Love
is love.
An acronym almost
everyone is familiar with but, almost everyone is not ready to accept it. LGBT
stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender. Firstly, let me brief you about
what these terms really mean.
L- Lesbian stands for
women who are romantically/emotionally or sexually attracted to women.
G- A gay guy is who is
romantically/emotionally or sexually attracted to men.
B- Bisexual stands for
the ones who are romantically/emotionally or sexually attracted to both sex or
different from their own.
T- Transgender is a
term used to describe people whose gender identity differs from what they have
assigned during birth.
There is a
"disease" in which people around us are suffering from this LGBT
pride. This disease is known as homophobia. Symptoms of this disease are
negative and absurd feelings towards the individual who comes under this
community. For curing this disease, the LGBT community is fighting for itself
from ages but the recovered count is much less than the infected count.
People of this
community are labeled which I feel is not necessary because they are the same
as every other human being around us or even better. We don't need to
differentiate them from others. It doesn't matter which gender one is in love
with what matters is he/she is getting to experience it.
People in this
community faces a lot more problems than we can think of. We are living in this
21st century and still, we have to deal with all this absurdness. It's like
people are just not ready to listen and understand the situation. Some people
even call it a phase just to undermine their self-affirmation. Even one's
parents reject their child. They consider their child sick, they think that
they are diseased but instead, it's vice-versa. Well after the rejection of
their parents they are rejected socially from almost everywhere be it
restaurants, clubs, parks, and other places. They can't rent a place to live
because of homophobia in people. Couples of this community can't hold hands
together in public like others.
In 2018 the Supreme
Court of India decriminalized homosexuality under the penal code of 377. After
such measures also, people are just not ready to accept the people of this
community.
This society is full of
hypocrites and a prime example is people are accepting the people from this
community for namesakes but they are not ready to own this among their own
family or friends. People accept them but superficially. Due to this issue,
it's quite discouraging to come out for people who belong to this community.
Because people around
us are double-faced and it's scary. They might accept at your face but what's
going in their mind you never know. I know people say it should not affect what
other thinks, but to survive in this society you need to think about that. This
is one issue another issue is people are not ready to talk about it. They just
try to avoid the topic with the person who came out to them. They need to
understand it's a big thing to come out to anybody and if somebody is doing
that to you that means you are quite important in their life, your views matter
to them.
So instead of avoiding
the topic, you should talk it out, it will help both the parties. And as the
topic says if you can't support them then please don't torment them.
Hope you
