I also don't like when one person who 's opinion deviates from the norm is summarily bashed so as to appear "weird", out of touch, with the same old love it or leave it attitude.
People are different for a reason, they are individuals. If someone has the resources to by a ticket into paradise they are entitled to live their life in any way they choose without harassment as long as they do no harm to others.

This is like a college campus. We're all about the same age, we all can use the same amenities and separate checks is the norm. That's huge. There's not a lot of diversity here. The speedo doesn't matter to me. Like you said, he's not hurting anyone. For all I know it could have been a made up story to lighten the conversation.
There's a lot conversations out there about people who are not like us. They are on tv and in the news all the time and we are constantly reminded that we ought to be afraid. I'd rather talk about speedos.
