are, how did people react? I’m out to the majority of family and friends, I think my grandparents and a few aunts and uncles are the only ones who don’t know. I’ve only recently realized I shouldn’t care what people think and I am being a lot more open than I was like 4 years ago :smile: (yay for personal development). Most people couldnt believe it when I told them, its really not obvious.
10. Do you know many LGBT people? A few of my friends.
11. Have you been involved in any LGBT organisations or societies? What did you think of them? No :frown: But its something I really want to get involved in.
12. Have you been to any LGBT events? How were they? Pride was yesterday, I had to work :frown:
13. Do LGBT considerations influence you politically? I try and stay out of politics, I think they’re all liars.
14. Are you in a relationship? If so, for how long? Newly Single. I was in a very negative relationship for 3 years of my life. Im ready for something new and hopefully drama-free
15. What do you look for in a partner? Someone who can make me smile, who will help me in mundane day to day chores, a girl who respects herself and doesn’t take life too seriously.

Not to mention be unbelievably gorgeous :tongue: (Brown Hair/Brown Eyes is a plus)

16. Have you had any sexual experiences with the same gender? Good or bad? Only with one girl. Enjoyed the act, don’t so much care for the person any more.
17. Have you had any sexual experiences with another gender? Good or bad? Yep, would rather not talk about it! The image still shakes me to the core.
18. Do you go out on the 'scene' (LGB clubs and bars) much? Can you recommend anywhere? I’m dying to go to a gay bar!
19. Name some fit famous people. Mila Kunis, please marry me! The woman is a goddess! Pink, Olivia Wilde, Naya Rivera, Katy Perry, Tracey Ryerson, Lisa Origliasso… I could go on all day!
20. Show us your picture? Don’t want to scare anyone away :P
oooh, questionnaire. These things are what the internet is made for.

1. What's your name? Roger.

2. Is there anything in particular you've come to the TSRLGBTS for? Written communication. It's a forum!

3. How old are you? 21.

4. What's your gender? Genderqueer. Male-assigned at birth because of my genitals, but I really do not identify with what I perceive to be "male" culture.

5. What's your sexual orientation? Gay and polyamorous.

6. How long have you known your orientation? I've only thought of myself as gay for a year or so. I used to identify as bisexual from my early teenage years through to the age of twenty, but it never felt right because even though I have been attracted to the opposite sex, there has never been a sexual component to the attraction. I didn't understand that when I was younger, but I get more neurotic and self-analytical as I grow older, and figured it out a while ago after putting some actual thought into it.

7. Do you feel like you fit any orientation-related stereotypes? I love Lady Gaga and Torchwood, if that counts.

8. Have you experienced any homo- or transphobia? Yes, but usually from people who can hide behind the safety of a computer screen. Nothing dismal in real life apart from some gender-based bullying in high school for being 'male' and having long hair.

9. Are you out? For how long, or are you planning to? If you are, how did people react? I'm out to anyone who asks, or who can read the symbols I wear. Or who deduces it from my publicised same-sex crushes. I am not a private person and do not care who knows what about me.

10. Do you know many LGBT people? Some, and I love them all.

11. Have you been involved in any LGBT organisations or societies? What did you think of them? Not yet. I'll probably join in the forthcoming academic year.

12. Have you been to any LGBT events? How were they? I went to an open lecture last year that was co-arranged by my university's feminist and LGBT societies (a match made in 'heaven'). It was fun, especially because I so rarely encounter discussions about gender and sexuality outside of the internet.

13. Do LGBT considerations influence you politically? Of course. How could they not when it is still such a big topic? The issue of asylum is particularly important. I find it appalling that the UK government routinely rejects asylum to refugees from countries where the only "choice" is between imprisonment/execution and sexual/gender repression. I'm a relentless feminist, too, and I consider that to be inherently related to LGBT politics, so I see everything from a queer-feminist perspective.

14. Are you in a relationship? If so, for how long? No.

15. What do you look for in a partner? Intrigue. A memorable pair of (non-leather) boots and a good posture. I like people who are conscientious, critical-minded, articulate and confident, and who will not get indignant and take it personally when I challenge their opinions or actions.

16. Have you had any sexual experiences with the same gender? Good or bad? No.

17. Have you had any sexual experiences with another gender? Good or bad? No.

18. Do you go out on the 'scene' (LGB clubs and bars) much? Can you recommend anywhere? I don't like clubs and don't go to bars unless I'm with someone. Had fun watching some dismal dancing in Edinburgh's pink triangle last year.

19. Name some fit famous people. Stephen Moyer is always hot in True Blood. I also like James Marsters (preferably with bleached hair), Patrick Wolf, Benedict Cumberbatch, Aidan Turner, Michael Socha, John Simm, Milo Ventimiglia, David Tennant, Jean-Pierre Léaud...too many!

20. Show us your picture? OK. I don't have any interesting photos, unfortunately.

7. Do you feel like you fit any orientation-related stereotypes?
At the moment I just feel and look bloody straight. I'm having gay invisibility issues.

8. Have you experienced any homo- or transphobia? Yes, a bit. I was with a transman for a long time and that was quite difficult.

9. Are you out? For how long, or are you planning to? If you are, how did people react? Out as can be. So out in fact that when I announced I was pregnant, by a man, my family were literally shocked into silence.

10. Do you know many LGBT people? I pretty much only know LGBT people...

11. Have you been involved in any LGBT organisations or societies? What did you think of them? Yeah. I go on a lesbian messageboard and it's cliquey and dramatic but my online home.
