seriously though, which does LW have more of: women, or gay/bisexual men? I honestly don't know.
I know that polls like this seem to be generally frowned upon at LW, and this is probably a silly place to put a poll, but I'm going to go ahead and start one here anyway.

upvote this comment if you're a gay or bisexual male
I'm a bisexual male, but can't upvote my own comment.
So the results so far are: 4 women, 4 gay/bisexual men, and 5 heterosexual men.
This means that that there are approximately as many women on LW as there are gay/bisexual men. And almost half of the men on LW are gay/bisexual.
And yes, I know that there are probably several reasons why this poll's results are biased or otherwise unreliable, but at least now we have some data.
One obvious problem with this poll: it contradicts a previous survey, which said:
"(96.4%) were male, 5 (3%) were female, and one chose not to reveal their gender."
so it looks like there were lots of heterosexual males who didn't bother voting.

Unfortunately, we don't know whether people who read the discussion section have significant differences from those who don't.
