All options except the last two are cisgender.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=BQIeBB9XMe8 I'm curious to see the kind of demographics this movie appeals to. Straight Men I'm a part of this demographic. I actually watched and enjoyed Brokeback Mountain back in the day when I was a teenager. I heard it was good and I didn't mind the fact that it was a gay drama, so I watched it. I felt a bit uncomfortable during the sex scenes, but that should be normal coming from a straight man. Overall, I really liked the movie and it deserves the awards it won. As for Bros, I personally found the trailer hilarious and I'm definitely going to watch it. I also find it refreshing because it's not going to use any of the common tropes found in straight romantic comedies, it's all new material. I'll probably feel a bit uncomfortable during sex scenes if there are any, but I don't care. But how many straight men like me are actually interested in that movie? Gay and Bisexual Men I assume this is the main target demographic for obvious reasons. It can serve as a good comparison to other categories. Straight and Bisexual Women Straight men are very often part of the target demographic when it comes to lesbian media, so I assume the opposite applies for this movie. Lesbian Women I can certainly relate with this demographic. Like them, I feel zero attraction toward men. But is being part of the LGBTQ community going to make a difference compared to being a straight men? Transgender I know this category doesn't take sexual orientation into account, but I couldn't include all of the possible options. Still, I don't believe it'll make that much of a difference considering the very low percentage of transgender people. I didn't want to exclude them, but I also didn't want to include them within the other options because I believe it would skew the results. I assume transgender people are much more likely to be interested in this movie than cisgender people with the same sexual orientation. --- I'm French speaking. 32/Male/Quebec ...

ParanoidObsessive posted... No and I'm 1.7 on the Kinsey Scale.Decimal numbers aren't possible. Mine is 0, obviously. Anyway, can you tell us the reason why you don't want to watch it? I noticed that two out of two gay/bisexual men voted no so far. Is the movie unappealing to them because it doesn't accurately reflect the reality of gay romance or because the movie itself is uninteresting and it's not because of the premise. I sincerely doubt it's the former, but I'm not well placed to judge considering I've never been in the shoes of a gay man and never will be. --- I'm French speaking. 32/Male/Quebec ...

By telling others they are wrong about their sexual orientation because they dont follow your Kinsey Scale, youre gatekeeping them The scale is old and outdated. So, as time went on, people have updated it. The old Kinsey scale didnt have decimals. The new Kinsey Scale does. Its that simple Things grow and change. As we learned more about sexuality and sexual orientation, we need to update the things that go with those, such as the Kinsey Scale So, no. We wont call it something else. Its still the Kinsey Scale.

There are probably hundreds of different tests to rate sexual orientation, but only one of them is called the Kinsey scale. I'm not here to argue which scale is better. I honestly don't care. All I'm saying is that you can't call every video game console a Nintendo. If you're only playing on a PlayStation, you can't say you play on a Nintendo. That's a brand/model. What is the name of the scale ParanoidObsessive used to get a 1.7? Contrary to what they claimed, it can't be the Kinsey one. The same goes for Far-Queue. --- I'm French speaking. 32/Male/Quebec ...

Just because they took tests that werent the test you wanted them to take doesnt mean it wasnt a Kinsey Scale test It was a different one. Weve learned a lot about sexuality since 1948 And the Kinsey Scale should/has been updated to fit the newly learned information Even if decimals are impossible on your Kinsey Test, it doesnt mean its impossible on every other Kinsey Test By telling them their results are invalid because they didnt take the test you wanted to them to take is just a form of gatekeeping So, yes, they got a decimal in the Kinsey Scale Just not the same one you use --- Official King of Kings Switch FC: 7216-4417-4511 Add Me because I'll probably add you.

Accrovideogames posted... Again, I don't give a shit about the Kinsey scale and you're free to use it or not. But don't claim to have taken the Kinsey scale test and gotten an impossible result. You keep using terms like scale and test interchangeably, but that's not actually how things work. Kinsey (and his co-researchers) came up with the scale. He based his findings on thousands of in-depth interviews with subjects across a wide spectrum of experiences. He didn't invent a simplistic Internet quiz designed to place you definitively and irrevocably on a single point on the scale. The scale was never meant to be an objective quantitative value as much as a short-hand for indicating variance, similar to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. The test you keep pointing to as if it were Holy Writ has absolutely nothing to do with Kinsey and has zero authority to represent his research. It was cobbled together by random assholes 50+ years later based on their understanding and interpretation of the original research. You're basically pointing to the equivalent of a Facebook quiz telling you which Hogwarts House you'd belong in and treating it like the Sorting Hat was real and just gave you your official assignment. The test you're pointing to has no more legitimate claim to authority or meaningful worth than any other 30-second quiz you can find on the Internet on any given subject. It doesn't make you correct any more than the other quizzes make you a wizard, or a magical spirit animal, or a Pokemon. And even Kinsey himself would disagree with you: "It should be recognized that the reality includes individuals of every intermediate type, lying in a continuum between the two extremes and between each and every category on the scale." He said that. So basically, you're completely full of shit and should probably stop throwing meaningless temper tantrums. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ...

Forget about the test I posted and read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinsey_scale The Kinsey scale only has seven ratings (eight if you include X, which is the lack of a rating, a.k.a. N/A): 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. There's nothing about decimal numbers. If you're using decimal numbers, you're using a different scale, one that wasn't made by Alfred Kinsey. There's nothing wrong with that. You are free to use any method you want to rate your sexual orientation. Personally, I don't need a scale to tell you that I'm 100% heterosexual and that I find the idea of me personally having sex with someone of the same sex as mine disgusting. But that's just me. But what is the Kinsey scale? It's a heterosexualhomosexual rating scale that does exactly what it says on the tin. The Kinsey scale was also the first of its kind. Since its creation, it has become outdated for several reasons, the primary one being that it only really works with cisgender people. So what are we supposed to do if we wish to continue using a scale to rate sexual oritentation? It's simple: create a new one. This entire conversation is ridiculous. All I'm seeing are people fighting about semantics and looking for reasons to get offended. People are getting batshit crazy because I refuse to call a Pepsi a Coke. What the hell is wrong with this generation? Far-Queue posted... Thanks bruh not sure what this cat's problem is calling me a liar and shit. Dude's rudePlease carefully read what someone says before insulting them. I said either you're lying or you took a different test. If the reason why you got a 2.4 is because you took a different test, then I did not call you a liar. In order to put this to rest, can you tell me which test you took to get a score of 2.4? That's the best way of settling this argument by putting aside all misunderstandings. Because as it stands right now, a 2.4 doesn't mean anything. I can say that it's 26 degrees outside right now and most people reading this will think that it's cold when it's actually hot. Why? Because they're using Fahrenheit and I'm using Celsius. --- I'm French speaking. 32/Male/Quebec ... Copied to Clipboard!

Like PO said, its a scale While it only shows whole number, that doesnt mean each person has to be on a whole number Like this line graph: https://i.imgur.com/E6LLlRg.png The line graph has whole numbers. But the points dont have to be on the numbers. They can be in between The how charts work. The Kinsey Scale chart is similar They may show the whole numbers, but that dont mean everyone has to be on a whole number They can be in numbers in between (i.e. Decimals) So, they are using the Kinsey scale. It just turns out you dont know how scales/graphs/charts work Because nobody (including the creator) said you had to be on a whole number The only person saying that it you Which would be gatekeeping You can pretend its not, but it 100% is --- Official King of Kings Switch FC: 7216-4417-4511 Add Me because I'll probably add you.

I think this movie feels kinda offensive, the cast seems to feature extremely streotypical archetypes queer people have to deal with.
