News, Reviews & Commentary on Lesbian and Bisexual women in Entertainment and the Media

Okay, here's a silly question, but I can't help myself.  I'm curious.  My best friend just told me she read while there are only 10-12% of left-handed people in the entire population, the percentage is MUCH higher among bisexual and gay women.  Is that true?  Aren't lefties supposed to be more prone to creative and emotional thinking?  Then again, historically, weren't lefties believed to be directly related to the devil?  LOL All the bases are covered there, but I guess what I'm asking is:  Are you left-handed or right-handed?

I'm left-handed  :)

I'm a lefty. And I have

I'm a lefty. And I have heard that left-handed people are more creative, but not that they were more likely to be bisexuals/lesbians.

Interesting concept.

I'm a lefty

I use my left hand to write and eat but for the most part I use my right hand for everything else - the number pad on a computer, calculator, golfing, etc.

Yep

Same here. I also brush my teeth with my left hand. If I have to cut something with a scissor I use my right hand... weird...

 

"ehm...yeah..."

I took biological psychology and it does say that left anded people have a higher predisposition to homosexual/bisexual tendences. Love being a lefty

Righty but born Lefty

Maybe that explains my bisexuality!
maryon's picture

just like me!

My mom and school insisted that it was not politically correct to write with the right hand. Luckily I never listened to them concerning my sexuality. I'm still not interested to try a man.  `^_^'

quemaravilla's picture

smilelikeyoumeanit's picture

Ambidextrous

It just means that both of your hands feel natural to write with :P

Righty.  I've heard about

Righty.  I've heard about lefties dying younger too... but it's probably nonesense.  Probably ;D

Righty

but born a lefty. I had to change because of school, but I still retain some leftiness (is that even a word?). Anyway, apparently according to my mother, if I was really strongly predisposed to be a lefty, any amount of coercion wouldn't have turned me into a righty. For example, one of my Aunt (lefty, though of the hetro persuasion) is still a lefty despite being scolded constantly for using her left hand, and whilst she temporarily gave in under the pressure, she went back to her leftiness when she married. However, I believe there are many other elements that played a part.

righty

inx41's picture

Righty!

Right handed...but gay! But I'm very arty and creative. Maybe lefties aren't really more creative...dunno. It's wierd how many lefty lesbians we have here on AE. Amazing!
absentminded87's picture

lefty

lefty, always have been..

i am bisexual, and creative.. not feeling the devil-vibe that much, though i'm by no means Christian either. I hope i don't die 6 six sooner because i write and do other things with my left hand instead of my right.

i am left-winged as well though (aren't most lesbians/bisexuals?). Perhaps someone should research whether the conservative right-wingers have a high percentage of lefties?

lotus_starr's picture

RIGHTY

and im as gay as gay can be....lol....

aRiM's picture

born lefty

but then i used to draw a lot instead of study, so "the dragon" aka mom kinda smacked my hand a lot with a cane (corporal punishment).. and it hurt a lot to pick up a pencil, so i had to learn how to use my right hand..

guess that makes me a righty..

sheshe1876's picture

lefty

I am a lefty too!!! I have heard of a lot of stories about being trained to be right handed....I am glad that my school didn't do that

kemy's picture

a righty

not much I can say exept I wished I was a lefty that would have made my life alittle interesting....

AoiSora's picture

Right-handed too...

I wonder if there's any reason to being left- or right-handed? Heard even animals are? :S

Wouldn't it be more useful to be able to do everything with both hands.? (Which is why I write with the left hand sometimes... wouldn't want it to feel left out XD)

So far it seems like the theory is working out :) (or it means left-handed people visit forums more or tend to speak up more or are more interested in the topic anyhow XD)

Long live the Left

I'm a Lefty for sure since the day I was born.  Now when people ask why I'm gay I can just say it's because I'm left handed and leave them wondering what the hell that means.
kemy's picture

lol

funny jamiegirl... but what excuse do i have, far as im concern im a righty and my ring fingers arent longer than the index fingures... please think of a an excuse I can have!

AoiSora's picture

be25888's picture

righty

but do things with left hand sometimes. that doesn't make me bi

 

oohshiny's picture

I'm right handed, but...

one of my best friends has a tshirt that reads "Leftys are better lovers"

somehow, i believe her :)

ff6fiend666's picture

Ambidexterous

My right hand can write faster, but the results are barely ledgible, my left hand is way neater but is half the speed.
Extra ordinary's picture

That Depends....

I write with my left hand but I throw with my right. But when throw a ball, I throw it with my right, but when I throw a Frisbee, it's with my left. I play ping pong with my left but tennis with my right. If you mean solely which hand I write with, I'm a lefty.
lespaul13's picture

Righty

the only thing i can do with my left hand is hold chords on the guitar & catch a softball (glovehand). it's freaking retarded...ever since i was little i have been practicing writing with my left hand (i was paranoid & decided i should in case i ended up not being able to write with my right for some reason).

uh...yeah

aimee costa's picture

me too!

same with me just guitar and softball.. except i taught myself to write with my left hand cause i always wanted to be a lefty cause i thought they where cool!
Acidian's picture

Right-handed

I'm not very creative and artistic. The best I can do in that sector is creative writing. I barely use my left for anything except to type, eat,hold a ruler, etc. My best co-ordination is with my right hand.

But then again biology is made of a lot of exceptions and constant changes, so I guess I'm the all round righty lesbian.

summerrun88's picture

southpaw

lefty and proud!! my ring fingers are also longer than my index fingers, and im very creative and super good at raquet sports (tennis, squash, ping pong). lefties are supposed to have a natural advantage in racquet sports because there are fewer of them so righties do not know how to return lefty serves. oh, and im gay as well. yey. another interesting fact is that polar bears have always been my favorite animal for some reason, and i recently found out that the majority of polar bears are left handed. a while ago i heard that 90% of lesbians are left-handed and 50% of gays are left-handed. Or something like that. I dont remember the exact statistic. so cool
