Strangely Canada is the only country I travelled to from Europe where I was verbally asked in their airport border control: if I was Mormon, as not, what my religion was, and if I was gay. Not the tolerant country I always heard about.
I live in Canada and I've never heard of this happening. Did they just straight up ask you this at customs?
Yes, he was the police admission controller in the airport. The one who decides if you can access it not the country. I was 21yo. I dislike people don't believing me but that supports the fact that those questions were as inappropriated as I always thought.
I don't believe you.
Is up to you to deny this reality I can do nothing else then tell what happened to me.
At least make the lie believable
I don't lie but you won't believe what you don't want to. Therefore, bye.
You were getting hit on by a gay ex-Mormon. He was awkward. He wants you to know he's sorry he made you uncomfortable.
What? That's definitely an exception.
This was my awkward episode in Canada as I expected the country to be open minded and tolerant.
