‘When did you decide you were a heterosexual?’ The quiz that’s making an excellent point about homophobia.

A student at Syracuse University in New York has shared a quiz created by her professor that makes a very direct point about homophobia.

Twitter user @sincerelyelise posted a screenshot of a slide from a lecture with the caption: “My professor isn’t taking anyone’s shit.”

The ‘quiz’ included questions such as "What do you think caused your heterosexuality?", and "Is it possible that your heterosexuality is just a phase that you may grow out of?"
There were mixed reactions on Twitter, with many praising the professor’s approach while others clearly missed the point.
The post has since gone viral, attracting over 25,000 likes and 15,000 retweets. Give this teacher a raise, tbh.
