<p>I don’t like the way the question is worded (the original link posted a few months ago), but I do like the fact that it included a “prefer not to answer”. I am bisexual but I don’t necessarily consider myself a part of the “LGBT community”. I didn’t answer the race questions, even though I am white/Hispanic and I wouldn’t answer LGBT questions simply because I hate being classified as something for statistical purposes. Anyway, a better way of asking would be “Do you identify as LGBTQ or gender neutral (as well as a few other ones)?”</p>
<p>ETA: This is, unfortunately, an issue with living arrangements. A friend of mine who is moving into my apartment next year has already been practically living in my apartment because her roommate is bothered by the fact that she’s a lesbian. She has a girlfriend, who has only come up once, and it really “creeps out” her roommate. My roommates, however, have never had an issue with my sexuality and none of the gay men I know have had any issues with their roommates. It baffles me that people can be bothered by the sexuality of their roommate- I’ve met too many straight people who think that LGBT people hit on anything with a pulse. Get over yourselves (to those who think that their roommate is going to hit on them just because their roommate is gay or a lesbian).</p>
