The Heterosexual Questionnaire
by Martin Rochlin Ph. D. *
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 you heterosexual tendencies ? How did they react ? |
7. | Why do you heterosexuals feel compelled to seduce 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 would 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 divorcee 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 they might be inclined to influence you in the direction of their own leanings ? |
15. | How can you become a whole person if you limit yourself to compulsive, exclusive heterosexuality, and fail to develop your natural homosexual potential ? |
16. | There seem to be very few happy heterosexuals. Techniques have been developed which might enable you to change if you really want to. Have you considered trying aversion therapy ? |
* The Heterosexual Questionnaire reverses the
questions that are very often asked of lesbians and gay men by non-gay people. By
reversing the questions the heterosexual person can get some intellectual and emotional
insight as to how oppressive and discriminatory a 'straight' frame of reference can be to
gay men and lesbians. The Heterosexual Questionnaire was provided to One-In-Teen by Brian
Miller, Ph.D. and the Los Angles Lesbian and Gay Center for Community Services.
