FACTS OR FABLES?

How about some REAL News, as instead of personal interpretations regarding the "Gay Lobby"

Gloria.TV News on the 13th of June 2013

"Gay Lobby", huh, I remember one time I was at a tutoring lab, and a guy was helping out a young woman that came from Africa, she spoke British English, He was so very helpful and patient with her, and would encourage her constantly not to give up and not to be so hard on herself regarding one of her subjects (I don't remember if it was Calculus or a computer science class), that she was very thankful.

She was so happy that she finally got the concept that was not allowing her to understand the class at all (now this guy was not a tutor but he was respected by the tutors and was allowed to help students when they got their hands full); so she said to him, " you are so GAY", when she said that all the people turned around and looked at them, then one of the Lab's tutor (a female) got close to her and said, "why did you say that to him?"

She replied, "What did I say?", the tutor said, "what you just said to him that he is so GAY", so she said to her, "Yes, I did. What's wrong with it?"

While they were discussing this in low voice (although pretty much everyone could still hear the conversation), the guy said to both, "it is ok", then another tutor approached (a male tutor) and said, you should not say those things here in America because when you call someone gay, you are referring to a homosexual person, and this guy, we know he is not homosexual.

This girl started laughing outloud, she apologized and said, "I'm not laughing at you (referring to the guy helping her out), nor I'm laughing at what I said, but I'm laughing at the way you guys have distorted the meaning of the word gay. I never ever meant it that way, if someone is homosexual we call it that way, or we discreetly say that the person has a sexual deviation or tendency."

Then she stood up and started looking at all of the people's faces who were looking at them (this young African woman, the tutors and the guy) and said out loud, "I'm amazed guys that you are distorting the language, using the word as a derogatory term. That's so wrong, and I'm sorry to say it but it is so wrong."

Everyone in the lab had their attention towards them, so this young woman continued saying,

"I apologize to all of you guys, I had no idea that you here in America use such a wonderful word for something so degrading, and evil" she turned around and look at the guy calling him by his name and said, "from all the people I've met here in the US, you are one of the most kind, patient, intelligent, and supportive, very amiable, so EXCUSE ME, for using the best word to describe it, I always call people like that 'gay', this guy is always happy, and he loves to help out and he is contagious, he encourages, he never gives up, he makes things that are hard, easy; he finds ways to explain things without getting tired of doing it one way or another, he's very joyful, he is a very nice person to be around.

Where I'm coming from it is common to use that word, I call my friends gay, they call me gay and by no means we are referring to the kind of gay you refer. You guys should start giving the words its real meaning, instead of using nice words to describe such acts, you will run out of nice words and soon we will all have to be careful of what we say."

To make the story shorter, the guy, who was truly a very nice and helpful guy, and very cheerful, said to her, "do not worry about it, listen, I do not worry about it, I know what you meant, I know what I am, and I do not care what people think or say, they are teaching you something about this country, that's all, you are right, but do not worry, it is ok with me, probably it will not be ok with some other Americans."

THE MORAL OF THIS ANECDOTE IS, "DON'T GIVE YOUR OWN PERSONAL INTERPRETATION AND START DEGRADING FACTS FOR FABLES"

Thank you and God Bless.
