Things to ask a heterosexual person.

[lawlst]

What to ask a Heterosexual (straight person):

What do you think caused your heterosexuality?

When and how did you first decide you were heterosexual?

Is it possible that your heterosexuality is a phase you may grow out of?

If you've never had sex with a person of the same gender as yourself, is it possible that all you need is a good gay or lesbian lover?

Is it possible that your heterosexuality stems from a neurotic fear of other of the same sex?

To whom have you disclosed your heterosexual tendencies? How did they react?

Why do you think your heterosexuals feel so compelled to seduce others into their lifestyle?

Why do heterosexuals insist on flaunting their sexuality? Wouldn't it be better to just be who you are and just keep quite about it?

Would you want your children to be heterosexual, knowing the problems they would face?

A disproportionate majority of child molesters are heterosexuals.
Do you use heterosexuals as baby sitters? Do you consider it safe to expose your children to heterosexual teachers?

With all the societal support that heterosexual marriage receives, the divorce rate is astonishing.
Why are there so few stable heterosexual relationships?
Why do heterosexuals place such emphasis on sex?

Considering the menace of overpopulation, how could the human race survive if everyone was heterosexual like you?

Could you trust a heterosexual therapist to be objective? Aren't you afraid that he or she might unconsciously try to influence you in the direction of his or her own learning's?

How can you become a whole person if you limit yourself to compulsive, exclusive, heterosexuality – and completely deny your natural, healthy homosexual potential

There seem to be few happy heterosexuals. Techniques have been developed to help you change if you really want to.
Have you ever considered changing and giving this a try?



Examples of homophobia/heterosexism:

-Looking at a lesbian/gay person and automatically thinking of his or her sexuality, rather then seeing a whole, complex person.

-Failing to be supportive when your LGBT friend is sad about a quarrel or breakup
-Changing your seat at a meeting because a LGBT person sat in the chair next yours
-Wondering when you meet a gay man whether or not he has AIDS.
NOT wondering this about heterosexuals or lesbians
-Thinking you can "spot" one
-Using the term lesbian or fag as an accusation
-Kissing an old friend of the same sex, but being afraid to shake hands with LGBT people
-Thinking if a lesbian or gay person touches you, that it is a sexual advance
-Thinking public displays of affection between heterosexuals are nice and endearing but feeling repulsed or uncomfortable with the same behavior in LGBT couples
-Asking a heterosexual about his or her significant other but not asking LGBT people.

-Thinking that gay people are too outspoken about LGBT rights
-Assuming that everyone you meet is probably heterosexual
-Being outspoken about LGBT rights, but always making they know you are straight
-Thinking that a lesbian is just a woman who could not find a man
-Not interrupting or challenging someone's heterosexist remarks for fear of being identified with gay men or lesbians.

i'm thinking of spreading this around, though it could come-off as "too radical," i'm sick of progressive thoughts and people being forced to conform to "middle-of-the-road" positions, when conservative, traditional assholes are supported whether or not they get emotional about their hopes and dreams.

This is how i know my friends are wicked chill

[lawlst]

oh no, please spread word

[skwidge]

Wow that is amazing... I've never thought to turn it all around like that Although when I came out to a friend I said light heartedly "Well, I accpeted you for being straight didn't I? I don't see what the problem is." He laughed. I was quite proud of myself lol... although... it was pre planned hahaha

[J Schuelke]

wow that is pretty cool, it is something like psychologist would say. Makes me want to borrow these questions to ask some str8 friends.

LOL, this is awesome. It sort of reminds me of Part of the "Coming out Straight" tread. I like it, and its true. Why should we be subject to these questions and not ask them in return.

I saw this in a PFLAG newsletter once and loved it! Thanks for sharing it here!

I assume people are heterosexual until they say otherwise. Does that make me a bad person?

Nope I do the exact same thing. It's pretty much how we've been conditioned by society.

It's kind of logical as well, since most people are heterosexual.

Hah, me too.

But interestingly, when new people find out about my sexuality, they assume all my friends are gay too.
I was talking to this guy about music, and I was like, "You should meet my friend Brian. You guys have practically the same taste in music."
...
"So.... is Brian, like... gay or bi?"
