The Heterosexual Questionnaire was created back in 1972 to put heterosexual people in the shoes of a gay person for just a moment. Questions and assumptions made of Gays and Lesbians that are unfair, are reversed and this time asked to the straight people.

This is a fun survey, but also an activist survey. Please repost this to your email list, myspace bulletin, use it in a group setting, have fun with it but also let the point be made.

1. What do you think caused your heterosexuality?

2. When and where did you decide you were a heterosexual?

3. Is it possible this is just a phase and you will out grow it?

4. Is it possible that your sexual orientation has stemmed from a neurotic fear of others of the same sex?

5. Do your parents know you are straight? Do your friends know- how did they react?

6. If you have never slept with a person of the same sex, is it just possible that all you need is a good gay lover?

7. Why do you insist on flaunting your heterosexuality... can’t you just be who you are and keep it quiet?

8. Why do heterosexuals place so much emphasis on sex?

9. Why do heterosexuals try to recruit others into this lifestyle?

10. A disproportionate majority of child molesters are heterosexual... Do you consider it safe to expose children to heterosexual teachers?

11. Just what do men and women do in bed together? How can they truly know how to please each other, being so anatomically different?

12. With all the societal support marriage receives, the divorce rate is spiraling. Why are there so few stable relationships among heterosexuals?

13. How can you become a whole person if you limit yourself to compulsive, exclusive heterosexuality?

14. Considering the menace of overpopulation how could the human race survive if everyone were heterosexual?

15. Could you trust a heterosexual therapist to be objective? Don't you feel that he or she might be inclined to influence you in the direction of his orher leanings?

16. There seem to very few happy heterosexuals. Techniques have been developed that might enable you to change if you really want to.

17. Have you considered trying aversion therapy?

- Martin Rochlin, Ph.D., 1972

"Truth" comes in many forms....

Ya know, despite it being a little bit of a spoof in nature, and despite me all ready being pro-homosexual rights, that is actually quiet thought provoking. Especially the bit about most sex abusers being hetero.
If I was going to be gay though, I'd much rather be a man.

The thing that kind of got me is that they changed things around, but the whole abuse thing to my understanding is mostly a Hetero problem.
I've always thought that lesbians were more excepted than gays.

Hahahahaah, eh no. Not here anyway, certainly not when I was growing up. At school there was no worse insult you could have hurled at you by the popular gits.

But yeah it made me think about how how sexuality isn't a question to most people, they just automatically assume hetero. Honestly I think it would be much healthier if people grow up thinking of themselves as asexual and actually being encouraged to explore for themselves. But the I think people should be brought up neutrally in respect to religion too, and be allowed to decide for themselves.

I think here in general anyway, that lesbians are more excepted than gays. Of course it also depends on what part of the country you happen to be in too. lol.....
When it comes to kids age, yeah I think there is still trouble for most. :(
