About
I'm Straight, I'm Gay Survey refers to a snowclone popular on Twitter in which a person uses emoji resembling fill-in-the-blank circles to recreate a survey wherein the options are "I'm straight / I'm gay / I'm X," with the third option generally being a lyric from a song that is "checked off." The meme resembles the I'm a Man / Woman Looking For snowclone, which spread on Twitter around the same time.
Origin
The snowclone began spreading in August of 2017. The earliest variations appeared on August 20th, with the most popular being a tweet from @soberliability[1] that quoted lyrics from the song "Green Light" by Lorde, gaining over 130 retweets and 340.[1]

Spread
The meme saw some use over the course of the following months, but did not start becoming popular until May of 2018. On May 18th, Twitter user @mixofeden made a tweet quoting the song "Black Dress" by K-Pop artist CLC, gaining over 2,000 retweets and 3,300 likes (shown below).

More popular variations began appearing over the course of the next few days, generally using song lyrics as the punchline.
