When is the race/ethnicity poll?

  Right after religion and political leaning.

    Poll: At what age did you lose your virginity?

      I would reply "When I first used emacs." just to get an upvote from RMS.

  To me, it's a curiosity, partly because I'm a gay guy and partly because sexual orientation isn't something that's outwardly obvious. The anonymity of an internet poll is the perfect place to find out. I know we could poll the hell out of the community and drill down to all kinds of details, but the one thing I've never, ever heard anybody discuss is the distribution of sexual orientations in tech, or at least as is represented by the HN userbase.

    It's actually interesting to hear that you're serious. After the backlash against the gender poll I instinctively thought your poll was snark directed at the original poll e.g. "You think asking your gender is intrusive? Well how about I ask about your sexual orientation?"

      Not at all! It's just something that's never been discussed and I wanted to know how "alone" I am in terms of sexual orientation in the tech industry!
