LGBT (?)

Is that too late if I’m going to speak up about LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Biseksual, Transgender) right now?

Nah, who the hell would care… this is my blog, this is my only side where I can write anything, right?! HAHA so let me speak up a little bit more about this trending issue like months ago. Months ago??!! I know this is too late, but please, let me! Okay? :)

Well, first of all I always consider myself as a person who has religion. Yup, because here in Indonesia, every people should have their own belief in one religion—out of five big religions that have been legitimate by this country. And as long as I know, from religion’s view, the existence of LGBT people are consider as a bad “condition” in society. Even these religions tend to admit that LGBT people are a sinner who broke God’s actual creation of men and women only. This fact has had pros and cons between these days generation. Some people who call themselves still “stick” in their beliefs tend to give no tolerant attitude against LGBT; and some people who call themselves as the “modern” one tend to be more tolerant. No doubt, there’s always a gap between who stand against whom.

For me, it is true that what LGBT people are doing is not right (according to a part of me who stick in what I believe). But, the point here I’m about to make is, I don’t want those LGBT people to be ignored just because they’ve done something wrong (according to a part of me as a person—sort of “modern” humankind haha). Because until now I don’t see what they are doing will harm another people. I mean, I know all the extreme religious people will tend to curse what they’ve done because it is not right in God’s eye and they think that LGBT people deserve to be punished in the deepest part of the hell (pardon my language). But, COME ON, who are you people that you really want to ignore your own mankind?? All of you are proudly say that you have religion. You worship God and believe in religion that teaches you what is right and what is not right. But does your religion teach you to ignore somebody and reject them like they’ve done something unforgivable? Is this kind of rejection still considered as the right way to do against LGBT people?

Based on what I believe in my religion, even my God forgive an adulterer. It means in some way, HE teaches me not to reject people who have gone into a wrong path. I mean, who are we can judge their life? Who are we can say that they’ve gone into a wrong path? Still, only God knows about the end of their lives. We don’t have any rights to reject LGBT people. We don’t have any rights to just ignore their existence in our society. And most of all, we cannot blame them as what they’ve chose. I mean, I’m sure there are several reasons what makes them become what they are now. So what should we worry about, huh?

Since now on, even I am still believed in my religion, I cannot reject LGBT people. Though I’m sure at first it must be really really hard for us to accept them as who they are, but I’m also sure that when we try to little bit more open and give them a break, everything will going just fine. We need to realize that in some ways, we still have to share our love to those people so that they still feel the love of us—people who believe that God will forgive them. By that, they will not see us as a hypocritical religious people. And by not rejecting LGBT people, I think, there’s nothing wrong with it.

P.S. Share love no matter what :D
