I have been trying to reconcile what I know should happen and what will happen. I have a friend who is gay. His parents are now pressuring him to marry a girl from their home country to bring over here so she can work for free in their restaurant. They said her parents were going to pay some money for this to happen and they offered my friend and his partner money for this to happen. Seriously?? Setting aside the fraud for the green card....how can my friend condone her being a slave? He posted on facebook about saving a girl from the horrors of trying to find a rich husband. Seriously?? How is marrying a gay man who isn't rich and working for free better? My understanding is their culture doesn't believe in divorce...so this is better for her how? I lost a lot of respect this week and if he does this, I'm not sure I can condone it by eating in their restaurant anymore.
An aside..my other friend, the partner, said hell no to the money. Makes me respect and love him even more.
