You know, Pia, I was wondering where all the homophobes had gone. Ah, here they are, spouting ill-disguised ignorant prejudice and invoking God to justify heterosexuality! I have to roll on the floor laughing when people of India justify heterosexuality just because it helps to produce babies! Right, we don't have enough babies in India! Look how empty our country has become since the release of "Dostana"! Everybody has turned gay!🤪
sooo... let me get this straight.. if someone says it's a naturally biological process through which man and woman unite to produce children, which is not possible NATURALLY in homosexuals, AND/OR if someone who is religious feels it homosexuality is wrong, against the will of God... they r .. wht did u say.. ill disguised? ignorant? lol. seriously? u r ignorant if u can't accept other's opinions and views.. the person clearly said she's not a hater.. if some1 does have strong religious beliefs, beliefs that don't support homosexuality, that honestly that not mean they r ignorant or ill-disguided :| i am offended by this.. being ignorant wud've been some1 who doesn't accept homosexuality as a "common" trend in society today, that has been there since a long while.. being "ignorant" wud be someone who thinks homosexuals shud be eradicated from the face of the earth becuz whtever..
but saying that one BELIEVES homosexuality is wrong, based on how they PERCEIVE nature, or their religious beliefs, is not wrong, not ill-disguised, and DEFINITELY NOT IGNORANT..
now, as for some1 else here asking question about why God creating gays? LOL. God did not "create" gays.. he created human beings.. he gave them a brain to think, he gave them certain skills, abilities, physique... he established processes, like mating, like birthing, like dying.. and then he assigned us rules... God does not create homosexuals, or hetero's.. just like He does not create criminals or murders.. by your reasoning, i'd go ahead and ask u why exactly criminals shud be punished, since really, GOD CREATED CRIMINALS...?????????????????????
i am NOT comparing criminals to homos.. i am just giving u an example, of the fact that wht we are, homo, hetero, is up to us.. yes, i understand, one can't help who one is attracted to.. but it's really not as simple as that,, a lot of factors come into play, which influences one to become homo or hetero.. but God does not create guys who will fall in love with others guys= gays .. or vice verca..
yes, He does create, mixed gender (sorry, i'm not sure wht the term is for them) people, basically the ones called "khusras" in our culture... all I wud say is, He has His own reasons.. He is God.. just like he creates someone disabled, he creates someone completely healthy, he creates khusras.. all His creations.. we can penalize people based on who they have become due to their choices - aka criminals.. but we can't penalize people who have been made the way they are by God, by nature - aka khusras..
as for guys who are homos or girls who are lesbs, i honestly don't have a firm stand on that.. i do believe homosexuality is wrong, it is a sin... but i would not want to kill all homos, or penalize them in any other way.. AND i am completely secure abt my sexuality (this is in response to some other reply i read here, abt people against homos are insecure of their own sexuality...??? 😕😕 i think many people are homophobics just because they feel it is wrong, a rebellion against nature, and they don't want their kids or people they love to be affected by it.. hey, i'm just presenting different perspective here😊 yes some homophobics are hypocrites..lol.. but not all.😊)
SOOO...
to conclude, being open-minded means you accept the fact that this world is prejudiced, maryadafan.. EVERYONE has some or other prejudice.. having prejudice is NOT wrong.. unless u mean harm based on ur prejudices.. being open-minded means u accept that not every1 will have the same view as u.. being open-minded means some people CAN still have traditional views on certain topics that the society has moved on with.. being open-minded means people CAN simply accept or reject an idea based on their religious beliefs.. and being open-minded means accepting that just because someone has not modernized their ideologies with the society does not mean they are insane, or ignorant.. rather, it could simply just mean, that they accept the change, they have no problem with others following it, but they r still uncomfortable with it, and they'd rather not have their own loved one following those ideas.. which, is the case for me..
but if u still think i am ignorant.. or selfish.. or narrow-minded.. or whtever the terms that r used to term people who dare say anything against conventional/modern views on issues like 'homosexuality' or 'premarital sex'... feel free to think of me that way, after all, to you your opinions and perspectives, to me, mine. 😉
last but not the least, if it was not already clear from my post, i am not some angry anti-homo, so plz don't take offense from my post.. i am just presenting a different side to this matter, for people who feel that any1 who feels like me r .. well i won't repeat myself again and again :P
but we are not wrong to feel a certain way, just like u don't feel u r wrong to have certain views.. and i won't change my views just because the society has come to be more acceptable...
the society doesn't make me, i make the society.
