Small Town Gossip

Tweet

I live near a small community here in northern Ontario. I went into town today to do a bit of shopping and found out I was at the center of the gossip circle. As I wrote in a previous discussion my partner and I moved into the house just a few months ago. We took in two roomates to help out with expenses. It has worked out very well so far. As I was standing at the cash with my hubby we overheard another couple behind us talking about the new people in town and how they had taken a man into their home as a boarder who prefered other men. Hubby and I just smiled at each other and the cashier who does know us winked. The couple behind us continued with the conversation loud enough for everyone to hear. They saw my partner looking at them and brought him into the conversation. With a very serious look on his face, he told them there were a few men in town like this. With shocked looks they asked him who they were. He leaned over very discreetly and said, "Kiss me and I'll tell you." The looks on their faces were priceless. In a matter of seconds they realized they had been had and dropped the topic. I thought the cashier was going to bust a gut. My question is, Would you rent to a man or woman who's preferences were different from your own? I don't worry about the color of a persons skin or what their personal preferences are. We are all equal. I think it's time for everyone to put away preconceived ideas of others and just get on with living.
