And now you can find out here right here with this very quiz which supposed damnation most accurately speaks to you. Cheers to being scandalous!

    • Same!

      “Between your membership at the co-op, the community garden, and tending to your own plant babies, your hands stay busy! You’d always rather be riding your horse or riding a cute farmhand. Good for you!”

  3. Ahh this was so great! BRB, changing my name to That “Mademoiselle Lesbian” Ottergirl on my birth certificate, even if I’m technically bisexual

    • “I am a lesbian”

      Yes. 100%. I am seen. Been trying to simply be a lesbian for years. Thank you for this validation.

  6. As a literal gay divorcee who got the price of salt, I feel that this quiz was constructed w absolute perfection. ty!

  7. LESBIAN GYM

    also wow very called out for “what are you procrastinating from while taking this quiz?”

  8. Does Girls Out of Hell describe me as a person navigating the world? No.

    Does Girls Out of Hell describe the women I read about or me who intrigue me, live in my head rent free, and continuously pull me in like a moth to flame? Hell yeah!

  9. I GOT DANCE HALL DYKE AND I’M SO PLEASED!

    Just came back from a one person dance event in front of my TV

  11. Took it two times amd changed almost everything (too many good choices) but Mademoiselle Lesbian it is! Merci beaucoup, I’m very pleased.

  13. I was planning to do some light complaining about the lack of a “sweet” option for tea, but “I Am a Lesbian” was just too accurate!

  16. I got Lesbian Sorority. I’m beyond happy. Never read it but lesbians in lingerie playing baseball, fuck yeah!

  18. Mademoiselle Lesbian! Je suis ravie, even though it’s probably rather Madame by now.

  19. My perfect rainy afternoon would be to be reading, with some tea, and some candles, with pauses to watch the rain. Choosing is so very hard!

    Having tea as an option at the café was sorely missed. I opted for a croissant instead and confused the computer into thinking I’m a fancy bitch. Or at least French.

    Anyway: I really enjoy these quizzes :)

  20. Okay, but the most important part (I was Lesbos Beach), where can I find the swimsuit third from the bottom, just above the sun hat?
