Heterosexual Questionnaire:

This questionnaire reverses the questions that are often asked of gays and lesbians by heterosexuals. By trying to answer this kind of question, one can gain some insight into how oppressive and discriminatory a "straight" frame of reference can be to lesbians and gays.

1. What do you think caused your heterosexuality?
   
2. When and how did you first decide you were heterosexual?
   
3. Is it possible that your heterosexuality is just a phase you may grow out of?
   
4. Is it possible that your heterosexuality stems from a neurotic fear of others of the same sex?
   
5. If you've never slept with a person of the same sex, is it possible that all you need is a good lesbian/gay lover?
   
6. To whom have you disclosed your heterosexual tendencies?
   
7. Why do you insist on flaunting your heterosexuality? Can't you just be who you are and keep it quiet?
   
8. Why do you heterosexuals feel compelled to seduce others into your lifestyle?
   
9. Would you want your children to be heterosexual, knowing all the problems they would face?
   
10. A disproportionate majority of child molesters are heterosexuals. Do you consider it safe to expose your children to heterosexual teachers?
    
11. Even with all the societal support marriage receives, the divorce rate is spiraling. Why are there so few stable relationships among heterosexuals?
    
12. Why do heterosexuals place so much emphasis on sex?
    
13. Considering the menace of overpopulation, how could the human race survive if everyone were heterosexual?
    
14. Could you trust a heterosexual therapist to be objective? Don't you fear that the therapist might be inclined to influence you in the direction of her/his own learning?
    
15. How can you become a whole person if you limit yourself to compulsive, exclusive heterosexuality and fail to develop your natural, healthy, heterosexual potential?
    
16. There seem to be very few happy heterosexuals. Techniques have been developed that might enable you to change your sexuality if you really want to. Have you ever considered aversion therapy?
