And with this historic decision, LGBT marriages have been given a legal status in the United States.
He was relieved for the first time in the last 20 years of his life. As he stood up to switch off the grand LED TV which hung on a silky smooth wall of his equally grand villa, there was a subtle smile on his face which took the shape of a full curve. He couldn’t believe what he just heard. Yes, finally the greatest nation in the world had given its acceptance to the LGBT relationships which was a huge milestone for the whole community. Just he wished he could have been a resident of USA, and not India.
The smile soon drifted and a gloom took over his mind. After listening to the heated conversation and the news report about the decision to impart legality to LGBT in America, he had forgot that he was not a resident of America which would allow him to portray his emotions as per his wish.
He was in India and no matter how much success or wealth he accumulates over the time, there was not even a slight possibility that his sexual inclinations would have found a legitimate acceptance in the society. It was not even about legitimacy but also about morality and India being a god fearing nation, would never accept this ‘Paap’ even in this ‘Ghor Kaliyug’. A country where in the ancient ages the moon god seduced a girl and the child born from the result made the most epic and visible structure about all what a human can ever decipher about the three letter, taboo word….. shhh psst… I would not even try to spell that word or the moral police of India, much faster than the google indexing bot would find me through the same as I am trying to pollute the ancient culture.
The structure I am talking about is however a temple, yes, the irony being that it is a temple and still the inherent theme that is imbibed in the structure is an offensive. Though being a temple dedicated to the moon god, the Khajuraho temple is a sparkling account of how our ancestors thought about sexual inclinations, the walls of which beautifully adorn all types of positions and situations one can think of. In many images and sculptures, one can see a relation between a man and an animal and even two men. So, what should I decipher, that the temple was a figment of a sculptor’s imagination or his wild fantasy or should I believe that the walls depicted only what all was prevalent and acceptable in the society. “
When the ancient India had something such as this, why we being so modern couldn’t understand the concept of LGBT relationships? It is not about legitimacy or morality, it is about personal preference….
Anyone can be inclined in any way, and being a god’s creation, he couldn’t be looked down at. In a free country, which we proudly present ourselves as, there is no such freedom as far as ones preferences are concerned. People say this is not moral, this is against the law of nature. A question here arises, that if it is against the law, then why the nature created such people? Is the nature at fault? It is said that nature is nothing but the grandeur of God himself visible through the naked eye. Then this means we are questioning God himself. It is a proven fact that sexual inclinations are by birth and the lack or excess of hormones result in such preferences. Then this means either god forgot to maintain a balance for such people, or there was a deeper meaning to it.
God wanted us to be generous and learn to accept anything and everything. There is always a scope for learning and god wanted to ensure that this world accepts everything through constant development in learning abilities. But it seems we are against the flow as far as our outlook is concerned. It is acceptable for us to view such sculptures from ancient world, but are not able to accept the same in reality.
Such relationships are present in every society, but are a deep secret buried inside closed rooms and have its place in the secret gossips which everyone of us enjoy, but when something like this comes out, we actively condemn such behavior because it is against morality.
Isn’t this a kind of hypocrisy of some sort? We accept ourselves as a free nation but what is the meaning of a free nation where its citizens are not free in every sense. We are not free to speak, not free to express, not even free to support, leave alone being inclined in such a way. What is all this I do not know.
I just know one single thing. Every human, is a creation of god and deserves love in its purest form, it is his/her personal choice to accept love and affection as he/she wants. Why do we link sexual inclinations to morality?
Let’s assume a situation, if LGBT relations are legalized in the country, I can visualize a society where a couple, the world calls which abnormal would give a home to an orphan by adopting a child as their child, and loving affection of parents in every sense. I cannot visualize a better situation than this. I guess world is meant to be a lovely place and spreading love is the noblest of causes. And just by legalizing and accepting a LGBT relation as a natural and normal one can help in making this world a better place and would make the country a free society in every sense.
People will not have to die deep within with a guilt, for which they are not even responsible and many would help the millions of unfortunate kids to own a family, which is like a luxury to the orphan kids.
I know this is a fictitious situation with no resemblance to the real world, still, I wish the world lived the spirit of freedom in every sense.
