I like inclusiveness, but, people should really stop adding more and more letters to that symbol.

It's a First Nations concept, I think.

Bumpin'

Are there many people that don't fall into one of these anymore, given the inclusion of straight allies?

Boringly heterosexual, but I'm not sure what some of the options mean - what does "2 spirited" refer to? ???

e: Allies?

Two-Spirit refers to Native-American transgenderism. I don't know much about it beyond that.

I know the Atlas Forum isn't exactly the most heteronormative place on the internet, but 50% gay or bisexual? That's surprisingly high.

That's because of selection bias, and the fact that heterosexuals are less likely to vote in this poll, and more likely to be confused about which option they're supposed to pick if heterosexual.

Yeah, I didn't think "allies" (what a self-important term for holding the shocking position that there's nothing wrong with gay people, BTW) was a sexual orientation.
