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...

Tacit knowledge

Frankly, this is the most difficult topic for me to write about. This is something abstract, not easy to express or formulate in written or verbal form. But I tried to express it in this post. When I was in junior high school, I was told that knowledge consisted of two main branches, namely exact and non-exact knowledge, as I mentioned in a previous post . Simply, I refer to it as logical and illogical knowledge, the two inseparable abilities which actually united and embedded within humans as I mentioned in the other previous post . I think those two posts can stimulate our minds on how to understand Tacit knowledge. There are two main realms. The first realm refers to the science of mathematics, physics, chemistry, computer programming, etc., which can be coded/formulated, where the result is logically certain. The second realm refers to social sciences, politics, psychology, philosophy, art, etc., which cannot be coded/formulated with a definite formula. Lately I have heard the term...

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...

Triple Filter Test

In ancient Greece, Socrates was known to have great knowledge and was very honorable. One day, a woman met him and said, "Do you know what I just heard about your best friend?" "Wait a moment," Socrates answered; "Before you tell me anything, I will give you a simple test called the Triple Filter Test." The first filter is TRUTHFULNESS: "Are you sure that what you are going to tell me is true?". "No, actually, I JUST HEARD ISSUES about it," the woman replied. "Good," said Socrates. "So you're not sure it's true? Ok, now I'll give you the second filter." The second filter is GOODNESS: "Is what you are going to say about my friend something good?" "No, quite the opposite..." answered the woman. So, Socrates continues, "you will tell something bad about him, but you are not sure whether it is true. Well, you still have one more chance; there is still one more filter, namely the third...
