That is so 'gay' !

It was three years ago, my sister and I were in the MAC cosmetic store in City Centre and we were looking at the new collection of eye shadows, lipsticks, foundations and bronzers. We were swimming in a sea of makeup and loving the swim!


The store wasn't filled, it was just us and another girl. The man working in the store has become familiar with our faces, we were proud regulars. We rummaged through the products when we noticed a peculiar scene. A quite handsome man in a thobe stood by the door of the store and waved at the salesperson. The salesperson responded by walking to the cashier desk, taking a mac bag filled with makeup and giving him the bag. The man gave him money and chatted with the salesperson for a while and left.
We were surprised by what had happened in front of us.

After seeing that scene, the man walked away into the busy corridors of the mall and the salesperson came back to help us. My sister and I couldn't help but ask about what we just saw and when the very feminine (to say the least) salesperson replied he said "he's a friend of mine, too shy to buy makeup so publicly!" He went on shocking us by saying "he's one of hundreds. Most of our sales come from males."

The issue of homosexuality at times could be 'medical' but most times it's just psychological. The reasons are countless, it could be that the man was raised by women and had no male role model around him or was abused as a child, the list goes on.. However, no one can deny that in recent years the number of homosexuals has increased drastically and sadly to say in both sexes, men and women. It saddens me to see how some people 'accept' the idea of homosexuality between the two genders. In terms of females, society has accepted 'lesbians' with open arms. "A party is not complete without it's set of 'lesbians' " a friend commented once.  They are everywhere; schools, parties, malls, universities. They are our friends, friends of friends, relatives and so on. And most of these homosexuals, men and women, are married.




...And last summer in vacation I went to a MAC store (of course!) and I saw the very same salesperson. He recognized me at once and we chatted for a while. He said he missed Qatar like crazy and that he had so many Qatari boyfriends and they were so nice to him. They spoiled him he said. After those words, I just smiled and said that it was getting late and I had to go. I didn't seem that uncomfortable to him, but I truly was. He seemed so confident with his homosexuality. While, each word he said made me more disgusted by that segment of our society. They spoiled him? boyfriend(s) with an s? How many boyfriend were there?


This is just one story out of hundreds that I have either seen or heard. Most are not appropriate enough to even publish! And as the years continue I see the problem growing more and more and people are just simply accepting it. What do you guys think, what are some solutions for such a problem?
