A quiz handed out by this professor made a brilliant point about homophobia

A professor at Syracuse University in New York has sent a pretty strong message about homophobiaā€¦ using this ingenious quiz.

Posted by a student of the professor, the test asks a number of questions commonly asked to queer peopleā€¦ but to their straight classmates.

The Twitter user @sincerelyelise posted a photo of the questions on her account.

They include:

  • What do you think caused your heterosexuality?
  • When did you decide you were a heterosexual?
  • Is it possible that your heterosexuality is just a phase that you may grow out of?
  • Why do you insist on flaunting your heterosexuality? Why canā€™t you just be who you are and keep quiet about it?
  • Why do you heterosexuals feel compelled to seduce others into your lifestyle?
  • Have you considered therapy to change your heterosexual tendencies?

Elise captioned the photo of the questions with: ā€œMy professor isnā€™t taking anyoneā€™s shit.ā€.

Needless to say, those who picked up on the slides handed out by the professor on Twitter went wild for the idea of turning these questions on their head.
