i think what everyone's searching for in life, is nothing else but happiness.

when Jo gets her chick-lit, she's happy.
when I get my daily dose of chocolate, i'm happy.
when Sara writes her GSR fanfic, she's happy.
when Jack gets his hands on anything electronic, he's happy.
when Ronan gets to run around in class and acquire a huge gash above his eye, narrowly escaping partial blindness, he's happy.

who are we to deny someone's happiness?
for 'normal' individuals like us, it's usually happiness all the way lest those rare sad moments choose to appear in life(self-induced emoness is a no-no here).

unfortunately, not everyone has such a privilege.
who? you might ask.
'abnormal' people. people who induce alarm and apprehension, the unknown. people most of earth's population would label as disgusting, filthy, against the laws of nature. people loathed for who they are.

lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender/transsexual people.
you name it, they'd (most probably) hate it.



the recent transgender pageant raid appalls me. of course, the law is the law. it's illegal in malaysia - there's no denying that. but, there's always the bigger picture to look at.

disregarding malaysian law, it's a clear violation of human rights.
religion? give it a break. god would love everyone equally nonetheless.
against the laws of nature, hmmm... who ever set those laws anyway?

LGBT are just like us. they dont have bushy tails, three eyes or green skin. their lifestyle might certainly be different compared to ours, but nobody has the right to meddle in their personal affairs nor the right to hurt them for who they are.

ever heard of people getting injured/killed because of their sexual orientation? they're called hate crimes. discrimination. forget the movies and novels, this happens everyday - just like how murders, kidnappings and rapes happen every second. people say, to avoid all this, is to forgo being one's true self. but as the very 'hip' saying goes, i'd rather be hated for who i really am than to be loved for who i am not. to do this, is to deny one's own happiness. and that's not what i would agree with because happiness is of the utmost importance to me. so yes, whatever it takes to be happy, i'd do it. but then, if it involves killing people and animals (bad stuff; you get what i mean), i'd rather be unhappy. lol

people hate because they are afraid. the weird thing is, that hate and amount of scrutiny murderers, serial killers, rapists and whatnot are up against pale in comparison to the treatment non-heterosexual people get. it's even apparent in the news, i.e. the whole anwar ibrahim sodomy case overshadowing other more pressing issues in the country. what's the big hoo-ha anyway? ohhh. closeted gay? anwar? sheesh, like i care. but sodomising a non-consensual individual? now that's a different matter altogether. yes, i acknowledge its significance and importance, especially considering the fact that it happened right here in my beloved islamic country, but would you care when there are poor people to feed, homes to be built, real criminals to be caught and economic crises to be averted? as a matter of fact, it's just another criminal case to be dealt with. if it didnt involve such a prominent political figure, i doubt it would have generated this much buzz. more could certainly be done when everyone gets their priorities straight.

now, horror of all horrors: adding religion into the picture.
i'm not going to talk about the religious aspect to all of this. it's just too confusing - contradictory to what i personally believe.








love is universal and it knows no boundaries.
and yes, i believe, truly believe that.
