"it not what you have done wrong, but what you think is right that is hurting us."
-quoted from my friend's parents-

I pondered it for a few hours, feeling a mixture of anger, bewilderment and sadness... Its hard to comprehend what a homosexual goes through without being one. But its harder to comprehend how much the people who love him will suffer.

True, "its not what you have done wrong", most people will feel comforted, knowing that their parents are not passing judgment and imposing moral boundaries onto them. After all, homosexuals innately know that, like it or not, its virtually impossible for them to truly like a girl.
- When impossibility is a factor, the lines between morality and immorality disappears.

But the second part was kinda like a wack-over-the-head thing for me. I realized that throughout all these years, I write articles that argue that homosexuality is an acceptable lifestyle and homosexuality is morally acceptable; but all these time, I never really considered how the people around me are affected...

"... but what you think is right is hurting us."

How much hurt do we cause the people who love us?

Imagine, a kid, born in a mafia family, grew up with the mafias, learnt every trick of the trade... but he tells his parents one day that he wants to be a cop, that he wants to fight injustice and crime.

He betrays his family. As much as his parents love him, they can't change his mind, because its morally indistinguishable. However, the shun they will get from their friends and relatives, people gossiping behind their backs...

they'll never be able to lift up their heads high in public again...



everybody gets hurt....

nobody can stop the hurt... in fact, nobody will be able to stop it, because AJs will always be the minority....

well... I guess...
