Mak Nyah, Katoy, Gay ...

I read this article in the paper today which triggers my left brain, its a very interesting topic and a very good question to start with, and I pick this question from the article. A transvestite asking 'Since Islam rejects people like me, may I leave Islam ?' 

Homosexuality either man or woman in any religion is not being accepted. If thats the case, then what religion is left for them who choose to live a life that is truth to their feelings, truth to themselves ? Societies keep derogate them and living them little space to move but into a dead end. Most would choose to swing either to the extreme left or extreme right. Only those who choose to live under the eyes of the world will be accepted, this is saddening.

This article talks about how some transvestite being deny working opportunities and force to the street to make ends meet. In every society, every corner of the world there are lotsa and lotsa such cases happening, not only to the man but as well as to the woman. In some western society which are more tolerance and acceptance of human rights, a person is allow to have domestic equality in partnering. Yet it is still not enough, I watch a movie that touches this ever sensitive issue. When 2 person of the same sex decided to spend their live together till death do us part. Its sooo wonderful isn't it when 2 souls found each other, BUT reality is ever so cruel when one party died. The other party is left with no what so ever rights over the other's properties, belongings,assets etc. Think of it, if you just want to keep that house that both of you had been spending 30 yrs together so that you can live in that memory though without the other's presence. Or you just want to keep that piece of sofa that both of you have been sitting all these year. You CAN'T, no law binds you to it ! And it will be given to the 'legal' next of kin which is not the soul mate. Isn't it sad to be deny such a right ? 

It is saddening that a person's right is deny when it is obvious that he/she is aware of his/her feelings. The bonding of 2 souls is such a wonderful experience that can only happen and to share this journey together, bonding in unison and caring for each other, is the ultimately triumphant destiny !

Why are society in so much of hatred and denial, biases towards same sex relationship when one person chooses to live in true and honesty ?
