NOV 4 we know we took an entire month off but observant anything but as President Bartlett from "The West Wing" would say, "Break's over." So let me begin a 11th month of a year with a simple statement: we am gay, which basically equates to we take to liking guys over girls. And yes, this is a same Hafidz Baharom who has apply oneself for Nik Aziz, believes in Muhammad as good as Allah, as good as also supports a existence of an anti-terrorism law. So as we can substantially tell by now, we am not a kind of person who only belongs neatly to a single group.
Hell, if Umno had an homogeneous of a American Log Cabin Republicans, I'd substantially be a member. At least, that's what associate bard Zaidel Baharuddin is all a time saying.
So when someone comes out badmouthing a a single as good as only eventuality which gave me a bravery to come out to my parents in 2008, we would only identical to to contend this: we substantially have a part of of my village in your families. And your denial, your labelling them as dirty, unclean, unholy abominations adds to their confusion as good as this will inspire them to distance themselves from you. Seksualiti Merdeka, yet we might no longer be a part of it, exists quite to remove which damage.
After all, if Allah made men in many races as good as colours, what makes we think He himself does see sexuality in a identical context? Who have been we to contend we understand His designs?
Homosexuality is not a hazard to any religion. It does not have people some-more or less religious. It does not have them religion-hating people or atheists. It does not even have them convert as good as turn apostates. So can we indeed play religion as a card to explain your fear of what we do not understand?
And to a dumbfounded as good as maybe only dumb, uneducated women upon which session of "Wanita Hari Ini", homosexuality is not a hazard to your approach of life. If your husband is happy as good as married you, chances have been he is still! happy o r maybe bisexual to begin with.
And if we have a man who dates transgender women instead of you, which is his preference; it is not a hazard to your livelihood, beloved members of a conflicting sex. And honestly, if we have been decrying which transgender people have been removing improved jobs than you, we indicate we only find a nice mark upon a Penang Bridge as good as burst off. Because a Mak Nyah a part of of a most discriminated organisation in a republic can overcome influence as good as get a pursuit improved than you.
You have been literally, beloved women, a waste.
I am not a hazard to this country. No some-more than a revolutionary is. No some-more than a eremite fanatic who thinks we need to take behind sex from a Jews is. No some-more than a pro-Palestine nutcases who disapprove any Israeli athlete who stairs into a republic is.
I am a taxpayer, a voter, as good as maybe a single of a highest contributors to a nation's overpriced sin tax around ethanol as good as cigarettes which will eventually lead me to minister even some-more to a republic around healing bills in a later future. Hell, as a community, we substantially spend some-more upon a luxury taxes as good as import duties than a prime minister's wife.
All we am observant is this. We have been a republic of 28 million as good as growing. We differ in a politics, a views upon religion as good as even maybe a views upon whatever pets we prefer. However, it is a good known actuality which every single Malaysian deserves to live his/her hold up in peace especially when it has no bearing upon anyone else.
And no, only since we have been troubled by a steer of dual guys locking lips in front of you, it is not causing we bodily harm. You might be mentally scarred, but which is only since you're a homophobe. And whilst politicians altogether idle upon this emanate to avoid losing votes, alternative some-more eremite ones have been already whoring themselves upon this emanate to win over their shrin! king vot es.
But of course, it's not only a eremite who have been you do a whoring. It seems a Malay supremacists have been at it as well. And whilst there have been members of a LGBT village who have been racists in this day as good as age, as good as maybe even some-more who have been self-hating, guilt-tripping people ancillary those who don't await them, we am sure there have been some-more gays, lesbians, transgenders as good as bisexuals who will only keep quiet as good as wait for a list boxes to hurl out to prove their displeasure.
I know we will. Come December, we might very good begin essay for another side interjection to eremite idiots such as these.
