I am that straight
I’m a psychology major and actually learned about this scale a couple weeks ago. The "gay scale" in psychology has nothing to do with flamboyancy. It’s pretty much different levels of emotional attractiveness and sexual attractiveness. There are people out there who are married and love their wives, yet go out and cheat with other men. Now this person has an emotional attraction to females but has a sexual attraction to both males and females, meaning he is less gay then someone who is both physically and emotionally attracted to only men. According to my psychology of human sexuality teacher, this scale/idea has started to be implemented because the cut and dry/gay or straight labeling can cause mental confusion in some "gay" individuals. The confusion can be detrimental to that individual’s mental health. This less cut and dry idea about homosexuality makes it easier for people to decide if they are gay or straight.
