LGBT – CONTINUED
WHAT PARLIAMENT CAN DO NOW
This article is the sequel to the earlier article in
this Blog on the same subject. The Supreme Court of India has rightly thrown
the ball back into the Court of the Parliament where it rightly belongs - on
the LGBT issue.
What the Parliament will do now - is anybody's Guess.
LGBT includes four categories of people :
Lesbian
(women) : Wikipedia
says : “Lesbian is the term most widely used in the English language to
describe romantic or sexual attraction between women. The word may be used as a
noun, to refer to women who identify themselves or who are characterized by
others as having the primary attribute of female homosexuality, or as an
adjective, to describe characteristics of an object or activity related to
female same-sex attraction.”
My
comments : I have no great
objection to Lesbianism as such. But, I strongly feel that it arises initially,
out of normal sex instincts. When a young girl comes of age, sex instincts do
arise in her. But, there are, many times genuine fears in aligning with a male –
due to social constraints and also due to fears of pregnancy, rape etc.
Also, in certain supporting surroundings like a ladies
Hostel where 2 girls are given a single room etc, when both feel sex instincts,
they may initially get into what is normally called FOREPLAY in hetero sex –
and enjoy it also. Since there are no side-effects in this as in hetero sex,
they may get accustomed to it. Then, whenever they go out of the initial birth
place of Lesbianism in them, they may start searching for lesbian partners once
again.
Thus, change of rooms, change of partners may go on
happening frequently in their lives. Unlike a Husband-wife relationship, where
the Partners are fixed for LIFE, there is no such life-long fixation of
partners. Out of sight-out of mind- find new ones – is likely to be the norm.
We find placards – LOVE ISN’T A CRIME. Yes. Love is not a Crime. But,
Lesbianism is not LOVE. It is Sex. It is physical attraction. But, Hetero sex
has components of pure love plus physical attraction both.
A confirmed Lesbian’s search for new partners in new
places does involve problems for other women who are Hetero-sexuals. It involves unnatural , unacceptable
behaviours, which are not immediately detected by the other person. But, a
softer approach by the partner may turn the hetero sexual woman into
Homo-Lesbian. The aggressive, LOVE-LESS, sexist approach of many Boys in
current days may also turn away girls from Hetero sex into Homo-sex. Therefore,
the causative factors merit great attention and perhaps, right education,
inculcating respect towards other sex and mutual help, and strong sentiment
against violence against women may tend
both boys and girls towards Hetero-friendships, which are socially better.
Despite this, I feel, Lesbianism is generally harmless
and should not be considered a crime. My general feeling is – all ladies
Hostels and such other places exclusive for women, must either have single
rooms or rooms accommodating 4 or more females – but not rooms for just two
females which could turn normal heterosexuals, including happily married ones
into lesbianism, under the overtures of a confirmed Lesbian.
Gay (Men) : Wikipedia
says : “Gay is a term that primarily refers to a homosexual person or the
trait of being homosexual. The term was originally used to refer to feelings of
being "carefree", "happy", or "bright and showy".
The term's use as a reference to homosexuality may date as early as the late
19th century, but its use gradually increased in the 20th century.In modern
English, gay has come to be used as an adjective, and as a noun, referring to
the people, especially to males, and the practices and cultures associated with
homosexuality.”
GAYISM is more disturbing than Lesbianism. GAYISM has
been reported many times in respect of BOYS’ Hostels, where either bigger boys
or the Male wardens force young, hapless, helpless boys into Gay sexual
Behaviour. It was reported in the press many times and is common knowledge.
This means that GAYISM – is not always a genetic Phenomenon – but is
unnaturally acquired in such BOYS’ Hostels also – either from Bigger Boys or
from Male wardens also. There are certain unnatural sex behaviours in GAYISM,
like ANAL SEX, which may be forced on such younger Boys, by the older boys or
the Male wardens, who ,when they become Bigger Boys may force other smaller
Boys into it. This is happening and cannot be denied, as it has been reported
frequently in the press also.
So, while part of GAY Behaviour may be Genetic – part
of it is certainly acquired in such incidents. Many times, GAY BEHAVIOUR may be
criminal behavior also, being forced on hapless, helpless younger boys,
who have no one to complain to.
It is also reported in the previous article that the
Government itself has told the Apex Court that there is Huge incidence of HIV
among such persons.
Can the Parliament take hasty decisions based on the strident
demands of LGBTs – ignoring the fact that at least a part of LGBT behavior is
forced and not Genetic.
Also, I have mentioned the incident which happened in
my own life in the previous article. A train driver abandoned the Engine, came
into the first compartment and was trying to indulge in Gay sexual behavior with
me when I was hardly 14-15 years of age. I ran away as fast as I could, at the
very next station, far away from this GAY man. Therefore, based on my own
personal experience, I know that GAY BEHAVIOUR does give problems to other male
children – and eventually turn them also into GAY behavior.
When a confirmed GAY is either transferred to another
place or has to go on tour to distant places, his sexual instincts are still in-tact
and in all probability, he will be searching for another GAY among the hetero sexual.
This search by the GAY person among Hetero sexuals is what I would strongly
object to.
GAYs and LESBIANS can and do change partners when they
have to change their places of stay or their partners have to change their
places of stay. Is this sexual behavior or LOVE?
Consensual sex behavior is not what I am against. But,
search for partners among heterosexuals and changing partners with change of
places is what I am objecting to.
In the olden days, in India, we used to talk of DEEP
FRIENDSHIPS among Males, and among FEMALES (exclusively). But, friendship
between a Male and a Female was not encouraged, since this could turn into
sexual behavior any day. Instead, males and females were encouraged to form
Brother-sister relationship, Father-daughter relationship, Mother-son
relationships and so on. We don’t talk of such deep , lasting, socially
healthy, secure friendships any more. We always talk in terms of sexual
relationships. This is the problem. GAY – is sexual. LESBIAN is sexual. The
very terms are sexual in nature. LOVE
even among them, if it exists, is divine always.
In India, even a 90 year old man is supposed to call
even a 5 year old girl as Maa, or, mother. A Boy must always treat any girl as
Mother or sister which are socially healthy and enduring relationships. But,
looking at even the same sex person merely as a sexual partner is not a healthy
relationship. Also, searching for sex partners among the same sex person – is a
problem for other persons.
Should it be treated as a crime or Not? Any person,
trying to induce any other person, whether of same sex or different sex, into
sexual behavior must be treated as crime.
What of consensual behavior in private between two
mature Individuals? That, of course, is their purely private matter – and not a
crime. Unless, one or both of them are married already to some others! Then,
the least to be said is – it is IMMORAL.
The other categories of LGBTs, I am not discussing much.
Bi-sexual – inherently means sex with more than one person – it is Immoral.
Transgender – is perhaps a natural problem; a genetic problem. It needs all
sympathy.
In Parliament, we all know that, many bills get passed
without much discussion and when most MPs are absent from the House. Of late,
voters vote in large numbers, much above 70% and some times more than 90% also.
But, our vote getters, our representatives in Parliament and State legislatures
tend to pass many crucial bills with far lesser percentage of polling / votes.
Will they change now?
In General, I do not prefer making Lesbianism or GAYISM
into a crime as such. But, I do prefer Parliament making legislation in such a
way that these behaviours are not encouraged and in such a way that people
already GAY or LESBIAN do not spread their behavior to other Hetero sexual.
PS : What US or UK does in such matters is not a Guide-Post for India always. India can set healthier examples. Many developed countries have hugely declining Populations - thanks to their un-thought-out policies.
