First of all, i dont see homosexual as a social problem that requires swift respond from the very-busy-government, further more, it brings no harm to the societies. Thus, at this critical economic turmoil, i hope that the government to focus on economic development and more relevant issues .
HOMOSEXUAL
Allow me to voice my opinion according to my subjective priority chronology. If someone ought to be blame for homosexual, i will post the question to the all mighty creator. The God had created man in way they ought to be. If liking a person from the same kind, thats god's will.
Many accused that being a homosexual is optional. Sir, and Madam, i beg to differ, because they were born in this way . As soon as they know what is "relationship" and acknowledge what is "fall in love" , they will realize their extraordinary (more proper - ordinary) sexual orientation.
"The longstanding consensus of the behavioral and social sciences and the health and mental health professions is that homosexuality is a normal and positive variation in human sexual orientation"
When we provide love and care for orphans, when we are talking about provide as much assistance as we could for those who were born handicapped, It's utterly unfair to pass a law to punish our born homosexual friends. Fundamental reason being, they were just being themselves, as much as a heterosexual boy who fall in loves in girl.
I had interviewed a homo friend recently. I asked him a simple question
" How do you feel when you are imagining having sex with a women"
His reply was clear
"Zee How, dont even mention about sex, the fact that imagining their naked bodies is disgusting enough to make some of our kind feel uncomfortable"
Fair enough. My simple inference was that, forcing them to be like us was nothing more than forcing us to be like them. For a better understanding, those heterosexual person who is strongly against the idea of homosexual-ism, please kiss , or have sex with another person of your kind. If its acceptable for you, i will then rest my case.
The old wise man once said - I have asked doctors this, that you are genetically born a homosexual -- because that's the nature of the genetic random transmission of genes -- you can't help it. So why should we criminalize it?
My dear Lee Kuan Yew had openly condoned , or accepted that homosexuals are indeed on of an ordinary way of lifestyle. Many had enlighten that conservative country like the United Kingdom had openly recognized homosexual as part of their society.
RELIGIOUS CONTEXT
Of course, we respect your believe. Be it Christian, Muslim or Buddhist, you may enjoy the freedom of religion by practicing whatever your religion instructed. My humble opinion is- keep it to yourself.
Being a christian myself, i acknowledge that Abrahamic sect banned homosexual-ism. For a christ believer, some went on to the extend of persecution. Bear in mind, my gift from Jesus christ is Grace and Love, not law. Jehovah PUNISHED people in the past before Jesus Christ. He drowned the sinner in a great flood during Noah's time, and Moses sentenced a few hebrew to DEATH for praying to idol.
What Christ had offered? those without sin cast the first stone. remember? We are taught to embrace Love. Love your enemy, thats what my god had told me. How many of us, self proclaimed christian who actually Love our enemy? Love is not just an absent of hatress, but a positive feeling towards another. I dont hate my enemy does not mean i love my enemy. How many of us actually manage to achieve that?
7 deadly sins.wrath, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy and gluttony. aDont we have sex for pleasure? dont we greed for Ipad, TV, travel, all sorts of self-indulgence? dont we envy? dont we get angry (wrath) all the time?
My mom said, brush your own teeth than the mirrors. comprehensive?
If we wish to exercise our religious thought to the other, no peace will be upon the earth. We had seen deadly crusader wars , bloody 7 years war, people proclaims supremacy of own believer and intend to triumph the believe of another, often , end up disastrous and resembles nothing of a God like features.
You had spoken your opinion, to go against homosexual. God appreciate and acknowledged. However, i dont see any part of Quran that god requires you to suppress them! When Nabi Mohd reigned in Madina, he advocated peaceful and harmonious policy to govern the relationship of Muslim, christians and the Israelis.
You are urging the government to solve the problem because it is against your religion's teaching.
Assume that Christian do more harm to Islam than Homosexual to Islam. Christian do not believe Nabi Mohd at the first place. Christian do not pray to Allah 5 times a day facing the holy city. Chrisian eat porks. Christians are against polygamy. Realistically, Christian do more harm to islamic teaching than homosexual.
Same goes to Buddhist. Assume that Buddhist prayed to some idol which might be satan in your perspective. Buddhist believe in recarnation which contradicts to your eternal syurga and Neraka. They are more deadly to your beleive than homosexual.
why such an unfair treatment to our homosexual friend, which committed no crime from their part? why punish people who are born in that way and have no solutions to change their sexual orientation?
I love peace. I love perpaduan, and i embrace satu Malaysia. Just like many of you. I see our homosexual friend are a bunch of peace maker, whom sometimes indulge in their group activities which you are accusing as a "problem", just like us. we lust for a new car, we lust for sex. nothing much that could differ the similarities of such "problem" concerning their's than us.
I see them as equal as us. Nothing special. I dont see a reason to exclude them from the notion of ordinary. Being ordinary, they are entitled to enjoy what we are enjoying. We are entitled to love and have pleasure with our loves one so do they.
Thanks for tolerating us, the christian all the while, so do us, tolerating the muslim anad other religion. Such a toleration, is the foundation of building our country, and such a toleration , should extend to every ordinary person who did not post harm or threat to the society.
CONCLUSION
Unless, you can provide a COMFORTABLE solution, do not press on our homo friend for a change in their social orientation. Homosexual had been there since no time. As far as i can recall, since the time of Alexander the Great where history was written. Its undoubtedly natural. Some animal do have sex with their same kind as well. (i am not equating man with animals, just an example to show that its natural).
We are lucky to be born as a hetero sexual. Before asserting our believe, please understand them. Please, think of kissing the person of the same sex if you are a hetero sexual person. Passing law banning homosexual for them is just as painful, as passing a law to ban us from loving another person of an opposite sex. Unless , you can provide a comfortable solutions, for instance, a painless injection which can switch their orientation, i urge us to keep quite.
regards
