I came across/dealt with one a couple years ago (although I've forgotten who they were or even looked like). It was at work, but another lady working there found out they were when they offered her one, she said her son already had a Gideon Bible (and in the same color that he was going to give her) - which was probably true since she often remarked about how he was always reading the Bible. Although she never struck me as a religious person -personally. Then again, some of the things she did and the way she acted... maybe she was "religious".
Was it because she smoked that I didn't think she was religious? Or maybe it was just her touchy attitude. And she had a Gay friend that also worked there (that happen to say some things to me that would allude to him being attracted to me -to which I just ignored), yet she did happen to bad-mouth lesbians, and the GM that's over that place just happen to put as her FB status at one time "I'm officially out of the closet." Yet they're not friends on FB. I was the only one there that knew of the GMs "lifestyle". I was like after she said that ("Lesbians are fat and ugly" -and talk about calling the kettle black).
And after that they really never did get along. Yeah. That lady with the Bible loving son and Homosexual friend was quite nasty to the GM.
