There was a time when two friends could hug each other and walk on the street happy and gay. Look there goes two best-friends, the world used to say...
Now if two friends (say male) hug each other and walk on the street, even the wife(female) could get a doubt!!
Mrs Obama will have a tough time, protecting her husband not just from other women, but even men, am sure.
Along similar lines, a true incident:
A romanian student got an opportunity to work in a big company. He was to work for few months in the sub-continent. He started working from sub-continent and found the people warm and friendly. And he also noticed something, this made him feel soo scared, that he kept himself away from the rest of the colleagues. If any one approached him, he would find best excuse and quickly escape. A group of colleagues( a friendly desi gang) in his office noticed this behavior, intrigued one day they invited him for a late evening chat. The Romanian did turn up, all scared in front of gang. The friends group could see the Romanian was scared to death. One of them asked the Romanian whats the matter? The Romanian blurted out 'I have a girlfriend. I love her. I am not gay'. The desi gang burst out in laughter. This desi gang with no girls in the group, the eating together, walking together all guy gang in the eyes of Romanian .... were a bunch of homosexuals!! To the Romanian it was impossible to imagine that grown up men could hug each other as friends / brothers. The place he is from the sickness called homosexuality was widespread, and he seemed to have a sane head, and his girlfriend too. A few hours of open candid discussion, and many days of exposure, helped him understand and appreciate. The desi gang had to rehabilitate the Romanian, literally. When he left to Romania, he did give colleagues that friendly hug.
Another sample of this sickness taking extreme is that some have taken a liking for Robots as life partners. Kids in Japan are exposed to robotic teachers. Some kids its reported have developed a liking for the robot teachers. Some might even wish and prefer a Robot spouse, in future!
The lines are being blurred, the disorder is spreading...
May Almighty protect us, our families, kith and kin ... Ameen
