This time, it's not me working to fight ignorance, though.
For my Alternative Spring Break, we were building houses for a few days for new, low-income immigrant families.
I am inside putting doors on in a house with a couple of other members of my ASB, blasting my iPhone and speakers as usual. John is outside constructing the framework of the house next door with another member of our ASB and an immigrant worker. The dialogue is paraphrased by me as best as I can remember from John relating this story.
Worker: What is pop music?
John: Kind of like girly music.
Worker: Oh, so he must be gay then.
John: I dunno, that's not my place to say...
Worker: Well if he's gay, he should go to jail... gay people love it in jail.
John: ...well, would you want to be forced to have sex with an old, ugly woman every day?
Worker: No...
John: So likewise, gay people don't love being raped either.
Props to John for fighting for the gay community. =)
A little chilling that this was said about me... but I guess I am blessed that this is the most homophobic anyone has ever been to me.
