title: Gay.
"Get Lost!"
Ouch. My heart shattered.
Life is like that. No pain. No gain.
Lets talk about Tolerance Vs Acceptance. Something I read one day about Homosexuals Vs Society. After reading articles and essays about sexuality in our globlised world. Its a big discovery to me tt no society explicitly accepts homonsexual practices as a normal lifestyle. Okie. Stupid not to know right. But I didn know tt it went on and on to such extent.
Just imagine gay terrorists fighting for sovergnity. A place where they can call 'home' and have their rules and regulation. It is not impossible but they will be isolated like how China comments about their dearest Taiwan being isolated from regional cooperations and globalwide involvement due to their political statues and Sino-Taiwan relations. But this form of isolation did not destroy her yet, but segregated the citizens. Well. I'm a singaporean with just an O level cert, so what say me? Nothing. Zip!
Back to gays. I am not strongly against them, but I also do not advocate their kind of liberity they have. This type of 'moral neturality' is not my cup of tea. I can tolerate but not accept it. Its not that I'm some intellectual person but its just my mind is not able to visualise the scene and comprehene the mentality of theirs. But I believe tt their choice to be and remain as homo is due to the emotional disorder that they suffer from their past hurts n experience. This experience includes learned behaviours and an act of rebelling against nature. This hurt expands out to parents, family, friends, community and society. Almost everyone.
Why am I so.. attracted to such social stigma? Who cares. Hahaha. But seriously what attracted me to this is the degree pathologist and pyscologist is able to link to from as early as the pagans to french revolution in the 1800s to womens' right movement in the 1970s until now - 2006. It has a long history of its existence within religion. humanity. culture. lifestyle. Its so deeply rooted in history yet, still unable to receive 'social recognition' but earned special rights like what handicapped enjoys.
They could be a large group of people, yet still counted as minority class as the goverment is not able to accurately account for them. Even so. many gay activist believes that such rights and classification of them is unnecessary as being different in their sexual preference is a lifestyle choice n nothing else.
Yet. Their proposition is not valid in the real world. In a US poll, most parents wouldn't want to have homosexual teachers. Reason 1: the possiblity of passing down the 'learned behaviour' to the next generation. Reason 2: Wide spread social responses. No compromise.
So how does it link with tolerance and acceptance? Answer: We can tolerate their prescene and leave them unmolested within their clinques but not accept their lifestyle as our society speaks for itself - their 1st response to their own realisation: guilt and the society is not helping by stating laws against their sexual practices.
And here's the irony. The laws are stated, yet not enforced. So does this shows that lawmakers just wanted to please the conveserative and create a illusion to moral values when it has already eroded until its core and only laws can lax the degradation and thicken the pads surrounding it? I'm not sure.
But my mores: I can love them but not their behaviour. They do not need anymore such ill-treatment but get heal from their emotional wounds. Its not just being healed that's all but to be restored entirely. Being accepted and released from their past. Hopefully it will remain as a memory of the past and a testimony of the future that nothing is impossible. As you can see. My mores are a reflection of my conviction and faith. Can comprehene. Can see beyond.
Anyway. How did I get to here? No coherence with my opening statement. That's life - complicated because we are humans.
