QUIZ: Bears & twinks & otters, oh my! Can we guess which gay subculture you belong to?

Welcome to our interactive and entertaining quiz aiming to guess which of the more common gay subcultures you might belong to.

The LGBTQ+ community is full of diversity and individuality, with many different subcultures that exist within it. And each subculture has its own unique characteristics and traits.

From bears to twinks, each group represents a spectrum of experiences and backgrounds that make up the rich diversity of the gay community.

We get that many of us don’t neatly fit into just one category and might identify with multiple subcultures. Plus, we know these groups are often based on stereotypes and not everyone matches the typical characteristics associated with a particular subculture.

Our goal is not to label you, but rather offer a fun and lighthearted way to explore some of the diverse identities within the LGBTQ+ community.

So let’s get started and see if we can accurately guess which gay subculture fits you best.
