Town Hall bosses are asking staff to take part in a 'heterosexuality quiz' so they can gain a greater understanding of what it is like to be gay.
The quiz, devised by managers at Buckinghamshire County Council, is part of an equality and diversity course called 'Respecting Sexuality'.
Questions, which are described as a 'twist' on those routinely asked of homosexuals, include 'What do you think caused your heterosexuality?', 'Is it possible your heterosexuality stems from a neurotic fear of others of the same sex?', and 'If you've never slept with a person of the same sex, how do you know you wouldn't prefer it?'
(edit)
The Buckinghamshire council course is just one of a series of publicly funded equality and diversity sessions uncovered in a series of Freedom of Information requests by The Mail on Sunday. Cardiff, Slough and Cheshire West and Cheshire councils have also incorporated quizzes in their sessions. In Slough, employees ask colleagues questions from a specially prepared grid such as 'Can you sing a few lines from a Supremes song?' and 'Do you read The Guardian?' Staff at Cardiff City Council are challenged to name the inventor of the 'great British classic car the Mini', and to identify the symbol used to celebrate the Chinese New Year. (edit) 'To see councils wasting money on such a ludicrous, politically-correct exercise in that environment is disgusting. 'Ensuring that councils don't discriminate doesn't require such insane attempts at a superficial understanding of different communities.'

It was G-d who made me a heterosexual. It’s natural,it’s how children are created,etc.Man and woman fit together like two pieces of a puzzle.
She’s a very attractive woman...I think she also holds a Master’s or a Doctorate degree.Look on IMDB to varify.
G-d did not make people gay,just like He did not make someone an unrepentant adulterer.
Since He knows what we will do, doesn’t God know whether or not someone will choose Jesus?
Parents are not God, they do not know specifics and they can be wrong, right?
I agree, God doesn’t make the choice, but He knows it will happen doesn’t He? God cannot be wrong, can He?
I don’t blame God for anything, I believe though, that through His knowledge of the future, and His inability to be incorrect, He is ultimately responsible for all that happens.
I believe He not only allows, but He knows when/how we will mess up before He creates us. He also knows when bad things will happen to victims, yet He still creates us, knowing that.
Obviously, we believe differently.
G-d would not declare something as an abberation and then create people who’ll engage in such behavior. It’s a sin,just like someone who runs around committing adultery. G-d would not be OK with someone who commits adultery on a regular basis,just like He is not OK with deviant behavior.
That's not the point and you know it. You are trying to blame God for a human failing to make the correct choices. God says "Don't!" and people do. Mom says "No" and kids do. People are disobedient and that is not God's doing.
I don’t blame God for anything, I believe though, that through His knowledge of the future, and His inability to be incorrect, He is ultimately responsible for all that happens.
You are still trying to blame God for man's choices.
Yes, He does.
Unfortunately, they are as serious as a heart attack. Leftists have a long history of distorting the true form of apples and oranges and then equivocating them in a disingenuous manner designed to further their agenda. "Moral relativism" as another example.
This sort of thing commonly occurs in the USA as well, it's just that our 'press' refuses to report it as some UK media outlets will.
Of course, we all, in our Human weakness, make "wrong choices" all the time.
Its a tad more complicated than that, but substantially that is true.
I’ll repeat my last. We believe differently.
Please call it what you wish. I just believe He is responsible for all things. Blame is negative, responsibility is just responsibility.
God isn’t responsible for peoples choices. It’s just easier to blame Him.
Then He does create those that He knows will do bad things, just as He creates their victims. If you believe that God cannot be wrong, then what He knows will happen, will happen, right?
I agree. Since He knows our free will choices before we are born, then why would He create bad people and their victims, when He knows what will happen?
But He does know what those bad choices are going to be and He creates us anyway, right?
You are still blaming God and leaving, Satan, the tempter and father of lies, out of the equation. Not surprising since when caught in sin the first thing Adam did was say :"The woman you put here with me—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it." Even Adam blamed God through Eve.
Stop blaming God for sin. Sin belongs to man. It is man’s choice.
