This is my first time at this particular doctor and I was doing basic intake. He asked what my orientation was.

I did lied because of personal reasons, mainly I don’t want to get discriminated against. But I am used to them asking about my marital status and pregnancy.

Is this something others feel comfortable disclosing, or has this become a routine part of medical intake these days?

**He was kind and explained that it is relevant to my care.
