		If you are new to the GLBT (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and 
		Transgender community, you probably did well to get a
		couple of items correct. If you are viewing this from
		outside the metro Chicago area, two of the answers probably
		were complete mysteries. Thus, I have no scale like those
		magazine quizzes provide. Make your own scale for how well
		you should be ranked.
