Frequently Asked Questions

I identify as 100% lesbian, but the quiz gave me 58.33%. What’s up with that?

This quiz draws on research that suggests certain factors may be linked to lesbian orientation. However, it’s crucial to remember that sexual identity is complex and deeply personal. No online quiz can fully capture your lived experience. The percentage you see reflects patterns observed in studies, based on your responses to specific questions. It’s not meant to challenge or define your identity. Always trust your own understanding of yourself over any external assessment.

How accurate is this quiz?

While the quiz is grounded in scientific research on sexual orientation, it’s primarily designed for fun and education, not as a diagnostic tool. Human sexuality is incredibly diverse and nuanced. Think of the results as an interesting reflection of certain trends rather than a definitive measure of your sexual orientation. It’s more about sparking thought and conversation than providing concrete answers.

Can I use this quiz to figure out someone else’s orientation?

Feel free to share the quiz if you think others might enjoy it. Just keep in mind that sexual orientation is a personal matter, so approach the topic with care and respect. Encourage people to view the quiz as a fun exploration rather than a serious assessment of their identity. It’s all about self-discovery, not labeling others.

I’ve taken the quiz twice and got slightly different results. Why is that?

Don’t sweat the small differences! Your responses can vary based on your mood, recent experiences, or even how you interpret the questions at that moment. Our identities and experiences aren’t set in stone, and neither are quiz results. These slight variations just show how complex and fluid human identity can be. Remember, the quiz is meant to be a fun tool for reflection, not an exact science.

Were there lesbians in ancient times? Can you give me some examples?

Absolutely! Women loving women isn’t a new phenomenon. One of the most famous examples is Sappho, an ancient Greek poet from the island of Lesbos (yep, that’s where we get the term "lesbian"). She was dropping romantic verses about women way back in 600 BCE. There’s also the story of Callisthenes, a 2nd century BCE woman who reportedly dressed as a man to marry the woman she loved. These examples show that same-sex relationships between women have been around throughout history, even if they weren’t always talked about or recorded the way they are today.

What should I do if my parents want to cut ties after learning I’m a lesbian?

First off, I’m sorry you’re dealing with this. It’s a tough situation, but you’re not alone. Here are some steps you might consider:

  1. Find Your People: Reach out to friends, LGBTQ+ support groups, or counselors who can offer a listening ear and guidance. Organizations like PFLAG are great resources for both you and your parents.
  2. Open a Dialogue: If it’s safe to do so, try to have an honest conversation with your parents. Share your experiences and how their reaction is affecting you. Sometimes, parents just need time to process and understand.
  3. Set Boundaries: If your parents aren’t ready to accept you, it’s okay to create some space to protect your mental health. This might mean limiting contact or becoming more independent until they come around.
  4. Consider Family Therapy: If your parents are open to it, family counseling could help. Having a neutral third party can sometimes make these conversations easier and help bridge the gap in understanding.

Remember, this is a journey for both you and your family. Be patient with yourself and others as you navigate this challenging time. There’s hope for understanding and connection, even if it takes time.
