Has anyone asked their therapist their sexual orientation?

I'm bisexual, and I was almost sure my T was some form of LGBT+. But my gaydar was apparently off - I asked him "so you're 100% heterosexual" and he replied "yes" and that was that.

Isn't it like everything else we attach some importance to?
I mean, some people prefer a female T, some a male one.
Some prefer a therapist who's the same age, some prefer older, etc.
I guess because we tend to want somebody we will be able to relate to.

I'm gay. When I came out to my therapist, she actually asked me whether I needed to know her sexual orientation, I guess she wanted me to feel comfortable and like I could open up to her on the subject. I said no too fast but now I would like to know even though I know she's married with a husband and two kids. She's probably straight considering she's made some clueless remarks in the past. Nothing offensive. Just clueless.

I just think knowing a T's sexual orientation can be helpful because there are unique struggles LGBT members face that straight people have no idea about, empathy isn't everything, sometimes you need the actual experience to know what it's really like.

I think most of mine have been 'straight' but it doesn't bother me. I've only seen women. this is the first time I've had a guy. And he's very heterosexual. So I've never had to ask.

Yeah, maybe my lack of interest in a therapist's sexual orientation (as well as anybody else's, to be honest) is due to the fact that I would never be able to relate to any part of it regardless of what it was. And vice versa, too. I am not included in any "we" here.

My T is married, 4 kids...
I asked, I don't remember the specific context, stg about me thinking about experimenting with a same sex partner to see if that would be easier for me.
I don't think I was being rude by asking if he had some experience with that. Yeah, and I got my answer.
