Questions on Sexuality

Have you ever wondered what it felt like to be asked to justify your sexual orientation all the time? For most of us who are heterosexual, it might not be something we have to think about often (if at all). But for a lot of homosexuals, it's a whole different story.

My teacher gave this set of questions for us to answer to somehow get to know what homosexuals have to go through almost every time they "come out" to a new person. If you're heterosexual and you answer these questions, you might find yourself shaking your head because the questions seem silly. Just think, it's only silly because heterosexuality is the default sexual orientation of our society. Imagine what it feels like to have a "non-normal" sexual orientation and have to answer these silly (and sometimes hurtful) questions all the time just to justify your existence.

Food for thought. :-)

. . . . . . . .

1. What do you think caused your heterosexuality?
2. When and how did you decide that you were a heterosexual?
3. Is it possible that your heterosexuality is just a phase that 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 or lesbian lover?
6. To whom have you disclosed your heterosexual tendencies? How did they react?
7. Why do you heterosexuals feel compelled to seduce others into your lifestyle?
8. Why do you insist on flaunting your heterosexuality? Why can' t you just be what you are and keep quiet about it?
9. Would you want your children to be heterosexual knowing the problems that they'd face?
10. A disproportionate majority of child molesters are heterosexual. 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 incline 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?
