Police have come under fire for asking homeowners whether they were gay or bisexual—in a Neighborhood Watch survey.

The questionnaire by West Midlands Police asked residents in Birmingham questions about their sexual orientation so they could help officers “detect crime and antisocial behavior.”

The force claim that by asking whether people were straight, gay or bisexual it would help them decide where certain information about police initiatives should be best sent.

But residents and politicians in the city have accused the police of being too politically correct. …

Will that be a question the IRS will be asking for those who will be audited in the future?

Rather telling that “Are you normal?” is not included as a possible answer in such a question list.................

This is a trick question designed to identify Obama worshipers, those who claim they are gay.

They don’t want another embarrassing situation of a ‘straight’ cop questioning 2 guys and wondering how the gerbils ended up up there.

I would respond with I don’t know.

I hate affirmative action questions.

Different places, different mores. For example, if you're in San Francisco and a guy in leather with a cop's hat on asks you if you're gay...uh...he isn't doing a community affairs survey.

"Here comes a cop / all dressed in green / that's not a cop / a dairy queen..."

OK, you have to be old to remember David Peel and the Lower East Side... :-)

Cops don’t want to get infected. They want to know what kind of pervert they may be facing on a domestic call.
It’s probably as simple as that.

You missed that government memo.... it said that a non-answer was a negative answer on this issue. That was either US state dept or US DoJ

Are you white, Hispanic, North American Indian(as if there is such a thing), Asian, Black or just some whitey eyed jack ash?

I either don’t answer the questions or give ambiguous answers.

I cannot express my disdain for affirmative actionqquestions .

In this day and age I find it insulting to the American condition we even think about asinine subjects and I feel any A-hole who acts on his bigotry ought to be shot where he stands.e

Not just because he takes advantage of another human being or engages in minority commerce but, mostly they are divisive and dilute the momentum of the human condition, which seeks to move forward and embrace a higher ideal of rightness that elevates all.

Am I gay? LOL FU. I don’t kiss and tell and I got a thing about hips, lips and t***ts.....and that thin hairline at the nape of her neck...that bare scent if Chanel #5 and walks along the River Seine, as the sun sets, sipping champagne and eating chocolate covered straberries while we watch the lights come up on the Eiffel tower and the glow of the lights coming off the water fountains of The Palace of Fine Arts.

Then we finish the evening with gin and olives at the Ritz on Place Venom.

Awesome night and we vaguely remember walking through The Tullieries ...

Well, mostly cuz we wuz drunk and having a good time and laughing at everything, especially that Croatian selling roasted chestnuts...

My thing and most gurlz I took to Paris thing...

Kept the one who found Carcassone most interesting . Shoulduh kept her.

TMI????

LOL!!!

Chicks luv my Paris tour and if it weren’t for the Musee Dorsay and one if my favorite portraits ever Henri Regnault Summary Execution . Frckin amazing for its detail and the export of Moslem agitation . Trully, I spend a good twenty minutes studying that portrait each time I see it. Amazing detail and scary for the story it tells of Moslem desire to dominate by force and intimidation.

and intimidation.

Truly a adivistic belief system that isn’t able to evolve and become relevant in the 21st century.

I gotta go to Marseille and become buy weemenz drinkz, here pretty soon.

Still, even though I came out as 100% bonafide a USMale last week, I’m not interested in discussing my escapades , proclivities or details

Gross, Disgusting and plane ole vulgar.

Dear Vendome:
What are/is yer sexual persuasion???

Uhmmmm ...Chicks!!!

Hell, I hit em harder than Laz could ever dream. Maybe it’s a testosterone thing??? Lol

It’s lonely being a British cop. They’re just looking for potential dates

In this country we just ask profession. Interior Designer or someone in Graphic Arts (LOL) means one thing - Welder or Plumber means quite another. For women, it’s easy too - just ask if they played high school or college women’s sports.

I wonder how that question went over among this demographic of "Englishmen" from the West Midlands?
