A CT Survey on Gay Tolerance

[Bridgit-P]

Sexuality Survey

This is a personal project of mine: to find out how tolerant the modern world is of sexuality. The following questions are not meant to put any individual 'on the spot', but merely to see how open-minded or how traditional you guys are. Answer only the questions you feel comfortable answering.

d) Would you say your family is more tolerant of different sexual orientations, or more homophobic?
e) Is there anyone in your family, or among old friends, who is gay/bi/lesbian/trans?
f) If yes, have you ever felt threatened by their sexuality?

4. Opinions/Deeper thinking

b) Do you believe it is something that can be cured, like a disease; a disorder that can’t be cured, but can be slowed down; a genetic imbalance; a choice; or something else?
c) What is your opinion on gay marraige and/or adoption by gay couples?
d) Why do you think there is so much homophobia in the world? (Religion, culture, tradition, health, etc?)

e) Why did you choose take this survey? Uh, it was here.

d) Why do you think there is so much homophobia in the world? (Religion, culture, tradition, health, etc?) It's so highly embedded in our culture that marriage is, "A union between a man and a woman."

c) What is your opinion on gay marraige and/or adoption by gay couples?: As for marriage, I really don't care. Marriage is far too overdramatized in general, if you ask me. As for adoption, I think it should be left to the child. I personally would not enjoy having the stereotypical gay/lesbian parent, but if they don't let it consume their lifestyle, I'd be completely fine with it.

oh hey that was a long answer wasn't it
d) Why do you think there is so much homophobia in the world? (Religion, culture, tradition, health, etc?): People don't like things that are different.

f) If yes, have you ever felt threatened by their sexuality? Not applicable
g) Have you ever questioned your own sexuality? I havent ever had to ask myself if i may be gay, so no

b) If yes, how do they relate to you? (Close friends, acquaintances, family, etc?) They dont
c) Hypothetically, if your best friend came out to you as gay/bi/les/trans, how would you react? If it was a guy friend i would punch them in the face and tell them how stupid they are being, then tell them to go have a talk with the bishop. If it was a girl then i would tell them that they are just confused from their strong hormones and should abolish such thoughts.
d) How do you think your family would react if they found out they had a gay child/sibling? They would probably be very angry
e) Is homophobia present in your school and/or work place? Yes.

4. Opinions/Deeper thinking

a) What would you say the cause of homosexuality is? A need to try something new, get away from conforming.
b) Do you believe it is something that can be cured, like a disease; a disorder that can’t be cured, but can be slowed down; a genetic imbalance; a choice; or something else? I believe its a choice that people make when they are confused about many different things, whenever someone says "i was born gay" i tell them bull**** because no one is born with that kind of set mind
c) What is your opinion on gay marraige and/or adoption by gay couples? I think gays should not have the right to be married, marriage is between a man and a women for the sole purpose of raising a decent family, that sacred bond should not be defiled by some abomination
d) Why do you think there is so much homophobia in the world? (Religion, culture, tradition, health, etc?) Because it is as i said, it is an abomination of the mind and should be shunned, but because people have the right to choose as they please, they are allowed to do go on with such evil practices.
e) Why did you choose take this survey? Because i feel that people should hear the opposing side to the arguement, even though you are all going to think i am a stubborn ignorant person who is not accepting of new ideas

c) What is your opinion on gay marraige and/or adoption by gay couples? It is a stupid idea. I can see why governments accept it but religions accepting it is a total copout and a complete avoidance of true teachings of the Bible
d) Why do you think there is so much homophobia in the world? (Religion, culture, tradition, health, etc?) It's not something natural and therefore isn't tolerated since it's not normal. As time progresses, people will become more and more acceptant of such acts and it will no longer affect people.
e) Why did you choose take this survey? I didn't read many other people's surveys but being homosexual is such a digusting thing. If religions held to their own teachings, it wouldn't exist because people would fear isolation. But once it becomes accepted practice, more and more will ignore it. Sounds dense and cold but that's how I feel.

b) Do you believe it is something that can be cured, like a disease; a disorder that can’t be cured, but can be slowed down; a genetic imbalance; a choice; or something else? That is an imoral question. Homosexuality IS NOT A DISEASE and it is labeled so by society. That is like calling an Asian diseased.

d) Why do you think there is so much homophobia in the world? (Religion, culture, tradition, health, etc?) Christian faith has become so powerful. They decide to look down upon things that are different or "prove a threat" to their faith so they decide to "take things into their own hands" to try and bash the gays/lesbians.
e) Why did you choose take this survey? It helps me thinking back on my situation as a homosexual. Really, it does.
