Faking it?

I don't know if anyone else saw this or not, but at about 6:10 this evening, someone had changed the tag line on the LGBT lunch today to "The effects of being a fag." The tagline has been changed back. Now, I don't know if this was an MSI or otherwise, but I do know that it is not only RUDE but also incredibly disrespectful.

Is that person faking it? Because so far, I have been impressed by the openness and empathy shown by our class as a whole.

I think most of us would agree that as physicians, we will encounter people of all races, sexual orientations, ethnicities, ages, etc. Part of the choice of entering this career should have included an oath to treat all people regardless of their demographic information.

If your beliefs go against someone else's sexual orientation, fine. You are entitled to those beliefs.

However, it is completely and totally inappropriate and immature to mock an event that someone else has organized to increase caring and awareness about an issue important to ALL of us. Whoever you are, you should be ashamed.
