Heterosexual Questionnaire

BuffyBot

I disagree. It's a damned good point. It's not out fault that people feel the need to ask questions they wouldn't do of heterosexual people. However I, and I'm sure others, answer them and will continue to do so in order to break down some peoples intentional and unintentional ignorance. We don't have to like the questions to answer them - therefore how can you say we are perpetuating ignorance?

You aren't making sense. Being verbose doesn't lend your point much weight either.

I would agree with the guru, and other with similiar point of views.
To the person who created the thread....... thanks to heterosexuality you are able to bitch about other peoples sexuality.

I actually wasn't trying to bitch about peoples sexuality. I posted this questionnaire in the GLB section for people who understand what it's like to be asked some of these questions and as a sort of joke. It wasn't meant to be taken as seriously as some of the people in the personal issues forum have taken it. However on the serious side it does reverse the stereotypes around

Yes but, your 'logic' and I use the term loosely here, is that "two wrongs make a right".

Logically false & false is not equal to true.

Indeed.

Unfortunately, sometimes they have to make do, rather than make it right. Would it be better to promote ignorance by not answering the questions, than to dispel it somewhat by answering them? Where would be the logic in simply not addressing questions of people? Would that not perpetuate ignorance?

The white male heterosexual is the ONLY demographic you can politically correctly take the piss out of these days.

ps. you are actually gay.

to all the people who didn't get that this was satire (quite good satire at that) and got pissed of at being asked stupid questions, but didn't get that they are supposed to be stupid questions ... you are IDIOTS

(not naming any names of course ... you know who you are )

It was funny but some of the questions just didnt work

Never looked at the responses from that point of view, I doubt the people responding did either

In fairness, the ones who didnt get frustrated during the course of the questionnaire appeared to have got it. It's up there in the GLB section as well. Much funnier putting it in here though and reversing the questioning for once. Gays do get asked some dumb f*ck questions. The best one (and I've asked it) has got to be "so, how long have you been gay"?

Typedef

"so, how long have you been gay"?

Nature/Nurture.

Obviously you favour nature, but that's not exactly objective proof. One might easily become gay after being hetero or bi sexual for quite some time, it's a possibility, so long as you can't prove the existance of homosexuality from birth.

Kell

Err, I am a tad lost Typedef. Can you clarify what you mean by "You obviously favour nature".

Typedef

Sure.

A debate the rages between Psychologists, Geneticists and Philosophers as to 'what shapes you as a person'.

Nature : Ie, that which you are born with, instincts, genetics and so on.

Nurture: Ie the environment you are brought up in.

Personally when it comes to human behavour I favour nurture for several different reasons.

Kell

Fair enough- I was listening to one of those late night call in shows and someone said that apparantly there is a gene that causes homosexuality. Dont know what anyone else makes of that.

There may be something about it on the GLB Issues forum
