I saw this in an LJ group for gays in seattle and thought it was awesome
Heterosexual Questionaaire
1. What do you think caused your heterosexuality?
2. When and how did you first decide you were a heterosexual?
3. Is it possible your heterosexuality is just a phase you may grow out of?
4. Would you want your children to be heterosexual, knowing the problems they'd face?
5. Why do you insist on flaunting your heterosexuality? Can't you just be what you are and keep it quiet?
6. A disproportionate majority of child molesters are heterosexuals. Do you consider it safe to expose your children to heterosexual teachers?
7. I know another heterosexual. Would you like to meet him?
8. I feel nervous around heterosexuals. I knew a woman once who had one come on to her. Why do you people have to come on to everyone you meet? If you come on to me I will deck you.
9. I don't mind heterosexuals. I just don't want to see them holding hands and stuff. Why do you have to shove it in everybody's face?
10. Why do you heterosexuals talk about your marriages all the time? What makes you think everyone is interested in your sex life?

and more to ponder...Heteroprivilege
1. When my parents come for a visit, I do not have to hide every trace of my marriage and introduce my husband as my roommate.
2. In my everyday interactions, I never agonize about whether I can afford the risks of coming out as a heterosexual.
3. I can talk about the romantic get-away my husband and I are planning for our anniversary and expect nods, winks, and smiles. I have never been accused of being "disgusting," of flaunting my sexuality, or of being obsessed with sex for sharing this.
4. I have never been accused of hating women because I am married to a man.
5. When questioned about my family or events of the weekend, I do not have to think of creative ways to talk about my husband without ever referring to his gender.
6. I've never been asked if I am heterosexual because I have had a bad homosexual experience.
7. When I sent out wedding announcements I didn't fear I would lose my oldest and dearest friends.
8. People do not question whether my sexual orientation is biological or environmental.
9. My parents are not questioned or attacked for raising me incorrectly.
10. Parents do not worry about me trying to get their children to turn "straight".
