For one of my make up weekly participation's, I used one of the possible questions for chapter 13 paper. The question was to read the heterosexuality questionnaire and then to ask "do you think this helps uncover the heterosexual bias in our society and accurately portrays the stereotypes that people have of gays and lesbians in today's society?". I asked my interviewee to choose one of the questions from the questionnaire and discuss it in relation to the question. She chose the question "Why do you flaunt your heterosexuality? Can't you just be who you are and keep it quiet?". She said she chose this question because it shows how mean and one-sided people are in our society. She said how can people just say that I should keep quiet about how I am. She stated that straight people can walk around holding hands and showing PDA but if you're gay or a lesbian you cannot do that and people think its "wrong". She said that it is sad to think that that is how our society is, that we are so bias. She stated that no one would every say to a straight person that they need to be quiet about their sexuality. She said that our society is so focused on making a man and a women together a priority and the "standard" that it rejects anything else.
