Being a homosexual is, for example, illegal in Saudi Arabia, a country which hosts the two most sacred sites in Islam. The Abrahamic faiths of Christianity and Islam denounce it as a perversion of God’s work and if you were to ask most straight people what they really felt about homosexuals, you’ll find that they think of the homos as a little strange (as a heterosexual guy, I can’t imagine how any “normal” guy would prefer a guy’s anus to a girl’s c***t).įeelings against homosexuality are such that homosexuality is illegal in any part of the world where the political class needs to show its religious credentials. Homosexuality (for the sake of argument, this term will be applied to the L’s, B’s, T’s and Q’s as well as the G’s) has always been a contentious topic. I am, of course, talking about the more extreme religious community.
As much as the LGBTQ community feels the need to celebrate being who they are, there is an equally passionate group of people ready to denounce the month as a symbol of everything wrong with society. Pride is one of those events that stir passions.
This is the time when the LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer) Community gets to celebrate being just that. It’s Gay Pride month around the world and in Singapore, it’s the month that Pink Dot SG falls in.
