Here is a note from one of my gay friends:
Tell him that many of your gay friends have had children of their own, whether it be from a former relationship or adoption or any other number of ways and the “breeder” remark is just as offensive to us. If he wants to fit in anywhere in this country, he just needs to be himself. He is not going to have a sign put on his home with a big rainbow on it, saying GAY household, unless of course he puts it there himself.
People in the villages for the most part are kind, considerate and could careless whether someone is gay or not. There is a huge (over 1000 members) gay community here and they are welcoming to all! There are several churches in the community that are open to gay people as well. People are people, that is the bottom line.
