Gay Is NOT A Disease!

Today I happened to see a clip on Facebook about how many people consider homosexuality to be an epidemic with a high chance of infection. That is, if one person has it, everyone can have it. I feel disgusted that so many sections of society have such thoughts in their heads. Homosexuality is not a disease. Homosexuality should not be labeled with anything because nothing can be said enough about the LGBT+ community. But even if homosexuality is a disease, it is a psychological disease when society stigmatizes and hates them. It is often said that parents give birth to children, and heaven gives birth to nature. Parents give their children the shape, but the child creates the child’s personality over time. My children are gay because they know that they are different from the rest. They do not dare to talk or share with anyone because they are guilty of being hated. Then they live in solitude, love the opposite sex without feelings, and die because they cannot live according to themselves. It is known how many suicides are due to depression for various reasons.

In the video, I saw a scene where the staff members gave the manager an application for leave to go to "gay treatment." All were secretly filmed. When the employees applied to the manager, their reaction shocked and disgusted me with their actions. The staff said that the manager used to call homosexuality a disease, and now that there is a cure, they want to go for it, but the manager disagrees and pours insulting, humiliating, or bitter words on it. those employees. I wonder if they hurt? That's too much damage. I want to jump on the screen and slap those idiot managers in the face.
A few days before, I watched “Boy Erased,” directed by Joel Edgerton. The story is about a young man named Jared Eamons. He was born and raised in a pious family, and his father was a Baptist minister. He was taken to a gay treatment center, hoping that this "incurable" disease would be completely cured. Their treatment is based on faith in God, a supreme being, and therapy sessions that hit a person's psyche. He had to witness horrible things happening in that center. All the practitioners had to undergo cruel treatment sessions to the point of gaslighting, resulting in unfortunate consequences. But the question is, do they get rid of the "sickness"? Of course not because it's not a "disease.” I had to cry while watching that movie.
Parents should also be more open-minded if their child is gay. Don't think that they go out and follow the “f****t.” Oh my god, why don't parents think their children want to be like that? It means the people whose parents call with those insensitive words confidently live according to their true nature, regardless of what they say, disparage, and gossip around. They don't have time for those thoughts. No matter what anyone says, I still live true to myself. They idolize such people, but their antipathy and prejudice against the LGBTQ+ community are so great that their own gay child has no way to open his heart to come out to his parents. They are always afraid their parents won't accept it and may disown them for dishonoring the family. Or they are worried that their parents will force them to give up their homosexual thoughts, drag them to get treatment, or maybe "itchy mouth" to go around and let people around them insult them. Ridiculous. Every parent wants their child to be happy; their mouth always says that their children live according to what they wish to but according to their parents’ arrangement. That's like studying literature in Vietnam. Please write your feelings about this work, the paragraph above, but according to her feelings. Then why does my child want to be true to himself, want to come out openly about his gender, and want to be happy, but parents are against it?
Parents themselves do not realize the absurdity when advising their children to live honestly and live happily. They are gradually pushing themselves away from their children. If your child is under pressure or because of parental hatred because they are gay, their child may seek death. Parents who have lost their lives give birth to a child, teach their children good things, care about their children, and give their children the best things in life, but lack the understanding of their children and the openness to their children. for the children. When they are young, teach them that “when you have a problem in class, you go home and tell your parents, and we will solve it with you,” and “when you have a problem, share it with your parents. with my parents, and my parents always listen to my confidants.” Then avoid scolding your children because that will instill fear in their minds. From there, children can later always feel comfortable talking about delicate things to their parents. Parents should remember that their child's homosexuality is not due to infection or failure to raise their child to the point of letting them "get this disease." But think simply that your child was born like that until they determined their true self one day and came out. Don't hate! Learn more about your children, support them, open up, love them more, and show them that parents care about their children too.
The barrier between the LGBTQ+ community and society is still too great. Racism may still exist now, but it's not as terrible as it was during the Civil Rights era. But LGBTQ+ discrimination will still be there. Now if someone comes out as gay, it's as if they've bet everything they've got in the world on a lose-or-lose gamble. I will list two reasons why the LGBTQ+ community is so hated and discriminated against.
First: It's a sin. I'm not a Catholic or a Christian, so that I won't go into the realm of religion. I have noticed that social media sites often post pictures that say homosexuality is a felony, contrary to what God teaches or what is recorded in the Bible. Pope Francis criticizes laws that criminalize homosexuality as "unjust,” says God loves all His children as they are, and urges Catholic bishops to support welcoming laws for LGBTQ+ people entering the church. The head of the Church also supports the LGBTQ+ community, so why can't everyone do the same? Gay people can also believe in God, they entrust their faith in God. Why should they hate them? If you think homosexuality is a sin now, where is it wrong? Is it wrong for two people of the same sex to love each other? Unfair. They are also human beings, and as children of God, they are also loved by God. No one forbids them to enter the church to do Mass.
Second: They don't accept the type of boy who doesn't make a boy and a girl who doesn't make a girl. RuPaul's drag queen program is top-rated when the boys passionate about the drag queen career are free to unleash their creativity. Or girls who cut their hair short like boys wore very manly clothes and acted like men. But the standard of society is that boys must be strong, and girls must be feminine. It's too old-fashioned to think so. Now in the modern world, there must be a more open view. It is too wrong to say that now social values are reversed. It's just now that boys dress like girls. Even in earlier centuries, there were singers such as David Bowie, the band Kiss, the singer Freddie Mercury of Queen, or Prince. They already dress flamboyantly in their works. Or the movie "To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar," in 1995 with three actors Patrick Swayze, Wesley Snipes, and John Leguizamo, played three drag queens that, at that time, no one objected. Now condemn it. It is not out how!
In Florida, the "Don't say say” bill is like a law that suppresses the LGBTQ+ community. Cruel and cruel. To end this post, I want to say that homosexuality is not a disease. Everyone needs love from the people around them. We don't need hatred, we need more love in this life.
Hi, thank you for sharing your opinion. I am gay and reading this blog talking about how some people treat gay as a disease when they didn't understand a bit about us. It's really great when you address this issue. Yes, I agree with you when you say it is not a disease but if it is, it is mental health of LGBTQ+ community when they're struggling.
