It has happened to all of us. You’re just going about your life and you meet a woman and you fall instantly in love with her, but there’s one problem: You have no idea if she’s gay or straight. Maybe she has even said she is straight, but you remain uncertain she really knows herself, because if she’s straight why do you have this cosmic connection that transcends time and space? So, here we go, a useful quiz for you to figure out if that girl is gay.

Gay or straight. Famously the only two options. Please do better autostraddle.
*No, she’s not gay*
Whew! Thanks, I dodged a bullet there
Omfg the hand-up STOP TAKING THIS QUIZ AND JUST TALK TO HER Kayla picture startled me!!! I filled this out with my ex-therapist in mind (who is still my ex’s therapist 🤪) and she is definitely one of the straightest people in the world and I never want to talk to her again but the stern look directly into the camera and the massive ✋ are almost convincing me I should.

Possibly the gayest comment I’ve read on AS, lol
Thank you Cleo, this is a better compliment than any comment award 🌈
Happy April Fool’s day Autostraddle! Best day of the year
Oh no, my wife isn’t gay!
