Gays and Lesbian are the gender
that is not accepted in the society but their population is still increasing
till now, is there any problem with them? Because even they are not accepted
some people choosing to become one of them and what is the main reason why
others can’t accept them?
The reasons why the society can’t
accept them because the stigma that our ancestors give to us it’s never been
move in our mind, and that stigma can be easily wiped out if we will open our
mind and think. People have a different opinion and a different mind but god
creates us with a purpose to change something that will benefit all of us.
The things that are ancestor using
in the old days is now our decoration in our houses because we start developing
it and now we have a high tech gadgets that we can use in our daily life, it’s
like the stigma that our ancestor give to us we need to removed it because we don’t
get any benefit on it and the only thing that we can get on it is a separation,
a gay and lesbian that still a people that have no disease and still fighting
for an acceptance in our society.
I read some article that entitled “Howto Understand Gay and Lesbian People” one of its editor is Ben Rubenstein. The article
talks about several tips on how to understand a gay or a lesbian and how to
start accepting them in our society, actually they made a step first one is Learn
that gay men and lesbians are no different from any other group of people, 2nd
Forget about stereotypes; they almost always do not apply, 3rd Accept
the fact that the ability to love or care for another is not solely related to
sexuality; love has no gender, 4th Realize that it is not your
business who other people love, 5th Understand that gay and lesbian
people do not choose to be gay and cannot make themselves straight; just as
straight people do not choose to feel attracted towards the opposite sex, 6th
Be open minded, as you would be with any other person, and last is If you don't
agree with it, don't insult them! . “Gay men and lesbians are not as different
from the rest of society as you may assume they are.” This line is a reminder for all of us that gays
and lesbian is not an alien or a people with a disease that is contagious, we
must accept them because they are also a people who want an acceptance with the
decision that they choose and that is to be different with us but still they
choose it us a people, a people that belongs to our society and have a rights
to all that other people acquiring now.
Gays and Lesbian is also a people
who need a respect and an acceptance from our society. We need to accept what
they are and what decision they will make because it’s not our life and we have
no right to control them because they have their own mind and heart. We must
accept them as a normal people of this society because they are belong to this
society and they have the rights to be accepted in this society even we don’t want.
