Forbidden Love?

The Kiss of Judas

History's most famous kiss, interestingly took place between two men! it did not take place between Romeo and Juliet, Not between Shajahan and Mumtaj, Not between Anthony and Cleopatra and certainly not between Lancelot and Guinevere.

Judas Iscariot kissed Jesus Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane. I do not want to go into as to why Judas kissed Jesus Christ. But the kiss certainly happened. Whether it be a sign of betrayal or love, a kiss is a kiss. And it took place between two men, and it is still fondly talked about.

The recent past really angered me, where in North Carolina same sex marriage was banned. The majority of the people voted against same sex marriage.

So why can't they get married? Why is Homosexuality wrong?

I got answers. And i got answers that were truly biased and had a real essence of unjust to it.

It degrades the definition of  marriage. It is a covenant between and a man and woman and should remain to be so. 

So here we see the sanctity of marriage being put to test. 

Love should essentially be the main criteria for a marriage to survive for a long term. And this statement is agreed by most of us. So why couldn't two people of the same sex who found love among each other get married?

It violates the natural law. This is a statement that i really failed to comprehend. What's the natural law? following this rhetoric question, i faced a series of arguable statements. So if they say that homosexuality violates the natural law, are they saying that we are doing everything in accordance with nature? i don't think so. Think about it. Does it not violate nature to cut down trees for timber and paper, destroying the habitat of animals? ( i'm not an environmentalist but if you believe same sex marriage violates nature, then so does cutting down trees) Does it not violate nature to overkill animals for our own amusements? 

I could go on asking questions like this and proving that most of the times we are not doing everything according to nature. 

So who decides these natural laws?

I found out that this statement was based upon religion. Same sex marriage was not against nature, it was against religion. It was the twisted way in which religious people drafted the statement so that it doesn't seem to have a religious base to it. It offends the religious scripture that we so fondly abide by.

It is said in the bible that two men may not have sexual relationship with each other. But that is said in the bible. But what about people of other faiths? what about people who don't believe in religion? why are they obligated to live in accordance with your faith, beliefs and traditions? 

I could keep pondering as to how we are not living according to what the religious scripture says, and more over i find the whole notion of sinning throughout the week and asking for forgiveness on Sunday absurd. But perhaps that is an argument for another time (and please i beg you to not label me as an atheist!).

What we have to really understand is that Homosexuality is not a choice. Gay and Lesbian people did not choose to be that. They did not get vexed with the opposite gender and choose to be in a relationship with the  person of the same gender. I ask you, if you are a straight person can you choose to like person of the same gender? NO.

Numerous cases of homicides and suicides have been reported throughout the years, due to the bullying of Gay and Lesbian people. What did they do to deserve this?

They are also people. People composed with bones,blood,nerves heart and a brain. And most importantly, they are human composed with feelings. There are still gay and lesbian people living among us, hiding and burying their true self within and loathing in pain everyday for not being able to express themselves because their brothers and sisters are so discriminant.

Why should people have to hide as to who they are? there are gay and lesbian veterans, who have summoned their lives for the protection of their country  without whom we would not be able to sleep peacefully at night. Doctors, engineers, business men and women who are gay and lesbian, without whom our society will cease to exist. Why can't they lead a simple life of their own?

And what we are doing now is simply tarnishing a major portion America's charater, which is equal opportunity and fairness. We need to change, and change for the betterment of humanity.

It is scientifically proven that even some species of animals also exhibit homosexual behavior. But interestingly enough i don't see the other animals who don't exhibit homosexual behavior having a problem with it. 

We also so fondly talk about freedom of speech and giving people their rights, but what rights are we giving people if we a not allowing them to live the way they intend to.

And i would like to restate my point that they did not choose to be what they are. They were born that way. 

And i think it is reasonable enough to allow them to live that way. Or else there is no point in defining ourselves as the "intelligent" species. 

(And for your information i'm a very angry straight person).
