GLBT
Wiki says "LGBT (or GLBT) is an initialism referring collectively to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people।"For a very long time I was unaware of the fact and just wondered what was it ???I guess these were private talks during my childhood when my parents and the people of the generation talked about it in closed rooms away from children and young teens...But with the gradual passage of time,when I was in my 20s and got a chance to be out of home, then only got to know what did all that mean...Even though very frequently heard it in Odiya as Maichiaa and wondered who were they...Have seen them mostly when we travelled by train in my childhood days is what I remember...But these days, children aged 4-5 even know what is all that...Thanks to media...I dont know whether to thank the media literally or not...In the process of educating our children, I sometimes feel they are given more information prior to their age...And these days hindi movies like Dostana,Straight,Dev D bringing up directly the closed rooms topics (as I think) publicly...And people have fun and enjoy it and laugh it off...Seriously this hurts if you give it a thought...Has laughter become so cheap and it sells around these topics...Cant we find other ways to laugh off ???Even if some person is GLBT, doesnt it hurt their feelings...Reserving their rights in the Parliament or electing them to the Assembly or Parliament doesnt solve the matter...Indiviuals need to respect each other keeping all the fun apart since its a matter a of indiviualistic identity,self pride...Then I was wondering where has all this impact come from...In the process of simply imitating the WEST ,where the civilization is completely different along with the cultures,has profound impact on us...My watch list of such movies include the Oscar nominated Philadephia by Tom Hanks, 2009 ,oscar nominated MILK for best feature film and best actor has profound effect on the people here...What hair raising performances by the actors, wht wonderful scripts...State of California and many such states at United States has come up with laws for publicising Gay marriages and their rights...People of this category are fighting hard and people of all catergories respect all that rather making fun of them...One has to realize hard and have to be thoughtful since its not one's own mistake that one is in the category of LGBT but its the Creator...Then who are we to laugh it off or side them off from the society???My nation has to work hard on it as I feel since people are miscommunicated and in the process many families cant be helped to resolve such social issues for the sake of being boycotted...Have to give in some serious thought...
