born this way

This is the 2nd thing in my mind that better be put in word.

There had been an uproar yesterday and today about the guideline released by the MOE on how to identify gay and lesbian and should be used as an early preventive step to combat these 'illness'. Even the straightest of my friends were totally against such absurdity and called it a total discrimination.

What I want to share here is a news given to me by Momo couple of weeks ago.

In summary, it's about a world-renowned psychiatrist who apologized for publishing a paper in 2001 claiming that it is possible to 'cure' people of their homosexuality. At that particular time, some did question his methodology in carrying out the research as it was subjected to deception and lie by the participant though he shrugged it off. Because of that, religious group started to implement reparative therapy to shoo away this sickness out of gay people in their community.

It is a glad tiding when he retracted back his research but at what cost? The damage is done to lot of innocent guys out there, psychologically or emotionally. Just how long it gonna take before the society realized that nobody choose to be one, to be hated by family and friend, to live a secluded life, unable to express his true feeling and love. This is not a life anyone would choose to if they are ever given a choice.

My prayer goes to they that were discriminated because of their sexual orientation.

Lots of love,
me
