Very unique case

I just read about this unique custody battle of a 2 year old child who has three parents. The three parents have not being named in order to protect the boy’s identity & they live in central London.

The story goes something like this: the gay father was a sperm donor but he made a pact before the child was conceived that he would have limited parental rights but now he has filed a case against the lesbian couple since he wants to spend more time with his son. He was also married to the mother but it was a marriage of convenience & now they are both divorced. Actually all three of them were friends when they made that pact. The breakdown of the friendship has had the result that the boy is spending far more time away from his primary parents than they had anticipated.

Let’s see what happens but I believe all three of them should think about the child now before they think about themselves. The kid is the one who will suffer in the long. There’s no harm in having three parents as long as they all behave as adults. It’s not right on the part of the father to take them to court & demand full parental role after signing a pact when he was their close friend. However, his lawyer says that he has no desire to undermine the role of the mother and her partner as the boy’s primary parents, but he wants sufficient contact with the boy to enable a ‘developing relationship’ with his only son. I believe there is no harm in it but people love to fight over things. The couple had been left with a sense of ‘bitterness and betrayal’ & they wish they had opted for an anonymous sperm donor. I think all of them need to look at the entire picture & think about the future of the child, which is more important than developing grudges.

Well but I wouldn’t call it a modern custody battle as the media is calling it just because people involved in it are lesbians & gays. This case is about the well being of a child & I just hope the right decision is taken. As it is, I feel sorry for the kid. He’s the only one who will suffer. In the beginning, he won’t even understand why he has three parents, to begin with.

A child needs the love of both mother & father. When he/she sees them fighting all the time, it has a bad impact & it’s pretty deep too. Ask anyone who has seen parents fighting all their lives. You don’t believe in that relationship ever even if God tells you that it might work for you. However, this particular case is an unusual one but they were all friends, so they can come up with a solution.

Judging & Hating

There are a couple of things that do bother me from time to time. Bitching might be healthy to some extent but one can’t say this about hating & judging. And some mortals very conveniently kill the person they can’t stand. I’m sorry to say but Only abnormal people can have issues with beliefs & choices of another person.

I do support LGBT & the main reason is that I don’t see the point as to why someone should be bullied for a personal reason. I also don’t see the point of judging these people. I don’t care what they do is normal or abnormal. I just feel it’s wrong on the part of people to bully them to the extent that they end up coming suicide. After all, we are not God.

I was not shocked when I read about Stuart Walker’s murder. In fact this guy was beaten, tied to a lamppost & burned alive. The reason for this madness was his sexuality. He was gay & so some people thought they might as well kill him. One can neither be amazed or shocked. All we know is that some people hate so much that they have no problem in killing anyone who is not like them.

Jamie Hubley was a 15 year old kid & he was open about his sexuality. Naturally he was bullied on the net as well as in school for being gay. This teenager committed suicide. He also used to run a blog named “You Can’t Break…When You’re Already Broken.” He was very young & the name of the blog clearly suggests he was hurt beyond repair.

School life was not just difficult but unbearable. They used to call him vicious names in the hallways & online. He wrote on his blog:

"I hate being the only open gay guy in my school… It f***ing sucks, I really want to end it. Like all of it, I not getting better there’s 3 more years of high school left, I’ve been on 4 different anti -depressants, none of them worked. I’ve been depressed since january, How f***ing long is this going to last. People said “It gets better”. Its f***ing bull****. I go to see psychologist, What the f*** are they suppost to f***ing do? All I do is talk about problems, it doesn’t make them disappear?? I give up."

These are 2 just examples but there have been innumerable victims. Some have been killed & some prefer committing suicide rather than leading miserable lives. I have often heard & read that it’s a choice to be gay or normal. But I think it is something natural. How can you help being attracted towards someone specific? Anyhow it’s disgusting how people kill in the name of God-knows-what. They kill you for having different views. They kill you if they believe you are a sinner. They kill as if they are deriving some sort of satisfaction. It’s all very ugly & low.

Lady Gaga Talks About Malaysian Censorship

Lady Gaga is not happy to know that the Malaysian government is censoring her song "Born This Way" because the country consists of conservative majority of Muslims who don't accept LGBT rights.

In Malaysia, homosexuality is taboo and illegal. Many Islamic groups there consider her song's lyrics "No matter gay, straight, or bi, lesbian or transgendered life" to be very offensive. As a result of this, many of the concerts have been cancelled and often the organizers are fined later for contravening laws governing modesty. Broadcasters have been fined 10,000 pounds for playing her song as well in Malaysia.

Lady Gaga spoke openly about the Malaysian censorship issue regarding her song. She said that the youth of Malaysia should fight for their rights and make their voices heard if they want to hear these words from her song. She said one must fight for liberation from the set rules in a peaceful way.

Well, I am pretty ok with somebody else's sexual orientations and accept LGBT rights. I understand everybody may not be so cool about these things. But I think every society will take time to realize these things are a reality even if laws or religions prohibit such stuff. Even in countries like Malaysia LGBT community would exist quietly. I feel one is gay or lesbian or straight by nature. What's so special if you are straight but your friend is gay? At the end of the day we are all humans. Do we judge someone on the fact that he is gay or lesbian or if he is a decent human being or not?

These are natural things and people should understand that. Anyhow, there is no harm in playing a song because sexual preferences do not depend on such lyrics rather her lyrics merely talk about the general acceptance of people no matter how they are. The bigger and better picture is missed by focusing on individual words like lesbians or transgender etc.

War Against Corrective Rape Is Going Strong!

A small group of lesbian activists from the poverty-stricken townships of Cape Town walked into South African parliament on Monday and convinced their government to finally start fighting the country’s decades-old scourge of "corrective rape" -- where men rape lesbian women to "turn" them straight. .

Late last year, these activists called on the world to help them pressure their leaders to take action on corrective rape. People from over 163 countries signed up petitions to help them out.

Three and a half months later, they succeeded. Teaming up with 23 major South African organizations, they got some of the most powerful officials in the country to agree to bring together various government arms and civil society groups to develop and implement a national action plan to combat corrective rape.

The ministry officials asked for details of specific cases in need of immediate attention, committed to a series of meetings beginning in six weeks, and promised to present concrete proposals to prevent corrective rape by the next meeting.

The petitions by people from all over the world led to the international press coverage of the campaign, taking corrective rape from an unspoken epidemic to a prominent international issue. In the last two weeks alone, the campaign against corrective rape has been covered by Time Magazine, the Washington Post, USA Today, Houston Chronicle, San Francisco Chronicle, Philadelphia Inquirer, Boston Globe, Miami Herald, Seattle Times, ABC News, CBS News, NBC News, Fox News, MSNBC, Dan Rather, Forbes, Yahoo! News, Salon, and dozens of global outlets from Taiwan, Indonesia, Australia, Canada, Spain, and even a Finnish tabloid.

It’s an astounding victory, far beyond what we ever could have imagined when we set out late last year. Please sign up the following petition to continue building up pressure on the government against corrective rape.

Take Action Here.
