Sometimes one wishes really hard that they could still be a child and could enjoy the complication free life. In the childhood days, holding hands of the person from same gender was a symbol of close bonding. As soon the hands mature, the outlook changes. We often come across an awkward smile, or a laugh or a question when the Rainbow Sheep bleats about his orientation. Being one of the LBGT was never going to be easy, was an advice we heard from many.
“So why did we choose this life?” Is a question we never understood! The repulsion of section 377 is the biggest desire that has sprouted in every heart of the LGBT community in India. We arguing as sexual minority, we are arguing for our rights. Let’s replace the word
with arguing with battling. If we carefully read the section 377, then we should also find out that it doesn’t attack us as individuals, but
whole country and ones preference of sexual indulgence. It states that engaging in beastly or unnatural acts of physical desire. Apparently those beastly and unnatural methods are the only way with which we can make.love. So the people who are opposing
the LBGT community are not saved from
law either.
One particular friend told me, so just do it behind the door, no one is coming to peep in. True what we do in our beds are our private business. The question if it’s our private life, why does such law exists in first place. But this very law has been used to separate a lesbian couple, killing of a man in name of curing him, disowning the child, calling one immoral. Now
that our methods of intercourse are illegal, our orientation becomes a threat or more like homosexual people will be easily threatened by law officials. We cannot call ourselves minority. If we are Minority, the Majority will use it to levy their demands and prejudice on us. Another funny and dimwit comment was that a gay child is not born innocent like a
hetero-child. But how does a child who had never seen any gay couple or been informed about the existence of such desires become evil with his birth.
People say we are against Bible, Koran, Gita, whatever holy books exist.
What if Eve met Sin before and fell in love with her or what if Adam met David. What if Chitrangada was actually a man with whom Arjun fell in love? Why should religion dominate our acts in lives or beds. Doesn’t the
constitution say we are secular, equal and free? The existence of this basic law is
hindrance to our integrity like law of Sedation. Problem with our constitution is that we have too many laws and too many speakers without
the knowledge of the influence they
have.
One particular speaker we would like to shut up would be Baba Ramdev. We blame westernization for sudden emergence of Homosexuals. But we don’t count the trousers we are wearing, we don’t count the education we are pursuing, we don’t see the companies
we work for. If westernization was the root cause of Homosexuals, then why.is USA still fighting for its marriage.equality rights? We were told we will never get acceptance in society for our orientation. We are also blamed
as a bunch of upper-middle class minds,
who had excluded the people from lower strata. The world is each for her own, so we will fight as individuals and as a community. It’s very easy to crack a joke on an effeminate man or term a tomboy as lesbian or call a
transgender chakka. It’s very hard to live with what we are at times. But why should we care about religion or society if we are fallen beings?
If we are unnatural, we can always.retort back that Heterosexuality is not right but just common. Why is it so.hard to follow the simple words of the great man- To live and let Live? We are not breaking in your house or
injecting a Heterosexual with homosexual genes. Why is it so hard.to accept that we are born of Heterosexual parents, we grew up under their care so it’s not some ailment or a phase. It’s as natural as blood running in
veins. Why is a rapist more acceptable then us?
A rapist gets.seven years.of imprisonment and we get a life imprisonment for loving someone. We are.just plain Individuals who would want
our own personal happy endings. Why is it so hard to stop caring about the sexual orientation in first place? Don’t we have greater problems to.tackle then hampering our peaceful Pillow
Talk?
