Homosexuals, Homophobics and the Current Situation
There has been a lot of progress in terms of upliftment and rights of the LGBTQ community in recent years. All over the world, they are being emancipated from not being able to live as they want, from not being able to express themselves and their true identity. The matter is not subjective but there is still significant opposition to the idea of letting people marry or love as non-conventional couples. What are the arguments of both of these sides you may ask?
On one hand we have those infected with the “Gay disease” and anyone stupid enough to support such vermin. They want LGBTQs have the same rights as other humans, be able to marry and love freely, and not be discriminated against. How dare they? Who in their right minds would give ‘them’ actual human rights? They aren’t humans. There’s nothing human in their behaviour! Even if Homo sapiens and Homo-Sexual may suggest the contrary. Who needs science anyway? Not the contemporary world apparently.
On the other hand, we have people, mostly blind of the book, blessed by God and the only ones worthy enough to interpret what god says. According to them, God did not make people “queers” by birth and hence LGBTQs should be customary to long lasting culture. In their words, they just want to rid the land of this disease and heal the people under the shackles of this widespread disease. The most effective way is to bash them with a big giant book of your nearest favorite religious teachings. The biggest opposition they have is to ‘their’ marriages. We can’t let the vermin breed, who knows what kind of monsters they will conceive? The devil’s sons all of them! It’s too risky to let them near kids or adopt them. Now that the world is being more “tolerant,” whatever that means, we can’t kill ‘them’ on a spit-roast publicly like before. How will we teach our children to do the same with them? On a side note, I am not using the word gay because it is seen as too pejorative by the community whose argument I am displaying.
Now the government’s side on this is that “we really don’t want to lose votes from any side so we’re just gonna be as slow as possible in any implementation of laws.” Of course, you can’t blame them, in a developing country of over a billion plus, our politicians have a lot more important work to do like drinking chai, visiting Astrologers and taking the odd trip to Bangkok all while turning a blind eye to all the hate the LGBTQ community gets for no apparent reason in the Indian context. All the more reason why we don’t have something such as an “anti-discrimination law” because how can we legally force Indians not to discriminate? Its absurd, unthinkable even! We even stopped a bill on transgender rights from even coming into discussion! It’ll make half of the sitting MPs very uncomfortable of course and they truly do matter more than the common homosexual.
Satire aside, it really is a problem in the world and in our country on how homosexuals are treated. Just the fact that it needs to be written that homosexuals deserve to be treated as humans too with respect, individuality and franchise itself says a lot about human society. The progress has been slow, in the implementation of laws and most definitely in the changing of mindset of the people. It is the acceptance of the people and the changing of their mindset is what really matters because laws mean nothing without the people’s acceptance to follow them. After reading both the sides and the supposedly neutral side, but we all know which side they are on (p.s.- it’s the votes), I think we can make up our minds on what we side with, morality or repression. I have made my mind and I can be sure you have made yours’ too.
