Accepting differences.
We live in a country where every one deserves right and equality.We live in Singapore, a country with various colours, beliefs, lifestyles and political ideologies.
If we can live peacefully with these and accept all our differences, why cant we accept different sexes?
Living with the LGBTs.
We live with Malays, Chinese, Indians, Eurasians, Pilipinas, PRCs, FTs, etc.We live with the Muslim, Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Atheist and Jew community.
We live with citizens who supports PAP, DPA, WP, SPP and SDP's ruling.
So why can't we live with the Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals and Transgenders?
Ignorance + Stereotype.
As much as we try to educate our youngsters, they seem to stray further away.
From smoking, unsafe sex, drugs, bullying, stealing, vandalising. It doesnt stop there.
Why the hate?
Do they take your taxes? Do they ask for your money? Do they terrorised malls, places of worships? Do they kill innocent people? Do they take your job oppurtunities? Do they get special treatment? Do they not have to pay tax, loans, erp, gst?So what, what is it that makes you so mad and angry with them.
To the Muslims & Christians.

but instead of organising an event to wear white or spend time with your family.
Why not have an event to educate this people?
Why not gather these people, listen to their stories, understand their side, and love them like how you love your own kind.
Why not educate this people through love, passion and involvement? Why must you educate them through an event where you dress in white.
Both The Holy Books mentioned love, passion, giving, respect and care.
To respect each other.
To not condemn or judge anyone,
To lead the astrays to the right path through passion and love.
To Muslims.
We do not like a single bit when the government thought of banning the wearing of hijab in professional work place.
Why?
Because they are TAKING AWAY OUR RIGHTS AS A MUSLIM,
they are TAKING AWAY OUR LADY'S RIGHTS TO WEAR HIJAB.
Protect your religion & beliefs.
I am NOT trying to say you should accept them fully or stop standing up for your religion and beliefs.Yes we should PROTECT OUR RELIGION. And yes we have to PROTECT OUR BELIEFS.
But STOP SPREADING HATRED. Get involved. Educate them. Lead them back to the right path. Do it in a different manner.
If they think they deserve their rights.
LET IT BE. Ignore their existence if you wish, but DO NOT take away their rights and freedom.
If they go to hell, it's their fault. We did our part, Insyallah Allah will bless us with good deed.
Final note.
I'M JUST VOICING OUT MY THOUGHTS.DON'T HATE ME.

I am not in any side.
I believe in equality.
Be it for humans or animals
Muslim or Jew
Women or men
Straight or gay
Poor or rich
Disabled or abled
I stand for them all.

And who are you to judge that he is not a real Muslim? He might be gay and he performs his 5 daily prayers, fasts and does sunnahs which is definitely better than being straight and not praying, fasting and doing sunnahs.
ReplyDeleteThere is no such thing as being a muslim and gay. If you are experiencing internal conflict about this, please proceed to seek advice and help from ustaz and learned scholars.
ReplyDeleteAgree completely with the article and author. It's about time we speak up no matter what religion we are, everyone deserves freedom
ReplyDeleteGood job with this article! I don't understand why can't people accept the differences. All of us have our own freedom, TO CHOOSE. It's not like LGBT will have a forcefully negative impacts on someone else.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely agree with this article. It needs to be on the paper and media! Good job :-)
ReplyDeleteYou have to understand this article in the right context. What the author is trying to do is to approach this issue from the root of the problem i.e. the ACTS of homosexuality rather than the homosexuals themselves. Don't condemn the gay but condemn the ACTS of being gay. Therefore, we need to approach these homosexuals through education and constructive solutions for them to return to the path of Allah s.w.t. and His Prophets. Even scientists are still struggling with nature vs. nurture on the issue of homosexuality. If it is nature, then we need to inform them the struggle / jihad they need to overcome their nafsu, and encourage them with His Verses.
ReplyDeleteAnyway I do not support the wear white campaign as it is (a) a mere copy of the Pink Dot, and (b) it is still passive in nature as within the vicinity of the mosques. I hope the organizer will reflect back on the repercussion of having this activity. I will only wear white for Jumaat prayers.
DeleteGreat article!
