section 377.....its high time

Section 377 - It's high time......

I know it has been a few days now that the infamous section 377 has been revoked and probably many share the same point of view as me..But i will go ahead and put this forward anyways!!! So here goes.....

The way i see it India is a democracy and it has been this way for quite some time now.Forgive me if i am mistaken but in a democracy we have the right to chose our own existence (i know that is a blunt defenition..but that is the best i could come up with),have our own likes and dislikes and above all have our own sense of Individuality.How can all this prevail if our people are not give a chance to chose their sexual orientation??

After all ,even if u like to admit it or not it forms a huge chunk of the kind of person,the social entity,the individual u are isn't it??

But sadly and with shame I have to accept this fact that even though we have been give a fair chance to be free,a fair chance to take our own decision but we keep it all well preserved in some far away corner of our mind and refuse to think beyond the narrow social and in some ways religious boundaries that surround us.

Anyways ......not beating around the bush anymore and coming the gist of the whole conversation-The people who are against this idea say that it isn't natural .They say that it was something that wasn't meant to be,but then all i have to ask is one simple yet very relevant question:

Men i.e. humans weren't supposed to be this way,we were supposed to be savages who ate raw meat (and the occasional green stuff(for the vegetarians out there) ) ,hunt animals,jump from branch to branch like our Ape cousins.Leaving the Evolution theory aside(no offense to Darwin)-we have gone against nature and done countless things for eg. the concrete jungle we live in,the packaged water we drink.,the canned food we eat,the zillion ways in which we strive to live longer and better,the medicines we consume and the ways in which we bring a new life to this world.If we can accept all of this and live happily agreeing with the fact that concrete jungles are in no way nature's brainchild and that we are no longer savages(at least some of us),then why cant some of us digest the fact that our next door neighbor or that "weird" guy we see in the shopping mall has a different way of looking into things.It might seem "un-natural" to most of us but forgive me for saying this it seems natural to him any way he looks at it.We have the right to chose our sexuality,as adults all the of us straight or otherwise have the right to be whatever the want to be and not be bullied by the society or looked down upon by the patronizing eyes that surround us.

We have grown as a country ..prospered as an economy..but still are infants when it comes to the basic things...

all i have to say for those who fought hard to win this battle - i hold u in high regard!!

For the others who still don't accept it as a way of life.... GROW UP!!!
