Answer to Question 1

All your life, from the time you were a toddler, you were presented with a single model of sexual life: You were expected to be attracted to the other sex, to go on dates, and eventually to marry. No other scenario was seriously considered; if you are heterosexual, you probably have never even reflected on how powerfully this presumption of heterosexuality (Herdt, 1989) was transmitted by your parents, your friends, television and movies, newspapers and magazines, even the government. Advertisements on television and in magazines always show heterosexual couples; your friends probably played house, doctor, or spin the bottle, assuming everyone was attracted to the other sex; your grade school, parties, and social activities were organized around this presumption of heterosexuality.

Answer to Question 2

True
