Today i heard two men speaking about gay lifestyle and saying it was disgusting. I couldn't believe my ears. They were sitting outside a steam/sauna relaxation area and said the bible said man should lie with a woman and not with another male. They were pretty ignorant and one told the other that a pansexual meant you are attracted to man, woman or animal. The other was visibly horrified and said his kids ask him what LGTBQ means and he feels that it is now in one's face and that gays are victims and trying to force their agenda. He tells his kids that he does not know as it will impact them negatively. One of the guys spoke about a man who he met a few weeks prior who spoke about his struggles as a gay man and how he was punished by society. The man was in his mid fifties according to the man. They had little to no empathy for his plight.
I went into the sauna where another guy was sitting. They came in after me and ratcheted up the conversation saying George Bush was great to defend the heterosexual lifestyle and not pander to the left liberals as they predicted Hilary would have. They said Trump was against gay lifestyle and they applauded him for it and said that the sexual divide would come to a head in violence eventually. They were from Nigeria and Ghana as the conversation moved then to their respective political challenges. I could not believe this conversation about sexuality in such a public place. The other man in the sauna wore a wedding ring and said nothing. I said nothing. When they left we said nothing to each other but there was a huge elephant in the sauna. I am very uncomfortable and sad.
Would you have said something? I felt humiliated and that it was pointless to enter into an argument. But maybe I was wrong??!
