"How Do You Know You're Straight?" Don't you think your heterosexuality is just a phase? How can you know unless you've tried a same-sex relationship? When did you know when you were straight? How did your parents react? Straight people molest children, how do you feel about your children going to straight schools? Do you feel abnormal? Did you go to Moomba? the Grand Prix? Football? The Melbourne Show? Do you go to those sleazy straight bars? Are you one of 'them'? How does it work in bed when the bodies are so different? Why do you think this is normal? How did you come out? Your grandmother is a lesbian and she would drop dead if she found out you were straight. Do you watch movies like Sleepless in Seattle? You must listen to Jimmy Barnes. Do you feel discriminated against by gay people? Do you want your children to be heterosexual? Should straight people be allowed to have children? How would your children feel if they found out you were straight? Do you fit the stereotype? Do you eat the same foods? OK, so you're straight, you don't have to dress like it. Don't flaunt it. So you're straight, you don't have to tell everyone about it. Do you like stripshows? Are you one of those table dancers? Do you get straight-bashed? Are you afraid? Are you afraid of heterophobia? Are all your friends straight too? I can't hang out with you anymore. People will think I'm straight. I have to have fashion sense otherwise people will think I'm straight. Was your school supportive of your sexuality? Are any of your teachers straight? Will you ever get married? Are you SURE you WANT to be straight? Do you recruit children? Does that mean you're gonna have children? Do you attend a support group? Maybe you should consider therapy. |
