It really depends how you ask. I will give two extreme cases.
1. A girl has really intense feelings for another girl and she is stressed out about it because she thinks it might be one-sided. she opens up to you about it and you say "ewwww are you a lesbian???" THAT is rude.
2. Your friend says he finally came out to his family and he is relieved that they accept him. I don't think it's rude to say "What did you come out as? Gay? Bi?" I think thats normal curiousity.
I have had people politely ask me about my sexuality and I have also had people ask me rudely. It's pretty easy to tell the difference and I dont get offended when people are just curious, especially if I mention having a crush on someone of the same sex.
IIN to think that asking one's sexuality is rude?
