For instance, if you are gay, what characteristics do you have that are stereotypically "straight?" If you are straight, what characteristics do you have that are sterotypically "gay?"
If you are bi, you can answer for both "gay" and "straight" stereotypes.
As for me, I'm a straight woman but I love the Indigo Girls and other musicians that appeal to the "lesbian" population.

I'm bi(more towards the gay side)..
And I have to say I'm pretty even. I can be real masculine or feminine at times...
But from the way I dress, speak and my common interests like music or movies, I guess I fit in the "straight" stereotype..
And I do not wear pink or dance around in short shorts and say "OMG, like nooo way, that skirt looks SO good on you!"
Haha, I'm not like that.. but I aint completely butch either. Evenly split, I guess.. hehe.

I'm a total girly-girl. The typical "You're going to make me break a nail!" I love dresses and skirts and girly clothes. I have long hair. I CAN'T do sports, I couldn't even beat a stereotypical gay man in sports. I love romance movies and books, if they're straight or gay, I don't care. I don't try to hide that I cry, although I don't do it in front of my family. Nor do I hide my feelings. I actually CAN make friends with straight men and gay men, despite the fact that lesbians are supposed to be feminist.
I don't do PDA so that guys can picture themselves in the middle of two girls in bed. I'm not sure about others, but I won't *turn* straight for any man. AND I don't flaunt my sexuality like some people like to think of lesbians.

I'm a "straight, married, female", BUT I am not the typical.. "oh no! I broke my nail!" type. I have no problems getting my hands dirty, and I love wearing men's work clothes (Dickie's and Ben Davis).
I got suspended from school a lot from fighting... and I'm not proud of it... BUT I must say that I could easily take down a guy for calling me a b*tch. Also, I'm very much into soccer, snowboarding, skateboarding, and sometimes football and basketball.
You may hear me say things like ... "If I was a dude, I'd hit that.." LMAO! And though I am more feminine in appearances, I am definitely a tomboy at heart! BUT I love my man! ;o)

I am straight. The only "stereotypical" characteristics that I'm told about is the way I dress. I like to dress nice and unique, so thats about it.
side note. I havent met as many gay men that are good dressers as I have bad. A gay friend of mine dresses like a lumberjack - lol

I am Bisexual.
I do not have to have sex all the time.
I do not hit on everyone I see.
I am in a committed relationship, and will never cheat.
I am, or at least I think I am a good mother.
My sexuality is a part of me, it does not define me. This is a wonderful question. It shows that just because a person has a certain sexual preference, that does not mean that everyone that has the same preference is the same in any other aspect of their lives. Stars for you!

I am gay and I'm not a liar or a cheater. I actually didn't go on dates with anyone when I was single to hook up, but for a boyfriend. I am not a fashion expert, but can help other people dress well. I am not lispy, queenie, or flaming. I am not promiscuous or have sex with multiple partners. So I don't fit many gay stereotypes... :) I really don't have a problem with anyone who does fit the stereotypes, just respect me, and I'll respect you.

I really like having long hair, I would be very upset if it needed to be cut short. And watching romantic movies (strictly lesbian movies of course, a guy & girl film simply doesn't work for me).
Otherwise i fit the stereotype perfectly.

I'm gay, I don't have sex at the drop of the hat, I don't make passes at every single man I meet, and heck I love beer with my straight guy friends all the time. When I came out to some people, they were shocked that I was gay. Their reaction was, "But you don't look or behave gay at all!!" Wow, that's news, LOL!

I am a straight guy but i like listening to songs by gay artists such as George Micheal, Elton John and Freedy Mercury. They are full of emotions and about life.
