It has been awile sinse iv'e thought about this, but a recent email has had me thinking...

Are gay guys smarter than other people?

I am aware that there is no physical or any theoretical studies that will ever hope to prove that one person is smarter than any other due to sexuality, but it seems, strangely, that most gay and lesbian friends, and people i know, seem smarter than hetrosexual people...a queer and disturbing thought

now...just out of interest, i went to http://www.iqtest.com yesterday and did the quick IQ test, and got a score of 129, other sites i went to gave me scores between 127 and 132.

I asked a few of my straight msn contacts to take the test, and they averaged between 85 and 109, while i also asked my gay msn contacts and they average all above 107

I asked five from each group and they were all over 17 and under 21

This is a strange unoficial thing, and it might be coincidental, or it may have reasons to do with gay lifestiles, or how much harder we work to stay in the closet. Who knows?

So what I'm asking you here to do (after a looooooong speach) is to get ur own IQ from any free site, you normally awnser between fourty and 200 questions and they email you a responce. It would also be interesting to know ur average IQ. I will try to do the same with a few straight people at other GBLT or PFLAG sites, and see what the comparison is.
