LGBT and Human Rights

The existence of LGBT people in society is a fact. Legally, some countries legalize their status, while the majority of others still do not. What influences someone to become LGBT? There's a whole range of hypotheses, from the viewpoint of genetic, psychological, psychosocial, and personal experience. It is too long to write here, so please read it on the internet. The logical question is, who doesn't want to have a normal family (father, mother and biological children)? Sometimes I can understand that people who experience same-sex sexual desire are not their logical choice.

LGBT people demand their rights using human rights arguments. Meanwhile, the majority use arguments that apply in society. Indeed, this is a complex phenomenon, like between liberals and conservatives.

So, what is my view on this phenomenon? Well, I was born and raised in eastern culture, a religious society. But I tend to think moderately. Personal freedom of LGBT people in society to live and earn a living shouldn't be limited (equal rights in terms of human rights).

But I don't want them to be over privileged or promoted on every corner, like election campaign or propaganda, let alone promoting their sexual deviance to children. Other people who follow the laws, norms, religion and customs that apply in society (public rights) also have the right to protect their children. So, personal freedom (be it freedom of speech or expression) should not be placed above public rights. There are no absolute human rights and freedoms of speech (without limits). The limits are the rights of other people (public rights).

However, human civilization is dynamic following its times. Who knows, one day, LGBT will become the "new normal" in the future of society's life. I guess that day will come if scientists can scientifically prove that LGBT people have genetic disorders from birth. This will give rise to a new scientific argument that being LGBT is not their choice. But, if that day has come, how will religion respond to it?

    Aku cukup "akrab" dengan LGBTQ. Salah seorang keluargaku (dari keluarga suami tanteku, terhubung karena pernikahan), yang kupanggil "Uu" (Uak) adalah seorang transpuan. Beliau sudah almarhumah dan semasa hidupnya banyak sekali kenangan manis yang ditinggalkan, termasuk memotong rambutku karena beliau punya salon. Dulu sebagai anak-anak aku melihatnya sebagai hal yang normal, beliau sama seperti tante-tanteku yang lain. Dan setelah dewasa aku jadi merasa beruntung karena mengerti bahwa gak semua orang itu sama dan ya, transpuan itu ADA. Aku jadi belajar untuk gak cepat menghakimi dan hanya menilai orang dari dalamnya saja wheter dia transpuan, gay, bi atau apapun itu.

    Tapi ya, aku juga setuju jangan sampai over privilaged, karena menurutku sexual preference itu BUKAN untuk dipromosikan.

    Selamat Lebaran, maaf lahir dan batin ya.

      Hello Indi, terimakasih sudah berbagi pengalaman Anda. Ya, mereka perlu diperlakukan layaknya manusia. Sedihnya, disini kaum waria sering dibully.
      Selamat Lebaran juga buat Indi & Shane, semoga bahagia.

    Hak mencari nafkah memang tidak dibatasi, tapi hak merusak lingkungan itu harus ditumpas, hehe... Maaf agak sok keras. Ini hanya sekadar penyemangat.

      Artikel menarik. Ga bisa diingkari kalau mereka ada, sebagai sesama manusia ya perlakukan selayaknya manusia, tapi kalau sudah mulai kampanye, bahaya. Setuju hukum yang dilakukan di Rusia. Btw kalau tanya lingkungan apa yang dirusak, bantu jawab saja. Banyak baca kasus di negara di mana hal semacam ini dibebaskan ya. Ada kenalan dan org tua di negara bebas itu bagaimana mereka khawatir karena kampanye masif bahkan sampai di sekolah2. Anak-anak seusia dini diminta mempertanyakan tentang gender dan orientasi seksual. Kebingungan gender, dsb impactnya nggak kecil, jadi tetap percaya apa yang digariskan alam memang sudah seharusnya berjalan seperti itu, bukan disimpangkan. Hanya sekedar pendapat, tidak diterima ya tidak mengapa. Lets agree to disagree.

    Some people said LGBTQs are psychological and orientation about sex, they are surely having human being and human rights as well.

    LBGT bukan penyakit yang harus disembuhkan. Tetapi merupakan suatu pilihan yang mereka ambil sendiri. Ini pendapat saya yang tidak berdasarkan teori ilmiah. Hehe...

    benar sih sekarang lgbt itu seperti dipaksa sebagai normal di kehidupan kita

    apalagi ke anak kecil
    miris sekarang
    hampir segala aspek disusupi paham ini
    mau ditolak tapi mereka eksis

Understanding political from human nature

When Soviet Union was strong, they were labeled with all negative things that is related to socialism (stigmatized). Perhaps because the "eastern" European power were seen as a threat to western domination. No political attack at all on China at that time because China still weak, poor, called as bicycle country, so not considered as a threat. But when China began to advance rapidly, moreover approaching USA, they began to be perceived as a threat to western domination. The revival of the "eastern" world in Asia which was firstly represented by Japan, then South Korea, was not considered as a threat because both of them willing to follow western styles and patterns. Unlike China who want to stand out with their own distinctive style and patterns. This was considered as a threat to western domination. The game of thrones . Yes, that is true. History has recorded abundant stories of power struggles that ended in blood. Just look at it. No intense competition between t...

The inner voices when I am get old

One day in January 2010, I visited my grandfather (father of my mother) and my grandmother (grandmother of my wife). I can feel how happy they are with my presence, as well as myself. I can see despite their spirit remain alive but I can not deny that their physical ability has decreased naturally. So I start to think how if I'm getting old like them. While thinking of it, suddenly my mind remembered a touching story that was discovered by my family. Whatever I have feel and imagine, I pour it into this post. Hopefully your love to the elderly and your parents will be more. When I'm get old. When I spilled vegetable broth on my clothes, when I no longer remember how to tie a tie, when I no longer remember how to tie shoelaces, remember the time how I teach and guide you to do that. While I am senile and constantly repeating the word that bores you, please be patient to listen to me, do not interrupt me, in the days of your childhood, with affection I kept repeating a fairy tale...

Dilemma in vaccination

COVAX is a WHO program to ensure the availability and accessibility of the COVID-19 vaccine worldwide in a fast, fair and equitable manner. As we know, only a few countries are capable of producing the Covid-19 vaccine. This initiative sounds ideal for many poor and developing (and non-producing) countries. Presently Covid-19 vaccine has become something contested by many countries, much more valuable than any drugs. Because it can be used as the " game changer " in economical and political matters. Will the producing countries are willing to provide adequate amounts of vaccine for other countries while their people really need it . Well, how do you think about that? I think, if the herd immunity only occurs in a few countries, then this pandemic will not end, which at the end will worry you constantly in doing business activity with other countries. You can not alone, righ? Please read the news about the worries of rich countries hoarding Covid-19 vaccine and the wealthy ...
