    Didn't you know? Vietnamese people aren't gay.

    So I went out with an old friend of mine tonight for a few beers and to shoot some pool and he brought his younger brother along. When I say younger I mean WAAAAAYYYYY yonger; as in 12 years younger but the pool hall let him in as long as he didn't try to drink any beer. Any way my friend's brother is a senior in high school and he happens to be gay. Recently he came out to his parents and both of them are in a state of denial about it. They told the poor kid that there is absolutely no possibility that he is gay because "Vietnamese people aren't gay; only Whites and Blacks are gay". Their mother is Catholic and their father Buddhist but their mother has been pushing my friend's brother to go to church and pray to god to rid him of his "confusion". To his credit my friend seems to have accepted his brother's gayness though he kept making jokes that since his younger brother is gay (and so won't have kids) that now their mother is going to really be after him to get married and have babies.

    It's hard to believe that in the 21st century some people still believe being gay is some how something people need to be "cured" of or that gayness doesn't happen to certain ethnic groups. Just thought I'd share.

    Its still fairly common even in so-called developed countries...like Wales. I've heard that among the Welsh-as-a-first-language communities, there is the view that being gay is an "English problem".
    Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.
    -Richard Dawkins

          Welsh language communiites are just a little bit insular so its not that surprising.

          Don't they all go the "chapel" aswell

            True, the "Welsh problem" is that related to sheep.

                    going back further, amongst sailors it was always considered 'the english vice.'

                      But he's the only gay in the village, so it's almost correct.

                          Except, at the risk of a PHd, the comedy of the 'only gay in the village' is that he is not the only gay in the village...
