The last official Ruby Sexual Orientation survey, taken on April 1, 
2005, had the following approximate results:

  Male/Heterosexual - 9.4879%
  Male/Homosexual - 8.9483%
  Male/Uncommitted - 7.4686%

  Female/Heterosexual - 6.9456%
  Female/Homosexual - 5.9856%
  Female/Uncommitted - 7.4567%

  Uncommitted/Heterosexual - 3.6785%
  Uncommitted/Homosexual - 5.1189%
  Uncommitted/Uncommitted - 54.9099%

As usual, there were no surprises in this year's results, which we feel 
speak for themselves. We are particularly proud of this year's survey 
results since we got participation from 110% of Ruby programmers.
