367 : It's not okay to be Gay?



I know the documentary is a year old, but do take time to watch?..

°°~~~°°o°°~~~°

I have always gotten emails asking for donations or Signatures to help the Ugandans PLUs, usually with "'Kill the Gays' bill" in its topic. Just giving my support in terms of signatures, i never knew the seriousness of the situation there.

The documentary is an hour long, and i'm sure most people wouldn't want to watch it but when you have the time please do.

Everyone says Malaysia's PLU society has always have it bad, same sex couples can't even hold hands or show the slightest amount of affection without being judge or discriminated by glaring eyes but imagine how we already have it good that we don't have to live in fear we of being found out.

Imagine being gay will get you a life imprisonment or even a death penalty?


Watching the whole documentary gave me a mixture of depression, sympathy and frustration.

Depressed
that everyone there share the same hatred towards the Gays.I know the documentary wouldn't reflect 100% on what is happening in Uganda but even from the little bit showed, there is no signs of change anytime soon. Just thinking about the people around me, its really obvious that most young adults and teens are okay with gays while the hatred and fear stays with the older generations or the really religious. At least when the older generations "expeires", a new more open minded generations will take over.

Sympathy seeing how badly the gays got in there. Being gay loses you your family and friends immediately. Pity them after seeing their living conditions and their fear.

If you watched the documentary till the around the 44th min, tell me if you get frustrated. Just speechless and annoyed seeing how their mentality is fixed towards the gays. They even have newspapers that publish names  of gay people. Imagine seeing your name on the newspaper with the word "gay" plastered on your face?..

Okay. I shall stop ranting now..

If you are reading this just take a moment and appreciate what you have.
Love what you got. =D

  3. This is depressing, but it is honestly not the worst I've seen. The very sad fact is: for the better part people like us are still persecuted, hunted, and condemned on a daily basis. Some of our brothers and sisters have got it worse than us and that just makes it worse. In another documentary I watched, I saw priests screening gay porn at their sermons to incite a religious blood lust among the congregation! People are expected to label gay people and "out" for purposes of imprisonment. Or worse! People who know of gay and lesbian individuals but do not out them can face similar or more severe punishment. There are so many things wrong with many of these countries... politics, conservation, animal rights, gangs... but this is truly one of the worst.

  4. It's really sad to see LGBT being stigmatised and treated as if they are not human beings at all. As a straight, I hate it when people discriminate others because of their sexuality. Not like they are saints or whatsoever--sometimes their personalities are even much more miserable.

    Can't do much besides giving words of support to you and other friends out there. JIA YOU JIA YOU!
