being a Canadian Australian is a difficult lifestyle, the constant stares, the religious fundamentalists banging at my door, but I cannot hide from myself and I will be proud to say that yes I am Canadian.

Wait. Someone other than me thought up this spectrum? Well shit, and here I thought i was original and inventive.Giftfromme said:

I've heard that Canada's a very nice place, perhaps I could try being Canadian to shake things up!

Ehhh... I'm Hetero.
But some of my friends think I'm homo/bisexual due to the one time I made out with a guy (I was young, curious as to whether I'd like it (I'd heard about people not realising they were gay until later in life because they denied it all their life) and was waiting for my girlfriend to show up so I was bored and in the mood...)
Also the "Straight, mostly straight, slightly straight and gay" spectrum is complete bullshit in my opinion, since you may have fantasies about people but it's whether or not you can and do get sexually excited by them. (I base this around the whole fact that I know a few people (Myself included) who cannot perform sexual acts with the gender they are not attracted to because they physically cannot do it (Or "Get it up" to put it in more laymans terms))

Pretty sure this is what you're looking forGiftfromme said:

Its not perfect because there's other orientations that a scale like this cant represent but its a hell of alot better than just people being straight/gay/bi
Unless you're Alfred Kinsey et al, im afraid you were beaten to itIronman126 said:

OT: Im Pansexual, its basically the same as bisexual although it encompases ALL genders rather than the traditional male/female that bisexuality includes.
This person is right.Giftfromme said:
The scale you're looking for in the Kinsey Scale, which you can read at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinsey_scale
The short version is that it is a seven point scale which has completely homosexual on one end, completely hetersexual on the other, and 1-5 show degrees of bisexuality ranging from "almost straight, but incidentally might have homosexual thoughts/behavior" to "almost homosexual, but incidentally might have heterosexual thoughts/behavior." Not sure how much I buy their reports' numbers; sadly sex researchers tend to really push their own conclusions. The Kinsey researchers did take some criticism for sample bias and other problems.
A separate category for asexuals is included, though I believe asexuality should also be on a continuum from "not interested" to "if it has a pulse."
Finally, transgender is a separate issue from sexual preference. It has to do with whether the brain and the rest of the body receive the same signals in utero.
Camadians are cool. Just sayin'. But Hetro. Probably.
Never really thought about it. But hetro is probably right.

It does seem like fun, frolicking with naught but maple leaves to cover one's dignity, but alas, I'm not Canadian.Redlin5 said:
Heterosexual, though I imagine I should experiment at some point in my life.
So you're asking sexual orientation on the poll, then including a non-orientation answer (Not counting the obvious joke one).starmano1 said:
It's nice to be included, but the problem is transfolk also have sexual identities. I'm bisexuals and trans. Where do we vote, plz?
You really don't want to experiment with Canadians. It's a slippery slope.Necroid_Neko said:

I'm heterosexual. Penises are ick.
However, my brother was convinced he was Canadian! We kept telling him it was genetic, you can't just wake up one day and decide you're Canadian.

Hetero, but I'm sure we've all had Canadian urges one time or another.
I do believe you won the internet, sir. Would you like a prize?ablac said:
