Bigotry in Medical School

I've been pretty incapactitated most of the afternoon and evening today because of my visceral reaction to the prejudice expressed through direct and indirect ways in lecture today.
The majority of this toward gay and lesbian populations and how a presenter lecturing on gay and lesbian health issues could be "offensive" to "faith-based" people. We are talking about how someone discussing health issues for a population that could be up to 10% of thier patient population and some people felt that this should not be discussed because they have personal feelings on how homosexuality is wrong. For most of you that know me - you know that I have VERY strong opinions on gay and lesbian issues and so this kind of bigotry arises a fire in me that is so strong that I usually try to choose my words very carefully. Today I had to choose them so carefully that I didn't even speak them. We're talking about a group of people that have approx. 10 years of education each and who still felt that it was "morally right" for them not to want to become educated on specific health concerns of this population. No one could see how awful this was if you paralleled this type of prejudice with prejudice against a particular race or a particular gender. I was absolutely mortified that these are my colleagues that in 2 months will go out into the world (at least the residency world) with these beliefs. Granted these were certainly not the majority of my classmates but it still upset me that this belief was held at all. I was certainly not naive enough to think that all my classmates were "against" homosexuality but now we're talking about medical practice.
This has upset me so much that I have not been able to focus all day, I have felt sick and I feel that I may not be able to go to lectures tomorrow so that I can give myself a break from the outrage and disappointment I felt this morning.
