    Well that depends on if gayness is a continuous or discrete quantity. If gay comes in very small but distinct indivisible units, the minimum could certainly be just 1 of these units.

    Still, the upper range is likely to be unbound.

      I don’t think there’s such a thing as a discrete gay… number and the sofar unmentioned bi spectrum implies a distributed or Cartesian system of expression

        Considering bisexuality and demi sexuality I suspect that attraction is what we are measuring, not just gayness. Perhaps even attraction along two dimensions - romantic and sexual. This has interesting implications considering that gender itself exists as a spectrum with multiple dimensions of its own, at very least expression and identity, perhaps sex should be incorporated too which further complicates matters…

        Nonetheless, I don’t believe that any of this precludes our units of attraction from being discrete… I will concede that it’s probably more likely, if there is some kind of fundamental attraction particle, that it has comparable properties to the photon.

        I’m considering that each of these attraction particles (furthermore referred to as attractons) exists as excitations in the gender/sexuality field. Thanks to wave particle duality we can have a quanta of attraction with continuous possible amounts of attraction associated with each - just like the photon’s variable energy.

          You’re also not accounting for the principle of uncertainty with bi and homo curious and the collapsing of the gay wave function

            It’s the quantum gay that we really have to measure, but I can’t pin its velocity for some reason.
