Andy & Adrian

Are you sick of people threatening to take away your gay license?  Well we are, so we’ve compiled The Official Gay License Test.  If you pass, you can tell your friends that you are in fact a gay and they can’t take it away from you (unless of course, you start sleeping with the opposite sex).

So grab a pen and paper and note your answers.  The pass mark is 80% which means you can only get 10 wrong.  Any more and you’re not a bona-fide homo, just a faker.

Good luck, your time starts now. Share on Facebook
