"BEING DIFFERENT IS NOT UNNATURAL"
Homosexual intercourse is a uni-sexual offense under the section 377 of the
Indian Penal Code since 1860. Mental, physical emotional and economic violence against LGBT (Lesbian, Gay,
Bisexual, Trans) community in India prevails. In NAZ foundation v. Govt of NCT
of Delhi in 2009, the Delhi High Court ruled section 377 and other legal
prohibitions against private, adult, consensual and non commercial same-sex
conduct to be in direct violation of fundamental rights provided by the Indian
Constitution. However, the Supreme Court overturned the judgement on 11
December 2013 and upheld the primary of section 377.
According to the court, even if its consensual and done in private between
adults, the 'crime' will attract a maximum punishment of life imprisonment.
The verdict ignites protests all over the country. Many human rights groups
expressed worries that this would render
homosexual couples vulnerable to police harassment. They day that the SC's
ruling is a disappointing setback to human dignity and the basic right to
privacy and non-discrimination.
We have seen that various religious organisations have come forward to
protest against the High Court verdict. Homosexuality is considered as a sin by
most of the religions. But they fail to show any evidences to support their
arguments. They couldn't find it in their religious text..
So my question here is,should we be homophobis? What is wrong in being a
homo? Sexual desires differ from person to person. LGBTs are just different from us. According
to studies more than 1500 species shows homosexual behavior. In that case,how
on the earth can it be unnatural??!!
Hindu views on homosexuality and in general LDBT issues are diverse and
different Hindu groups have different opinions, There are various Hindu text or
stories deals homosexuality and is portrayed as natural and acceptable. There
are several Hindu temples which have carvings that depict both men and women
engaging in homosex. Shikhandi plays an important role in Mahabharata.
Hijras,alis etc.. are considered as a good omen by various people in India.
While talking about Christianity the condition is almost similar. Within
Christianity there are a variety of views on the issues of sexual orientation
and homosexuality. A few interpreters argue that the Bible condemn
homosexuality pointing out the story of destruction of Sodom and Gomorroh(two
cities believed to be destroyed by god due to homosexual behavior of it's
people). But other interpreters however maintain that the bible does not
condemn homosex.
Homosexuality is considered as a punishable offense and a sin by Islam.
Still, homo erotic themes were depicted in poems and other literature works by
famous Muslim poets of medieval period. Homosexuality attracts death penalty in
countries life Afghanistan, Brunei, Iran, Mauritanian, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia,
Sudan and Yemen but is legal in 22 other Muslim majority nations like Albania,
Chad, Bahrain, Iraq, Jordan etc..
I feel pity to say that its illegal in my country for two men or women to
make love with each other. At the same time, a daughter is murdered in some
rural village by her own parents for being with a man of other cast.
I feel pity to say that an Indian citizen is not free to chose his/her life
partner.
I feel pity to say that the the judiciary or the administrative departments
or the so called RULING SECTION has not taken any decision in regard with the
safety and security of our gay brothers and lesbian sisters.
I would like to conclude this by pointing out my argument in this issue. I
personally support homosexuality. First of all,I do think that a person has the
right to chose with whom he should live. The Govt. or the police or the
Judiciary should not be putting there head in to all those private stuffs.
Secondly,I believe homosexuality is necessary for the survival of human
race. Because.. What do you think is the most challenging problem faced by us??
Poverty?? Terrorism?? Pollution?? I agree that all these are problems and
definitely serious ones.. but the main villian is not any one of these.. Its
OVER POPULATION. I believe Over population is the root cause of all the other
problems..
When Europe was hit by the Black Death,almost 1/3rd of the population was
gone. This was followed by renaissance. Yes.. There was food for everyone.. Shelter
for all.. What happened? The population was checked.. I believe such a
solution should be made.. And I believe homosexuality is one of the best. As
Homo partners cannot reproduce.. A fraction of the total population go sterile..
Ultimately, the population can be controlled..
Nature has always found a solution for all the problems it face.
Homosexuality was such a solution put forth by the mother nature herself so as
to keep the population under controlled. So,homosexuality is not unnatural..
Its perhaps the best among natural ones...
So.. Guys.. They too are humans.. Accept them... They are our brothers and
sisters...
Take care..
