May I know how many are lefties here? I am.
anyways, i read somethin bout handedness having to do with one's sexual orientation...it says that homosexual individuals are somewhat more likely to be non-right-handed than heterosexual individuals. -^_^-

I have no idea if the phenomenon exists, but if it does, it will be very slight. In other words, you won't see much evidence with such a small sample size. Most gay people are right-handed, just like the rest of the population. I am.

I am somewhat ambidextrous although I was brought up to write with my right hand. My 'rents think that had they not pressured me to be right handed I would be left handed.

I'm right handed, Jon is right handed and Daniel is right handed. Jon and I can do one thing with either hand.

I'm pretty strongly right-handed. There's no way I'd be able to throw a decent curveball with my left hand.

It must be frightful to be a left-handed cameraman. All the hand-held movie and video cameras I've used have been designed for a right-handed person. If I had to support them with my left hand they'd be wobbling all over the place.
It must also be pretty hard to play the piano well if you're left-handed. A piano is designed so that the treble is on the right hand side. This is because the treble generally holds the tune, and is often more forceful and intricate -- it lends itself to the dominant hand.
I count myself as extremely lucky to be right-eyed. I guess that's not something you'd normally think about, but I do as I'm almost blind in my left eye. If my dominant eye were the left one, instead, I'd be virtually unable to use any right-handed cameras. As it is, I just have trouble with my glasses getting in the way, and I can live with that.

I'm also strongly left-handed.
There does seem to be some evidence that gay men are a little more likely to be lefthanded than straight men - the Wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handedness_and_sexual_orientation gives some recent studies, for example.
That doesn't, of course, imply any causal connection between the two - I've always rather assumed that the connection has been that if one's the kind of person who stands up for one's right to do what comes naturally, that will apply equally to handedness and sexual orientation. Hopefully, as both homo/bi sexuality and lefthandedness are becoming more socially acceptable, we'll get a better view of whether there is actually any correalation between the two, or whether it's just people having been forced to disguise either handedness or sexuality.

I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous.

Never of girls with big bulges in their blouses.

What about ambidexterous?
Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

I'm ambivalent about that.

... as I was forced - or at least strongly urged - to write with my right hand in my early schooldays, though I had been left-handed up to that point. I'm ambidextrous in some respects, but curiously can't now write with my left hand, though when writing right-handed I hold my pen pretty much upright, as most left-handers do.
A bit ambidextrous, a bit bi-sexual, and a convinced 'militant moderate', if such a thing is possible. I've always kinda enjoyed being in the middle - especially in a threesome!
For a' that an' a' that,
It's comin' yet for a' that,
That man tae man, the worrld o'er
Shall brithers be, for a' that.
