SO-OCD can happen to people with any sexual orientation. We cannot choose or change what our sexual orientation is and everyone is on a spectrum so it is best to accept the uncertainty that you can’t know for sure what your orientation is. There can be some evidence though that makes being gay unlikely (having always been attracted to / dated) the opposite sex for example. If you have intrusive thoughts about your sexuality and engage in compulsions, then you have SO-OCD regardless of what your orientation is. You can think of these as two completely separate questions.
