377,
A well renowned section of Indian Penal Code,
which has been very successful in substantially killing people not by
taking their dear lives away but by traumatizing them for what they are and for
betraying the nature in a very big way.
The 377 dates back to 1861, during the anarchic
rule of British, which laid down the platform for Indians to lose their open
minded nature and become one among the people who ruled over them.
A relic of the past, a pain for the present and
a threat to the future of a country which dreams of becoming a permanent member
of the UN Security council, an Economic Tycoon, A Super-Power and the so called Sone
Ki Chidhiya (The Golden Bird), was given the crown again to go and
rule over the people who breathed a few happy days of their lives.
When I look into different phases of time that
our country India has seen, all I see is that the people were thought to be
open-minded and be generous, understanding and helpful to each other. But all
that I see today is no desire to help, a narrow minded society and nothing but
people full of self.
The Apex Delhi High Court took a step to bring
an end to this anarchic rule and gracefully gave the LGBT community the rights
that they were denied due to the IPC
377. A bold step for the High court of Delhi, which brought a great deal of
joy to the LGBT people, now was a matter of pain to the religious groups and
many other people who still thought that this rule was against the law of
nature.
This rule was challenged very soon that it was
brought into effect. A person who did not have any word to say during the
dissolution of 377, went up to the Supreme Court of India and challenged the
Delhi High Court’ 377 dissolution verdict. This challenge proved to be
disastrous to the LGBT community when the Supreme Court re-criminalized carnal
sex between two consenting same gender people in private.
There were many statements made over the Sec 377
IPC being re-criminalized. I will take a time out to bring those and try to put
light over the same. The following are the ones that sum up the major of the
comments and statements made over LGBT and the Sec 377.
1. Sex between two beings of the same gender is not
in-line to the laws of nature.
There are over 60 species that have been recognized
by the researchers which involve in the act of homosexuality. Since everybody
considers (except the skeptical and homophobic robots) that everything belongs
to Nature, then how can humans be not in-line with something which the nature
itself has created, accepted and appreciated?
2. Homosexuality is against the religion.
Every religion has been originated after a long
period of time since the origin of human kind. Religion is something that we
have faith in. Religion is something that helps us realize ourselves. Religion
is something which appreciates the nature and accepts the nature. Religion
teaches love not hatred. Religion has taught us Love not Hatred, Peace not War,
Acceptance not Denial; and still we humans take pride in putting the point
forward that Religion doesn’t accept homosexuality. One big contradictory
point! If religion doesn’t accept homosexuality then Religion also doesn’t
accept nature. If that is the case then Religion is not nature. Which means
that Religion was created by us humans just to overpower others and put them
into misery. With that said, Religion is not Nature, we should stop following
any religion and start living humanity.
3. Homosexuals should not be allowed to live as
they spread HIV!
Well as far as HIV is considered, how did a
heterosexual person like you get HIV then? Did he go to a Homosexual to gain
it? Sex is one way that HIV spreads, and there is no point in arguing against
it. Heterosexuals too are affected by HIV and the means of transmission to them
has SEX in the list. And for the point that Homosexuals spread HIV; FYI
homosexuals do not go around spreading HIV like some people spread hatred
against them. They spread love and respect and they take the opportunity to accept
all the sufferings, mental and physical, you have got to offer to them and
still they keep smiling.
For the point that they should not be living, I
have a sincere request to all of you homophobic people. Please demonstrate how
to die by dying.
4. How will they be able to live with each other
for life long? This weird relationship would not last for long!
For the facts and findings by The Williams
Institute, a prestigious gay-legal think tank located at the University of
California Los Angeles, when tried obtaining figures of the divorce rates
for the same sex and the heterosexuals, the counts were staggering. The divorce
rates of the heterosexual couples were greater than that of the homosexual
couples.
Even the psychologists have backed up the fact
that the homosexuals have more understanding between them and their partner
when compared to that of the heterosexual couple.

5. Gay lifestyle is dangerous!
First thing first, gays or lesbians do not have
a lifestyle. They have lives just like you. They love it the same way that you
love your life. Talking about lifestyle, YES, it is dangerous. Gays drink
coffee and so do you. Gays eat food and so do you. Gays breathe and so do you.
Gays love, work for their living, walk, talk, smile, laugh, cry, feel hurt,
feel happy, get stuck in traffic, have friends, have relationships, kiss each
other and also have SEX and so many more activities are performed by them. And
for the typical homophobic people’ enlightenment, I would like to share the very
astonishing fact that you too perform one or more of the above activities in
your day to day life. So if that makes ‘Gay Lifestyle’ dangerous, then you
ought to run babe.
6. What about kids?
Life is just not about getting married and
having kids. The only goal of marriage is not to have kids. It is the union of
two souls, who are to understand each other, care for each other, love each
other and support each other. So if they want to get the knot tied, let them.
They have many other ways of having kids. They can adopt a child and make a
difference to the life of that child. They can be a very big factor to bring in
happiness to so many children who are deprived of happiness by their
heterosexual parents who were not in a situation to fulfill their
responsibilities either due to financial or personal issues with their partner.
7. Homosexuals should not adopt as they cannot
parent them well.
Homosexuals are capable of loving the children
the same way that the heterosexual couples do. They might not be expert at
parenting and mind you neither the heterosexual couples are experts at it. It
is a learning curve that the heterosexual couples go through and the same can
be followed in by homosexuals too. Research has found that homosexuals prove to
be better parents when compared to heterosexuals and also that they are capable
of spending more time with their child and supporting him/her. And for another
point to be made clear, being parented by homosexuals doesn’t make the child
homosexual too.
8. Homosexuals can change their orientation!
As a matter of fact, this is insanely non-sense.
Homosexuals cannot change their preference like they can with their clothes. Get
a man to change his dress code to that of a skirt or a gown for his life by
telling that his preference of clothing can be changed. What would be the
response? A big NO! In similar way it is just that a person might find his
preference inclined towards another person of the same sex which is really
FINE!
It is a proven fact that sexual preference is
natural and cannot be changed at any cost. It is not a disorder that can be
cured of.
It is as simple as life.
Love and Spread Love! Say ‘NO’ to Homophobia.
