Love is something I wish was a piece of cake but sadly it isnt. It is very complicated and it has a lot of versions of it, each one of them beautiful in their way. However, there will always be people who will never find these different versions beautiful and try to change and twist love into something that they think love should be like. And they dont matter because no one is entitled to anyones happiness or the people they choose to love. Love is love. And thats the most beautiful thing ever.
to hate is an easy lazy thing but to love takes strength everyone has but not all are willing to practice (Rupi Kaur 2017, The Sun and Her Flowers).
Everyone has rights. You, me; everyone. You and I have Human Rights. Human Rights, what does it mean? Does it mean that we; humans are always right? Or, is it like a certificate that proves youre a human? No. It means exactly as it sounds. Human rights are these fundamental rights and freedom that are given to individual human beings in the world regardless of their skin color or gender or nationality or any other status.
But, human rights do not stop from there. The list goes on from its philosophy to the laws surrounding it. They are all based on the belief that every human being deserves respect as an equal. No one is above anyone. Its human rights for everybody, there is no difference. Live on and be yourself. (Haggerty, Lambert, and Lewis, 2013)
Sexual orientation and gender identity is a part of human nature and it should never lead towards violence (Reuters, 2013). Human rights ensure to protect that as well.
As said, there are two types of humans in the world – male and female. But, these days that concept has been a little outdated due to the open acceptance of the other gender; apart from the stereotypical male and female , which is generally known as the third gender. You might be thinking, isnt male and female sex? The answer is yes, male and female are sex as well as gender. Arent they the same thing? No, theyre not.
Sex refers to biological differences whereas gender is a social creation. You are born a male or a female but the roles that you take up later in life define your gender. Society loves confining everyone in gender norms because of the said persons sex. For example, a male must be masculine and outgoing and a female must be domestic and sensitive. Gender roles had been defined by sex and also by society has existed for a long time.
Now, there are cases where gender roles arent according to their respective sex. In such cases, a born male tends to fall more into the characteristics and roles of a female in their later period of life despite their sex or vice versa. This sort of action or sexuality is homosexuality, which is the exact opposite of heterosexuality. So, the question is whether this behavior is a social taboo or a natural phenomenon.
LGBTQ or LGBTI or LGBT is an umbrella term referring to en masse of people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, questioning, and/or queer. A lesbian is someone who identifies as a woman and who experiences romantic and sexual attraction toward another female. Likewise, a gay is someone who identifies as a man and has an emotional, sexual attachment to some other men. Gay is also used as an umbrella term to identify some lesbians and queer folk. Bisexuals are people who like both males as well as females. Other identities such as ‘pansexual’ and ‘demisexual’ may have a similar explanation. Transgender or trans is a broad umbrella term, that’s used to describe people whose gender identity is different from the sex assigned at their birth. Intersex is people that are born with sex characteristics that do not fit typical gender binary notions of male or female bodies. Queer is an umbrella term used to refer to the LGBTQ community as well as an identity that advocates snapping binary thinking and seeing both sexual orientation and gender identity as possible fluid.
LGBT rights are as important as any rights. There was a time when LGBT was a bad thing. But, its 2018, and the world is much more than white boys. The world is colorful, LGBT, women in power, and equality. LGBT community, whove had to fight so much in the past. There are people, over the years, who have chosen to withstand harassment and hatred. People who have been through violence and had been killed. And not because they wanted to be different, but because theyd rather die than pretend to be something theyre not (SKAM,2016).
According to Fabrice Houdart (2018), in almost a lot of countries, you will find some kind of LGBT movement. But then again, there are a lot of politicians who use LGBT as a pawn to gain benefits from their citizens.
He also says that the LGBT community around the world knows that they deserve the same opportunities, rights, and levels of dignity as everyone else (2018). The importance of LGBT rights is that, with the world changing, there will always be hate. And homophobia and transphobia are harsher and more substantial than any other hate.
Religion plays a vital role in homosexuality, and sometimes homophobia as well. ‘Whatever god you believe in, we come from the same one. Strip away the fear underneath it’s all the same love’, (Haggerty, Lambert, and Lewis, 2013).
The thing is no one can use the name of God as a reason to start hate. God wants the same thing as we do, that we all want equality and we’re all his children he’ll love us no matter what. People will try to legitimize their hate on behalf of religion, don’t believe them. Because hate doesn’t come from religion, it comes from fear.
‘And love is love is love is love, cannot be killed or swept aside.’ – Lin Manuel Miranda. ( Tony Awards, 2016).
