Nothing wrong with being curious about other people in a group you are part of. It is always kind of interesting to see what the spread is (granted, it isn't the entire group, only the vocal people who go on the forum, but still).
Gay here, by the way.
This isn't gonna be accurate, because of all of the little kids that are going to rush in here and vote "im not a gayz!!!!!11111!!!11one!!111", even if they don't post. It will make them feel good, I guess.
I would have suspected the opposite. I would think a couple people would submit responses as gay/lesbian to sway the polls. But when enough people have responded, effects like that will likely level off some.

Why? Noone sees what you are choosing for poll options. And straight or gay or bi, or disinterested there is no normal. I guess if you want to be a wall flower you can be "normal" but if you are unique then you aren't normal.
I think it's funny how the thread is being derailed more because of people saying it's pointless or there will be flaming than actual flaming towards people's preferences
Anyway, I marked myself down under "gay" but I'm not entirely gay; I find a few women attractive, just not many.
Gay here as well.. I think this belongs in off-topic unless the OP's point was to find out specifically about beta players. Which makes sense since shockingly this specific part of these forums generates the most traffic on the site.
I don't know why everyone's panties is getting in a twist about this thread. I think gathering some demographic information about beta players, the ones that are obviously hounding for updates, flaming, trolling and anxiously awaiting word from the almighty Notch could be cool. Could build some charts, maybe even a map of sorts showing hotspots about location on who is where and what kind of demographics they fall under on their own.
Like was said earlier, there isn't a thing wrong with being curious about fellow players, I mean how cool would it be if you could identify with someone and build a GLBT friendly server rather than having mindless slurs and banter typed in caps at people when they get enraged or are just being jackasses?

Nothing. They're just there to scare the **** out of you.

If this is a hut, I would hate to see what a house is.
But then again, I did this because I was sick and tired of repeat age/gender polls and went with something I thought most people would go "WTF?" when they saw it. I'm shamed to admit that OP is my superior in this domain, I only wish I had thought of that first…
Also, you omitted "homophobe" from the poll options. It would be improper to judge or label others just because they do the same, don't you agree?
(NOTE: I'm not a homophobe, but I'm really put off by people who discuss personal matters in public. I blame this kind of behavior for the success of reality television. Doesn't anyone have the slightest shred of DIGNITY any more?)

He most likely omitted it because homophobic is not a sexual orientation, but rather a fear of gay people. Don't get me wrong, I'm a strong supporter for gay rights, but you brought something completely unrelated up that can potentially start a massive flame war. Better yet, you're calling others out on their opinion, something they're entitled to; it's just as bad as going around labeling gays. If you're going to fight for something, do it in a mature manner so you'll be taken more seriously.
Anyway, OP, I for one think this is a great thread, I'm just wondering if most of the forum-base is to young to actually know their sexual orientation completely. At least, they don't act mature enough to be older than 12... But hey, ignore the haters, haters gon' hate. *monitors*

...its a little weightist to assume everyone is the same size. Like some people are skinny and some people are fart.
Gay here, by the way.

Stop asking questions that have been answered four-odd times; it just makes you appear argumentative for its own sake.

The propriety of this being here has been discussed at length, sometimes hatefully.
Sorry I didn't have time to read 2 pages of what I assumed would be people claiming their orientation.
Anyway, I marked myself down under "gay" but I'm not entirely gay; I find a few women attractive, just not many.
Ditto
That includes me as well.
