Breaking The Taboo: Sexual Orientations
Let’s talk about one of the topics where people are not willing to accept the emotions, feelings, and choices of their people. They can’t accept it because they haven’t been part of it or they don’t want to because of their ferocious mentality towards that class of people.
It is the sexual orientation towards the same gender, which is way too normal as having a relationship between the opposite sex.
Sexual orientation is an enduring pattern of romantic or sexual attraction (or a combination of these) to persons of the opposite sex, the same sex, or to both sexes.
Many people discover their sexual orientation as teens or young adults, and in many cases without any sexual experience. For example, someone may notice that their sexual thoughts and activities focus on people of the same sex or both sexes. It is possible to have fantasies or to be curious about people of the same sex, and it is good to have these thoughts and feelings recognized because from it you are feeling and accepting your choices. Having feelings for same-sex is not a sin or a mistake, it’s your choice.
LGBTQ is the term given to these people who is non-heterosexual or non-cisgender, instead of exclusively terms like lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender. To recognize this inclusion, a popular variant adds the letter Q for those who identify as queer or are questioning their sexual identity.
It’s ok to be a member of the LGBTQ community, It’s ok to be YOU. But it is not ok if you are dragging someone else down just for their identity or sexual orientation.
LGBTQ people are not accepted by our society, let society be at aside, parents themself don’t understand their kids for these decisions. The family takes the child to some psychiatrist as if it’s a mental issue with the person. Whereas society thinks that it’s a genital problem with the kid or it’s the karma or his/her sins which are making them orient their sexual behavior.
While scientists do not know the exact cause that defines a person’s sexual orientation, they theorize that it is caused by a complex interplay of genetic, hormonal, and environmental influences. Doctors also believe that we are genetically born a homosexual, you can’t help it. So why should we criminalize it?
“They are born that way. So if two men or two women are that way, just leave them alone. And just accept them”
Who are we to question the choice of a person? And why is this choice not that normal as choosing a person of the opposite sex.
Now the time has changed, Our community is accepting love marriages because they respect their children’s decisions for the betterment of their life. Our parents accept our love because they know that their child is going to be happy and that is all that they desire for them. So the question arises why are we defining love according to gender, when at last happiness is all that matters. Let love be between any genders.
But NO, we won’t accept it because what will people say if my child is gay or a lesbian? What will society think about us? If we support LGBTQ, will society accept us? These are the irreverent questions that arise in our minds and we don’t accept or don’t care about our children and loved ones for their life. We just care about what people say, And that is the reason we don’t provide our love and care to them when they are in most need, when they are alone. Because probably we just live more for other people, not for our loved ones.
Irrespective of the person being gay, lesbian, straight, bisexual, or transgender, at last, he/she is a human, and as humanity, we should accept people as they are. All people, regardless of their sexual orientation or identity, deserve a safe and supportive environment in which they can achieve their full potential.
