It was quite a shock to read this TBH. But then I guess I was fortunate to travel in my early 20s. What does Muslim actually mean, anyway. What does Gay actually mean? People are just people..
I don't know if you've come across this fellow - Derek Sivers - https://www.dereksivers.org/ (he is here on S/Stack but I don't seem to be able to copy the link to his page).
He questions beliefs, loves a different point of view and just a really interesting bloke. You might like him.
Great article. Getting to know others who are different from you breaks down those stereotypes and narratives that have been fed to you by others. As Mark Twain famously said, “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts.”
