So I have been trying to gather my thoughts and come up with something concrete to write about, which in fact in reality is me trying to procrastinate and be lazy-sit-around-watch tv-make excuses for not moving my butt and actually posting something, anything at all!
There was this Roadies audition i watched today, about a guy who's gay and how he is ashamed to embrace the fact that his sexual orientation isn't towards girls, but towards guys instead. I am not going to sit here and go on and on about the rights of gay people, but I am all for gay rights ! Just putting it out in the universe.
The guy in question was brought up, well like all Indian kids are brought up, to believe that you have to be born, go to school, study really hard, get into college, get a job, and get married to a well-brought-up-having-good-indian-values-and-traditions girl. And god forbid you do not follow the steps to eternal bliss and happiness as prescribed above(rolling my eyes, such that my eyeballs might just disappear) you are to feel the following :
Guilty.
Unhappy.
Made to believe you are an alien from another planet.
Just pure evil !
Oh and he did feel all of that, not to forget also felt that he was the bad bad bad person in question.
News Flash : for all you auntyji's reading this post and going, oh well now that she has voiced all this out
A) She's probably gay.
B) hai hai !! kaha se milega isko ek acha patti abh? thankgod meri beti aisi nahi sochti hai!
Stop reading it right now. mein apna patti dhoond loongi auntyji, aap chinta mat kariye, patti nahi mila toh apne liye patni toh dhoond hi loongi ! ki farak paenda hai! :p
Translation for all you shameless non-hindi speaking Indians :
(hai! hai! from where will this girl find a suitable husband now that shes voiced all her opinions!
Dont you worry auntiji i will manage to find some guy to marry me, and if not im sure ill be able to find a girl! whats the difference :p haha its not as much fun in english, as it is to say the same in hindi !!!)
baahahahaha im sure this will scandalize them if nothing else.
So getting back to what a person is made to feel, just because he does not fit into the social norms, is something that I am strongly against! I think people who are gay should stop stressing over what the society is going to think, if you arent gay, trust me they still will sit asking you to fit into social norms involving other matters ! trust me, I know!
You parents, who have kids who are gay should be happy that they have a son or daughter who is not afraid to make choices for himself/herself. You have kids, who don't become less children just because their sexual orientation is different from what is expected. I mean really how does their sexual orientation affect a parent is beyond me !How does them being attracted to the same sex affect their being able to be a normal kid to their parents? I still do not get this logic :/
For all those people out there who are gay, confused or even straight for that matter ! i think you guys should be proud of your sexual orientation and if it makes you happy then why not! i don't think you should ever feel guilty about something that makes you happy! ever.
And trust me you do not become a lesser person on the basis of your orientation!! ( i skipped out the sexual part because i realized i have said sexual-orientation wayyyyyy too many times in this post, my mother reads this she'll flip but I guess she flips at most of the things I say but loves me anyway, hi ma!hope you like what i wrote :P )
I am all for gay rights, and i hope somewhere you guys too understand the logic behind every person making decisions for themselves. It would be a happier place,this world. A happier tomorrow if every individual could make their own rules and values and not succumb to set decided notions of society !
:)
ps: i just had to name the title that ! Out of curiosity to see how many people would just open the link because it had the above words in the title! Yes you, im referring to you . I know why you opened this link, wait till i tell your mom about what you view on the internet , bahahaha.
A bit didactic, but for those who think homosexuality is unnatural, around 1500 species of animals exhibit homosexual behaviour. They're not outcasts in their groups.
ReplyDeleteIf anything it's people who are against homosexuality that are more unnatural and savage because of their unjustified bias.
