Why does it matter. If you really had respect based on sexual orientation you wouldn't pry into the matter because caring if someone is strait or gay implies that you may have an issue with them depending on their answer. Not always the case but its the impression making this thread gives. I'm strait, but I used to hang out with a bunch of gay guys. I learned that gay guys throw awesome parties and are the only parties that chicks outnumber guys at. Guys avoid gay parties because they assume it will be a bunch of gay guys hitting on them, and girls go to the parties because a lot of gay guys always have hot girls as friends, and the girls think they are safe from getting hit on there. Not always the case.
