A recent poster asked for the listing of questions that are normally asked
of gays, turned around and put back to straight friends. Here they are:
==========================================================================
HETEROSEXUAL QUESTIONNAIRE
1. What do you think caused your heterosexuality?
2. When and how did you first decide you were a heterosexual?
3. Is it possible your heterosexuality is just a phase you may
grow out of?
4. Is it possible 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 gay lover?
6. To whom have you disclosed your heterosexual tendencies? How
did they react?
7. Why do you heterosexuals feel compelled to induce others into
your life-style?
8. Why do you insist on flaunting your heterosexuality? Can't
you just be what you are and keep it quiet?
9. Would you want your children to be heterosexual, knowing the
problems they'd face?
10. A disproportionate majority of child molesters are hetero-
sexuals. Do you consider it safe to expose your children to
heterosexual teachers?
11. 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 like you?
14. Could you trust a heterosexual therapist to be objective?
Don't you fear (s)he might be inclined to influence you in
the direction of his/her own leanings?
15. How can you become a whole person if you limit yourself to
compulsive, exclusive heterosexuality, and fail to develop
your natural, healthy homosexual potential?
16. There seem to be very few happy heterosexuals. Techniques
have been developed that enable you to change if you really
want to. Have you considered trying aversion therapy?

Also, saw "Times of Harvey Milk" and "Silent Pioneers" on the local
PBS station (KUAT-TV, Tucson) last night. Quite impressive! Anyone else
have any comments?
