I am happy and gay

Sexuality and gender identity-based cultures

There is nothing wrong in coming out in the open and telling the world “I’m Gay”. What the heck. Personal sexuality is something of a preference. If the society looks at me as a male, and I consider myself as a female, isn’t it my point of view?

What was in the closet decades ago is out in the lounge – sexuality. We must understand that some people are trapped in a body which they should not have been trapped into. Consider this, a smart young man, who is actually a woman. Has womanly feelings. Is feminine. Thinks feminine. Unfortunately, her body is male. Call it a manufacturing defect? Yes. Happens.

There is nothing wrong for gay people to feel derogated about having feminine feelings. Feminity is the sustenance of mankind. It is the basis of evolution and pro-creation. It is what created the universe. Don’t we call our Earth Mother Earth? Do we call it Father Earth?

There is nothing wrong in being gay. It is a matter of personal preference. As the world evolves, no more will stereotypes be stereotypes. Paradigms of sexuality are changing. People are no longer conforming to man-made rules. Man does not care what man has made.

Gay is not a concept or a trend. It is a reflection of what the modern day people have done. Gay men have been existent since the creation of man. Because most often, Gay men are Gay because of a biological disposition. Also, the environment they grow in becomes a determining factor.

Man loving a man is no longer a taboo. Because love itself is not a taboo. Long live love!

Gay couples can rear children

Gay marriage create a storm sometime back. Some states quickly endorsed it. A sign of the changing times, same sex attraction is now being discussed openly. What was virtually impossible decades ago is now possible. What more is the possibility of gay couples to raise children.

The society has become more tolerant toward same-sex marriages and lifestyles. They have understood that the need of the body and the need of the mind may not match always. Everyone is made differently. When a change in the fundamental constitution of a person occurs, it can’t be helped. It has to be managed.

Gays all over the world want civil rights. Gays are coming out in the open more than ever. They want to be treated on par with others. Considering this, it is fair to say that they have to be given the privilege of rearing children as well. Like other human beings they have the social and legal right to rear children.

Biologically, a man and a woman may be required to raise a child. When the child grows up, it will need the femininity in the mother to complete its development. If the femininity of motherly love can be given by a man, so be it. Even though it is an uncomfortable situation, it is possible. Quite amazingly.

Nobody becomes a gay or lesbian unless they strongly feel such tendencies. We must understand that. Their biological need might be fine-tuned for things that might not complement their physicality. Instead of shunting them, we should treat them on par. Give them the support. Tell them to live their life normally, and with their heads held high.
