Summary
As a closeted teen, the author discovered the insidious allure of online "am I gay?" quizzes. From his earliest days participating on sites like BuzzFeed, he tested his "queerness" by answering questions about hobbies and preferences, often tweaking his answers for effect. Now a 29-year-old gay adult, he continues to engage in these quizzes purely for fun, despite their lack of scientific accuracy or precision. The author notes that while such quizzes aren't reliable, they remain a beloved part of internet culture among LGBTQ+ communities, offering a lighthearted way to connect and explore one's sexuality.
