The Bridegroom


This article was very interesting to me because it displayed how the tolerance of homosexuality has chanced throughout time.  In the story, the officials think that homosexuality is equivalent to syphilis.  They lacked understanding and because of their ignorance they mistreated the men who were apart of this “men’s club”.  It was sad how Boawen said that he was only there for emotional reasons, but admitted to wanting a more sexual relationship with one of the men.  I never thought about how for homosexual men before the level of acceptance for this lifestyle rose.  It seemed to me that Beina and Boawen’s mother were the only supportive ones.
