UK: What do you think made you become a heterosexual? Just one of questions in "Diversity" course
The Daily Mail (U.K.) ^ | September 19, 2010 | Chris Hastings

Posted on 09/19/2010 12:54:50 AM PDT by Stoat

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.'

Do you believe that God “nuked” Sodom?

Yes.

God invented the SSBN about 6,000 years ago, and he used this SSBN to launch a nuke strike on Sodom and Gomorrah from the eastern Mediterranean Sea. God also continues to maintain a wicked air force which he keeps stationed on the other side of the Moon.

Homosexuality is a sin. It is also a form of mental illness and invites disease. If it’s really no “skin off your back”, why are you on this thread?

You're the expert around here; I'm looking to you for direction.

Nope. You aren't. And you appear hostile to the Word. I didn't start the discussion using the Bible. It isn't necessary to even bring religion into a discussion on homosexuality.

I'm just wondering why you, and others like you, have to couch your dislike for homos in terms of God.

I don't. Check my posting history. I don't use the Bible. There's enough ammo against homosexuality without it. The Bible only matters to a believer.

Hemingway's Ghost to DJ MacWoW

God is God. He is perfect does things His way. Not ours.

But you're positive God nuked Sodom and Gomorrah because of all the homos though, right?

**************************

You introduced the word. I thought it was silly, but hey, you're the Bible expert.

Are you saying the Bible lied?

I'm saying that perhaps the Bible employed a bit of hyperbole. Which is not uncommon in the writing trade.

Are you suggesting a society in which the entire male population were (1) gay (2) rapists could've existed for any length of time whatsoever? Put down your Bible for just a moment and reflect on that . . .

. . . Gay rapists, living together in harmony, collecting enough food to sustain a civilization and support families, conducting trade amongst themselves and with other civilizations . . .

So if a woman performs oral sex on a man, or a man performs anal sex on a woman, that is the equivalent of sodomy in the homosexual context, yes?

You can stop snarking as I did not pick up my Bible. stuartcr handed it to me as he’s trying to blame God for homosexuality. As I said, check my posting history. I don’t use the Bible. I use facts on these threads. I even post links.

Exactly. Perhaps those who promote the homosexual agenda attend meetings where each receives a playbook.

The argument interests me.

A person's sexuality is of no concern to me.

The talking points are fairly standard.

Yup. We all meet up at the homo defender's club and we have these wicked intense meetings where we devise all sorts of ways to promote our agenda. You'd think that we'd have learned we can't pull the wool over your eyes by now, but man, somehow, we never learn, and we just keep up to our old tricks.

God

I think you are right. God has designed imprinting in us as well as animals and fishes.

http://www.answers.com/topic/imprinting

At certain times we are very influenced. Homosexual exposure at a young age does imprint the behavior. Homosexuality is a behaviour, it is not a race or gender.
