- 25 questions for your heterosexual friends - posted without permission
- originally by Martin Rochin, Ph.D.
-
- 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 that your heterosexuality stems from a neurotic fear
- of other of the same sex?
-
- 5. Isn't it possible that all you need is a good gay lover?
-
- 6. Heterosexuals have histories of failure in gay relationships. Do you
- think you may have turned to heterosexuality in fear of rejection?
-
- 7. If you've never slept with a person of the same sex, how do you know
- you wouldn't prefer it?
-
- 8. If your heterosexuality is normal, why are a disproportionate number
- of mental patients heterosexual?
-
- 9. With whom have you discussed your heterosexual tendencies? How did
- they react?
-
- 10. Your heterosexuality doesn't offend me as long as you don't try to
- force it on me. Why do people feel compelled to seduce others into your
- sexual orientation?
-
- 11. If you choose to nurture children, would you want them to be
- heterosexual, knowing the problems they would face?
-
- 12. The great majority of child molesters are heterosexuals. Do you
- consider it safe to expose your children to heterosexual teachers?
-
- 13. Why do you insist on being so obvious, and making a public spectacle
- of your heterosexuality? Can't you just be what you are and keep it
- quiet?
-
- 14. How can you ever hope to become whole person if you limit yourself
- to a compulsive, exclusive heterosexual object choice, and remain
- unwilling to explore and develop your normal, natural, God-given
- homosexual potential?
-
- 15. Heterosexuals are noted for assigning themselves and each other to
- narrowly restricted sex roles. Why do you cling to such unhealthy
- role-playing?
-
- 16. How can you enjoy a fully satisfying sexual experience or deep
- emotional rapport with a person of the opposite sex, when the obvious
- physical, biological, and tempermental differences between you are so
- vast? How can a man understand what pleases a woman sexually, or
- vise-versa?
-
- 17. Why do heterosexuals place so much emphasis on sex?
-
- 18. With all the societal support marriage receives, the divorce rate is
- spiralling. Why are there so few stable relationships among
- heterosexuals?
-
- 19. How could the human race survive if everyone were heterosexual like
- you, considering the menace of overpopulation?
-
- 20. There seem to be very few happy heterosexuals. Techniques have been
- developed with which you might be able to change if you want to. Have
- you ever tried therapy?
-
- 21. A disproportionate number of criminals, welfare recipients, and
- other irresponsible or anti-social types are heterosexual. Why would
- you want to hire a heterosexual for a responsible position?
-
- 22. Do heterosexuals hate and/or distrust other of their own sex?
- Is that what makes them heterosexual?
-
- 23. Why are heterosexuals so promiscuous?
-
- 24. Why do you make a point of attributing heterosexuality to famous
- people? Is it to justify your own heterosexuality?
-
- 25. Could you really trust a heterosexual therapist/counselor to be
- objective and unbiased? Don't you fear that s/he might be inclined to
- influence you in the direction of his/her own leanings?
-
