LGBT: UNIQUE AND BEAUTIFUL
LGBTQ+ is a
community composed of people with unique sexuality. It has been going on for
centuries by centuries yet none of those are more vocal than we have today.
There are cities in the world wherein the LGBTQ+ Community is very much welcome
to expressed who they really are, who they want to be, and to be just
themselves without being judge by people.
One of these
cities is San Francisco, the “Gay Mecca” or well-known as the Gay Capital City
of the World. These people who have this uniqueness in them had been hiding all
along. They never had the chance to find their inner peace, to show the world
what and who they really are. In the letter that Michael sent his mom about his
sexuality, I am genuinely happy for him, I felt proud of him for coming out of
the shell. Not everyone in this world can do what he did. It takes up time and
courage to be able to choose and to express yourself freely in this world. For
me it is one of the beautiful and the greatest transition in life.
Let’s admit
that we cannot actually force people to like LGBTQ+. Issues are spreading worldwide
about this matter that result to unending process of debating in which involves
the rights of each and everyone of us, most especially the members of this
community. One of the recent issues in the Philippines that involve LGBTQ+ is
Gay Marriage/Same-Sex Marriage. As we all know Philippines is very traditional
country. Man for Woman and vice-versa. Our country lives up by the word of the
Bible. According to the church, it is a sin for a man to marry a man and to act
like a woman and same goes with woman yet according also to the law implemented
by the Government of the Philippines, Human Rights Article 1 and 2: Right to
Equality, and Freedom from Discrimination. People disregard these human rights
and still continue to hate the members of LGBTQ+ that may result to worst.
Aside from
that issue, LGBTQ+ is prohibited to legally adopt a kid. This century is
populated that sometimes result to abortion since teens ages from 13-18 years
old is engaging themselves with premarital sex. Some people can’t accept that
the LGBTQ+ will be able to do so. For me it should be approve so that every kid
in this world would experience love despite the fact that their parent’s
abandoned them for lack of money to sustain their needs. Let LGBTQ+ adopt the
kids that had been abandoned for some reason, because they all deserve the love
in this world.
As a student
with the ability to identify what is right and wrong, I am very much aware of
my surroundings that is full of discrimination towards this uniquely-beautiful
people. In order for me to help people like Michael, I would love to accept and
defend them to pea minded people’s opinion. I would be more than ready to
shield them from the harmful words that the others threw them. A student like
me can only open up a word of enlightenment to those people, and I am very much
willing to do so, yet there is some cases that we can’t actually force people
to like them but I know for myself that they are one of the best.
To be honest,
I felt sad for those people who had been hiding their true color to the outside
world, scared to be judged, and scared to be thrown out with opinions that they
always think would bring them down. Acceptance is hard to achieve but with
respect? I think it is much easier for people to accept this LGBTQ+ members. I
conclude that being a gay comes naturally, and I hope in the future, people
will try to accept this beautiful human beings.
