Homosexual rights seem to be a far cry when even two straight
people can’t get married without any hungama (commotion)
just because they either belong from different religions or
different levels of society and at times as silly as because people
are judged on basis of looks and income. A girl is questioned
about her character far more than a guy will be if she/he is too
bold or has too many opposite gender friends. Where as in
some states of our country child marriage is still a major issue
being ignored and here is our government putting a ban on
homosexual relationships.
Barriers are not completely useless, they show us our limits they
help us building our society and culture but these barriers
should not be used as a weapon to stop us from moving ahead
to be a powerful world. Or stop an individual from living his life
the way he/she wants to.
Imagine a country with no laws and regulation, a place where
it’s “OK” to do as you will that leads to destruction and no
development. No one would want to live in such a world. We all
are mature enough, responsible enough to know what could be
beneficial for ourselves and our country and this society, and it
is definitely not banning LGBT community or judging people
without knowing them and allowing corruption and child
marriages, child molestation, and rape cases.
This New Year be a different person, stand up for what you
feel is right and wrong and let’s not be influenced without any
full knowledge of a situation. Don’t be bounded, be an
empowered society aware about our rights. Be confident and
free to pursue your real self. Bob Marley quoted that
“Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery. None but
ourselves can free our minds.”
