"Am I Gay?" Quiz
"Am I Gay?" Quiz refers to controversial online pop-up mini quizzes that often appear as advertised on YouTube or other websites.
Journalists have referred to them as controversial because upon testing them out , the quizzes have a bias in favor of tending to generally say "YES" upon completion of the quiz, regardless of the answers with a 60/40 ratio defaulting to yes.
Members of the LGBT community have also expressed condemnation of such quizzes because the quizzes reinforce harmful stereotypes on young impressionable children, for example saying that boys who express hugs and affection to other boys are "gay" or that a girl finding other girls aesthetically appealing makes her "lesbian". Another one is saying that somebody with fluid sexual paraphilia is automatically gay.
These quizzes use these harmful stereotypes to automatically assign "gay" onto a user, despite the actual sexuality of the user. The stereotypes are ironically homophobic.
