I went into the common room just now, and these three ladies from Samoa/Tonga who are generally very sweet/generous people were watching a gay couple fight on the show "Brothers and Sisters" ( I don't watch, but just in case you are familiar).
Anyway, the couple was arguing because guy A was leaving to do missionary work somewhere for up to a year and guy B didn't want him to go/wanted to be more important than whoever guy A was building a school for.
While they are fighting, the women are giggling on and off. One woman says "Oh my, this and abortion" (I'm assuming she meant gay people and *gasp* abortion were featured in the show).
When the fight ended and the guys walked into separate rooms- which was a serious moment, the women started laughing. Another one of the women said incredulously "they fight like couples!" OMG RLY?! A gay couple fights like a straight couple?! It's almost as if they love each other and have (dys)functional relationships JUST LIKE STRAIGHT PEOPLE.
Mind blowing people, really.
I'm glad that I don't really share my personal life with any of them. It's hard to deal with people who are really sweet but SO ignorant and closed-minded! ARGH! Sorry about the rant, nobody is around right now and I needed to get that out :-/
