Being Gay or Lesbian is a Crime? Socialy or Legaly?

"There is a convention in the Sahitya Academy Hall on 20th December... topic is interesting.... why dont you just drop in buddy??????" My friend was asking seeing i was bored of simply sitting at home and scratching pimples..... Its almost two months that i left Bangalore after my studies and sitting at my parents home, doing nothing..... Nothing means nothing, other than eating and sleeping.... I can go back to bangalore only January to Bangalore to look for a job. I was getting bored day by day and was feeling like getting my self puffy. So i took this as an oppurtunity to visit my friends. It was on last saturday i visited one of my dearest friend, who is learning to be a doctor, whom i found a good partner to talk for hours over a cup of coffee. It was my first visit to city of Trichur, which is known as the cultural capital of Kerala. i found that city interesting. More than the city interesting was my buddy. we were talking on various things and the topics. really it was a great relief for me when i got some body whom i can talk freely. when he came to know that i am sitting at home simply and getting bored..... that moment he put me the question.... The Convention is about Sexual Self Determination Freedom and is organised by Sexual Rights Forum and Sahayathrika and some of the NGOs of same objectives.... and it is at Sahithya academy hall... yaaaa..... i decided to participate..... but i got to travel almost 150 kms from my home in aleppey distrist to Trichur city. no probs..... its for good.... i know sexual minorities are facing big problems in india..... if i can do some thing for them it will be great.... more over as a health professional, more over a citizen of the great Republic of India, i have to help my fellow beings in distress.... My friend told me it will be a great oppurtunity to talk to social workers who are having same objective.... good.... i am going to attend this at any cost... on that day, 20th December 2007, i started from my home in the morning itself... Dad droped me in the station and i agot in the train without much problem.... but unfortunately indian railways service was so excellent that i reached trichur only by 3 pm...... any way i reached in the city.... but need to find out where my friend is.... i called him and found the he too is on the way and we will be meeting in 20 mins in front of shaithya academy.... i am sure that i can attend only second talk.... i reached venue, and joined with my friend... we walked in and acquired a seat in the last row.... my freind is an active social worker and almost all others know him.... the talk was about the legal, social and moral problems of sexual minorities..... the talks were good.... but i felt that that was not enough to make any changes in the society.... but i know the fact that its not so easy..... its a step by step process..... may be this is the first step. but the audience is interacting,.... askinkg doubuts and having talks..... positive and negetive comments.... i found instead of going more interacted with the talk it will be better to talk with other social workers and organisers.... i walked out of hall with my friend.... i was introduced to so many others like minded.... i am not going to forget this day..... i had seen several types of charecters and undrestood how worse the problem is..... it really is..... Being gay or Lesbian doesnt change a human being.... Its just natural. World is accepting homosexuality as a normal factor.... but In india it is not.... gays and lesbians are not accepted ny indian society. the worst problem is for guys with feminine charecters, as there is a chance that they are beoing used sexually and some times being abused physically or mentally.... Why this descrimination..... gays , lesbians they are human beings...... like all others they have right to live..... basic human right...... the problem is yet to be solved..... Indian Law is against homosexuality..... Society also....But almost all world begins to accept homosexuality as a normal charecter, still indian society does not... Indian youth in cities are accepting this fact..... but it may be just 2 or 3 %.... but what about others....? Politicians are not making any efforts for sexual minirities ans its a matter that will burn their hand.... There will be so many people who will come with old victorian moral policing..... world is changed.... but society is still living in past..... Did you found any change in his or her charecter or behaviour after coming to know that your friend, brother, sister, son or daughter is homosexual.....? did he or she will not be your friend, brother, sister, son or daughter??? No... homosexuals are born as homosexuals....... they will be your dear ones, if you come to know or if you will not..... Who's mistake.....? Is that of parents who gave birth to homosexuals?? Is that of homosexuals who are born like that??? Is that of society who is not accepting???? or Is that of god who created them as homosexulas????? If you find answer also...... What is the solution? Treatment knowing that its not a disease?? Throwing them out of house or community??? Make them mentally unstable by torchering???? Killing them or forcing them to die themselves????? Or Accepting them as a your fellow beings and love them?????? Answer must be from the Society...... Answer must be from the creators of today's and tomorrows society..... Answer must be from the youth of India.....
