The only difference between brilliance and stupidity is, brilliance has it's limits! -Albert Einstein
Take a read at this utter stupidity below.
While at work today, I overheard a little bit of water cooler chitchat. Most of it was harmless, but one conversation caught my attention.
I heard one person mention that she found out her doctor was a lesbian. The man, who seemed shocked, then replied "I would never go to a homosexual doctor."
I was floored. Although I am not a homosexual myself, I know and love many people who are, and this man's phobia totally shocked me. I had to listen in for more. The man proceeded to make two points: First, he clarified and said he wouldn't feel comfortable having a homosexual doctor who was a man, but wouldn't mind a lesbian doctor. He explained that he would constantly think that the doctor would be "checking out his stuff" for other reasons than to "turn and cough." Secondly, he said that he would be afraid of catching "ya know, gay diseases."
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I thought, are we still living in the time when people think they can catch AIDs by touching a victim? Are people still really that naiive?
Then it hit me - yes. Yes, people really are that naiive.
The man continued to defend himself to his female (and pro-gay doctor) co-worker by saying that he didn't care if the man was the best in the field becaus he would be too paranoid about being examined by a man who was also into men. He wouldn't care if this homosexual doctor had a PhD from Yale University, because he'd be too afraid of contracting a disease.
Although I completely disagree with this man's unrational thoughts, I have to agree with him when he said that he was "too concerned with his health to jeopardize it even more." The fact that people are overly concerned with their health sometimes is true - so much, in fact, that one man (and I'm sure many others) would be too uncomfortable with having a gay doctor.
What do you think? Does it matter to you if your doctor is gay or straight? Does your doctors sexual orientation influence how you approach your own health examinations?While at work today, I overheard a little bit of water cooler chitchat.

Bigot : I don't want no gay doctors.
Dr.Paul : And how do you know I'm gay? Why, I could have sworn I left my pink feather boa back home.
Bigot : But you might want to check out my stuff.
Dr.Paul : What stuff?
Bigot : This stuff!
Dr.Paul : That little thing? Oh please.
Bigot : But I might catch gay diseases.
Dr.Paul : Isn't it amazing that an increasing number of women are getting HIV these days? Wonder if gay men are inadvertently fucking them. Oops, I fell into your vagina?
