I never saw the original questionnaire -- just this response to it.  But  
from it, I presume that the point was this: replace "heterosexual" with  
"homosexual" in those questions, and you've got questions that gays are  
asked on a regular basis.

Well, Darkmoore... hmmmmm... I wouldn't put that to a vote.  :-)
Just kidding.  I agree with you 110%.

Again, complete and total agreement with you, Darkmoore.

The media has a remarkable tendency to only publicize the cases of child  
molestation in which men are molesting boys.  Especially those cases in  
the priesthood.  Darkmoore, you're correct that men who molest boys are  
quite often heterosexual.  I will just make the blanket statement that the  
fact that someone is gay does not make him more likely to be a child  
molester.

Darkmoore, here's where I find slight fault with your post.  Your  
facetious tone (at least I'm assuming you were being facetious) will  
probably go unnoticed and some readers will think that you are implying  
that heterosexuals are inferior.  When in fact no sexual orientation is,  
in and of itself, inferior.

Again, I hope you were being facetious.  And I hope you don't honestly  
think that _all_ heterosexuals are trying to dominate or destroy _all_  
homosexuals.  Making assumptions toward heterosexuals _or_ homosexuals can  
lead only to misunderstandings and useless argument.  All in all,  
Darkmoore, an excellent response to a questionnaire reply I found a lot of  
fault with.  KUTGW!!!
