Hey guys, just passing this on in case anyone is interested

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for people to participate in an online questionnaire for my PhD thesis that is examining the development of gender and sexuality.

The online questionnaire can be found at:

http://www.queerdevelopment.com *

The questionnaire is open to anybody (queer or otherwise). It consists of mostly multiple-choice questions and takes about 25-50 minutes to complete. More information about my project can also be found by going to the above link.

Thank you, your help is greatly appreciated!

* "Queer" is a reclaimed word that represents sexual and gender diversity. I acknowledge that it is not a term that all people identify with, and it's not the preferred term for everybody.

Thanks for passing this along. It is an interesting survey.

Ive done the survey and I am actually interested in seeing the results when they are published

[NZNeep]

I will keep an eye out for them

I was intrigued by the sibling questions. My twin sister is queer.

Darn, I don't know how I missed reading this post the first time around. This is very encouraging, and maybe someday very soon we will join other nations who see that sexual preference is not an issue, individuals in the military can still get the job done, and do it well - Pres Bus:"Her airmanship and courage directly contributed to the successful accomplishment of important missions under extremely hazardous conditions." Now does that sound like someone who is bad for morale and endangering others around them?
Thanks (belatedly) for posting this here!

Nashville suprised me... the South's usually filled with conservative hicks, and i do mean that in the most affectionate way Cardiff on the other hand is not that big of a suprise... anybody who watches Torchwood would understand why

My sister just came out to my mum, then handed me the phone so I had to talk her through it. My sister isn't the most serious person, so my mum was pretty sure she was just joking. Uh, no.

Uh oh...

[NZNeep]

Uh oh...

Hehe... it was like:

"You've seen her Jodie Foster and Sandra Bullock posters right?"

"Yeah, but you have those too. Not to mention all the Amanda Tapping..."

"Gah! Yeah, because they're awesome. Her posters are just one of the many hints... you know the necklace she hides from you? The big poster of 'the kiss'?"

"Is she just messing with me?"

"Guh."

ah geez Neep... that's both extremely funny and quite sad

you're poor mother...hahaha...I like the idea of there being someone on hand to 'talk her through it' lol

FFLAG need to offer that service.

"Hi Mum/Dad/Other significant family or non family member, I'm gay, here's David on the phone who will talk you through it."

Heh, I never 'came out' to my youngest brother...I was just gay around him while he was young so he never assumed otherwise.

Your conversation does remind me of the 'ten reasons you know your son/daughter is gay lists'.
