Gay Anyone?
Everyone has had a Gay experience in his life, me too, but not exactly an experience for me though. It was Mussorie sometime in 07', me and my bro were just walking down the Mall Road, doing GUY stuff (bird watching) and we did all these things with 'permission' from our elders (trust me on this!). Probably what made our elders attitude change to 'cool with it', was that the hotel owner had once commented, "I have been here since past 40 years, walked down the road innumerable times and i am still single!" But believe me guys, those 200 metres was the only part of Mussorie me and my brother liked!
So, back to the story, me and my bro were walking down the road, checking out stuff; when two dudes holding hands walk past by us. One of them wearing a white jacket, flashes a thumbs up sign and a smile to us. I stood there suddenly, probably my bro did not understand what that was for. I started to explain 'it' to that dude, as he simply walked away without hearing my explanation. It took me two minutes to get a grip on things and well we continued doing what we had come out to do ;)
Meanwhile, i had asked a friend of mine to check my profile on orkut and to tell me if it felt like...u know...GAY! The reason behind this was, i had been receiving a lot of friend requests from HAPPY people, which i would kindly reject. Later, i realised why those request were coming, i had to simply change my answer of Sexual Orientation from No Answer to Straight!Somehow while making the profile, i did not delve too much thought on that subject.
But all this does not mean i am homophobic. Infact i totally support a person to realise what is right for him/her. No, these people are not mentally retarded, they simply cannot help it if they are not attracted to people of opposite sex. They are not SICK. Why would you want to force a guy who is gay to marry a girl, when you know it would ruin two lives not one. It is you who is sick in that case. They are human beings, they have equal rights to select their partner as much as you have.
Those who stick to their favourite point of going against the laws of nature, should take a break. If they think they are such laws that exist, then MAN has broken uncountable number of such laws. I am sure we have enough problems up our sleeves instead of worrying about or deciding for someone else's orientation.
I personally support the Delhi High Court decision, and i hope our leaders and health workers open their minds in time, to see that legalising this will only help in their fight against AIDS and other issues.
Broaden your outlook, dont treat them as outcasts.Labels: Gay rights
