WHAT IS YOUR SEXUAL ORIENTATION?

This question is a bit of a "Fun Break" within the questions of The Vegan Relationship Survey. The majority of the responders, by far, were heterosexual; same as in society. There seemed to be a generational divide in this question. Older responders answered "Man and Wife" or "Normal" while younger responders said "Equal opportunity". There may be no relevance to veganism (as to the different responses from the different generations); that could very well be true of the general population. So maybe this question didn' t have much relevance to veganism, but it had some fun answers! I am not sure if a few of them are kidding, but here's what responders had to say in response to the question: What is your SEXUAL ORIENTATION?
