I dont know about you guys, but i personally have been noticing a trend of controversial issues in the press, media etc. It's even a hot topic in schools. Maybe it's cuz im directly affected by some of those controversial issues.
Read about the whole discrimintaion on gays? somehow it just seems cruel to me how homosexuals are treated. What would YOU do if your best friend said he/she was gay? Or your older brother who has always been your role model? Would you diss them too? Are you gonna ostracise them and throw heaps of insult at them and mock them each day they wake up and terrorise them? I'm guessing not, because they are people who mean something to you. Likewise gays out there are someone else's brother, best friend, mentor, role model. Sure they may not be that to you, but think for a sec, what if everyone said that about YOUR best friend? Don't forget, we're all human beings too. I sincerely hope the discrimination will stop, because it hurts me to see people get tormented out there plainly cuz of the fact that they are homosexuals. You can't catch homosexuality, so why run from them? Why rid them from your life when they are as useful as any other straight hetrosexual out there?
How would one feel once he or she discovers that they're homo? I know for certain a part of them will feel troubled at the thought of social status. They'd just make more enemies than they already have. Most are forced to hide 'in the closet' and lead otherwise 'straight' lives. Education and the society tells us to be special, to be unique so that our creative minds can be put to good use by the society. How so if one has to hide his/her sexual orientation? Why society is so closed towards gays is beyond me. My personal friends tell me of how they HATE gays and how much they wish they weren't. Sometimes it just pisses me off. It's like saying, "i hate him cuz he's a guy" - makes no sense!
in case you were wondering, this post is not cuz im out here to declare that i've turned gay or anything (though i wish i was so that i had the high self-esteem an open gay has) but plainly cuz i read an article about gay films and documentaries like this one about Gay Muslims being banned here. "Based on justice and equality" - the pledge says. I just felt offended i guess. So what if they are gay?
for all those of you who are gays out there, be proud! you are one of those who are able to be different; willingly or not. the world may shun you, but as long as you dont shun urself, you will make a big difference in your life. stand tall because you are not alone! you most certainly have my support!~
