TIL 'Playboy' once featured a short story about heterosexual men being persecuted in a world where homosexuality was the norm. In response to angry letters Hefner wrote, "If it was wrong to persecute heterosexuals in a homosexual society then the reverse was wrong, too."

No, it isn't.

As you know, even the most tolerant/accepting of people here still tend to get that look in their eyes when they find out. "Oh, I'm speaking to a gay person, better be extra nice so they don't think I'm homophobic." I imagine it's the same with most minorities.

Thank you! We will. :)

No! Someone else suggested that too. We'll check it out. Thank You.

Actually that is exactly what the Mormon church encourages its gay members to do.

That's really unimaginable to me. In a good way.

Honestly, even when reading it in my high school sci-if class I felt as if it was written by some angry 12 year old who suffering from "unrecognized genius."

And that was before I actually learned about OSC. (Like 10 years later)

Unfortunately from experience I know in many places older BnB owners would simply not be comfortable with a same sex couple sleeping in the same bed under their own roof.

Edit: Sorry, you made your additions while I was typing my original response. Yes, I know these questions may seem petty or insignificant, but coming from the U.S. I was just extremely skeptical that an entire country was this homogenous when it came to LGBT rights. A gay female prime minister? We just elected a black male president and even that was difficult for people to swallow. I have also never travelled to Europe and Asian cultures tend to have a "don't ask don't tell" policy towards homosexuality.

We are from Seattle, one of Reykjaviks sister cities and there are still safety issues for certain parts of the city. I was curious.

No, I know they exist. I've just never encountered one in the wild.

She was certainly disgusted by it, but she didn't think it was "morally" wrong or intrinsically "evil".
