Blogpost #4: Sexuality

Have you been judge because of your gender?Do you let it get through you? How do you cope up the teasing eyes of the people? Well whatever your gender may be, you have the freedom to express and be it. It doesn't matter what people may think as long you are being yourself. I know some of you will say, "What if we get bullied?" or "What if our community do not accept us?" well those what if's are just holding you back. Be free take risk, save yourself from suffering, be a good example to many.

Here's an article for those people who wants to go out of the closet but is too scared to do it, it's What Is Even More Powerful Than Coming Out? by David Fleischer. this article expresses what power you have when you go out and free yourself to what gender you what to be. Fleischer talks about how they have counted a somewhat survey to many and had a one-on-one talk to the voters on why they have voted for that. Fleischer said "We won't solve the problem of prejudice overnight. Conversations take time. And they aren't a panacea. Some of our fellow human beings will cling to prejudice. Also, our knowledge of how to do this is imperfect. We are still learning.", Here i can say that he got everything right. It takes time for people but eventually they'll get used to it. We can't help it their are many people that are being too judgmental, it's up to us if we'd give a shit about it. It's better if you'd not listen to them. 


For me, it doesn't matter if your gay or straight as long as you know what you're doing. It doesn't matter if you're freely expressing yourself as long as you're not hurting anyone. Forget what people think about you and your beliefs Fleischer made his point and I advise people to read his article also, It will give them some encouragements Fleischer's article will give them confidence and self-esteem. if you're still in the closet, Go out and explore the new world that awaits you.


Next is an article named The context of anti-gay violence by G.M. Herek, the article is quite short but it says many things about heterosexism. Heteroxism is prejudice against lesbian and gay people. herek saidin the article "Supported by these ideological underpinnings, cultural heterosexism fosters anti-gay attitudes provideing a ready-made system of values and sterotypical beliefs that just such prejudice as "natural".", Herek is pointing out the environment theses LGBT people are in. The world is like revolving in prejudices and judgements of people. One can never be satisfied by just watching ads observing, It's like it's a must to say out your opinions and criticism even if it harms the other person. That's the world we are in right now. 

We need to work together if we want to create a world that are sons and daughter may be free to express themselves, Free from the teasing eyes of the people. let's correct everything while we can before its too late. Change is inevitable, we can still do something. Show care for one another because just like us thos LGBT's are part of our world and is a human being too.
