Total shock at such blatant bigotry

[eilen]

Was at a friend of my husband's home yesterday. Got left behind with the wife (grrrrr). She felt perfectly fine letting me know she was changing her doctor because she saw the lady in Target with her girlfriend and their baby. "I just can't support that." She said. She kept looking at me for confirmation/support. I said-- did she not perform her job well? What does her personal life have to do with the professional job she did for you and your husband? She said that the doctor performed fine, she just didn't think she could feel comfortable knowing she was "you know."

I was in shock. I asked her "is this a generational thing?' (Inferring maybe she was old and immersed in old prejudices). Later when discussing Mormons (she spent some time in Utah), I stated I felt those cult Mormons were perverts marrying 14 year old girls to 50 year old men and she then drew a correlation to her Dr-- I was like--"Do you seriously believe there is a correlation between the relationship of two consenting adults and child rape?" She backed down. Hours of my life are now gone that I can never recover having to keep this smug controlling bitch company.

She is very involved in her Methodist church and is about 5 years younger than my mother. Are Methodists as a rule so bigoted?

I told my husband when he came back and got in the car that I am never available to do anything with that couple. He can go ahead and hang out with his friend on his own, I'm not available for couples activities. I already have a mother in law who is a bat-shit crazy republican bigoted dittohead that I have to put up with, I don't need an honorary one.
