First of all let me say I'm sadden and relieved that you wrote this blog.. Sadden as to the tone and the nature of the blog especially in this progressive and tolerant period we live in. Relieved that it seems like an attempt to learn more which I think you should embark upon.
Now general comments, in no way or form did you mention that woman yes females are homosexuals or CAN be classified as such. Fyi the term homosexuals refer to both males gays and females lesbians. It was clear that you are unaware of the various terminologies used when we speak of homosexuality. Statements such as “those people (who? Homosexuals), back of the curtain (what? anal sex), was a bit rude for this for such a website as amplify..
In paragraph one you spoke of marriage but I ask you what marriage is? Some will say a legal institution for commitment and love, I say a manmade disaster that allows women to sit and suffer abuse, a disaster that forced females and children into a life of hell, a disaster that consummates or legitimize sex which my friend should not be. I'm happy that it was televised because it shows that we are all equal and we deserve love and that AIDS doesn't mean a death sentence. You used the words wickedness and immorality well according to the oxford dictionary wickedness and immorality are defined as "spiteful" and "oppose to" are homosexuals spiteful and who do they oppose? A lot of homosexuals are very religious individuals even more spiritual than you and I.
In paragraph two you said gay marriage is worst than global warming are you serious? Clearly you are being uninformed. How is gay marriage a treat to human kind?.. will every male and female become homosexuals? There are many women and men who are homosexuals who desirous to start a family and will go through numerous ways to get a family... Please read up a little bit more I’m sure there are numerous websites and articles on line that can provide you with the right information You also said and I quote “spread widely in a short period of time throughout the world as we clearly the increase...... And bring end to human race “wow those are some strong, I wasn't aware that homosexuality was contagious and that it was global epidemic. My lord we need to divert our plans from preventing HIV/AIDS to eradicating the spread of homosexuals.
Paragraph three continued your uninformed protest that homosexuality will lead to an extinction of the human race. You said “how can we support homosexuality and call it human rights when homosexuality will extinct all humans, who will we advocate for? A low blow that was to validate your point. Men and women will always have the urge to have sex, the urge to start a family whether together or through other forms. Don’t believe me? I challenge you to have a child without sexual intercourse with the opposite sex.
Paragraph four went into sin. Please don’t go there... Who construct sin? what is sin but a man made cultural construction. Genital mutilation in some African countries is the norm while in other countries it’s a sin... My trusty dictionary defines insane and abnormal as "extremely foolish" and “deviating from the norm" respectively. Are homosexuals foolish? How so, when many are great leaders, doctors, actors, humanitarians. What norm have they deviated from the one you constructed? Now how can someone be raped and is collecting money for his service. The correct term is prostitution or the newly formed term commercial sex work. These Young Street boys you speak of are being paid and are collecting money so how is it rape? You tell me. Having anal sex does not mean an automatic infection of HIV/AIDS and the spread in HIV/AIDS cases. Having unprotected sex whether anal, vaginal, oral or needle sharing will lead to a spread of HIV/AIDS heterosexuals are at risk just the same as homosexuals. There are many HIV/AIDS positive heterosexual as there are homosexuals... What the figures show may say otherwise but it just proves that homosexuals aren't "foolish" as they seek testing unlike most heterosexuals who shy away from knowing there status.
I live in a country where homosexuality is the biggest taboo, where the act of buggery is illegal yet we have healthy progressive homosexuals to contribute positively to nation building and live their own personal lives. The day we start to discriminate is the day we become no better than those we lash out against. No one is abnormal, no one is weird. It’s what you perceive them to be and not what they are.
This is a serious issue in your country read more, learn more and help make a difference. I always say it could have been you, your sister, brother mother, father or child.
It’s never too late to give a helping hand or a listening ear.
Homosexuality is highly misunderstood by a lot of people, so thank you for pointing out that if you don't understand something you should take the time to learn about it instead of assuming it's bad or harmful. I really wish that more people would take that approach.
