went to an international boarding school that had a very diverse spectrum of political beliefs

I was in the school's pride club, and my senior year this very charismatic kid, Ken, joined. Ken was an international student

we start our first meeting, and Ken is a vibrant member of the group. but he's saying some very... odd things. he's talking about how gay people are mentally ill and need to be helped, lotsa fun stuff

the club leader very patiently pushes back on him on this, and eventually asks "well it's not like any gay people are here now, right?"

... he didn't come back after that meeting

He must have thought it was a nationalist pride group.
