Currently I've been dating one of the most open minded people I have ever met. Even though He lived most of his life in the middle east he's drastically changed his views and is always challenging his political, and religious views. We can talk about religion, culture and social issues all the time.
Recently I got in a seriously heated debate with him about gay marriage and being born and raised in the Bay Area and San Francisco being my home city, it means a lot to me that consenting adults should be able to love one another regardless religion, race, sexual orientation or any other reason. After 2hrs he said he still wasn't sure but he was already changing his mind after our discussion and would be willing to watch some documentaries about gay rights. He also appreciated how I stuck to how I believe regardless if it goes against social norms or society.
To end the discussion I held him close, looking into his eyes and said
" When one eliminates all prejudiced we are free, and freedom from the judgment is an amazing feeling!"
Though I know for me and him we have differing cultural believes and language barriers I can't help but want to work out theses things with him.
For an intelligent, open minded, kind, caring, affectionate person is difficult to find and anything else is just hurdle and I am willing to jump over them for a wonderful person, like he is. :)
