Two sets of comments, one pertaining to the first; the other to the second. I will focus on the second only. Since if it is the first, then it takes care of itself without further silliness added to it....
#1. I hope that's just tongue in cheek joking.
#2. Because, if it was spoken with seriousness, it's one of the most stupid set of comments I've ever heard.
Why would a HOMOSEXUAL MAN come to YOU, or me, or any other man --- who, PRESUMABLY, is not homosexual but who is married to a woman, as the original comments were hypothetically made --- and "ask" the latter's wife that her husband become a "txiv" or "pojniam" to the SAID HOMOSEXUAL MAN?
There is a reason why we GET AN EDUCATION: so that we could use our brains better, fairer, and more cogently.
True, it is NOT a guarantee that just because someone had a TECHNICAL knowledge in a specialized field of WORK --- deep enough to have a MD or PhD --- that he or she is NECESSARILY broadly intelligent, logical, fair-minded, or tolerant.
But it is also equally true that, broadly speaking --- that on AVERAGE --- we DO EXPECT the more or better educated to THINK and think more soundly before they say things.
So, again, if the comments were spoken in jest, then I do stand corrected in these harsh words; otherwise, let my observations stand: the Hmong have always been a MINORITY and we have always been given the shorter end of the stick, have always received, from our view, unfair judgment and/or treatment.
We shouldn't, then, turn around and treat other minorities --- whether it pertains to sexual orientation, race, or religious beliefs --- like how other majorities have treated us throughout history.
Alas, the "niamyau" issue (joking or not)... it's a bit too primitive for me to comment on... so these few words should suffice...
