Queer Sexuality- Myths Busted 14

(This post is a part of the series Queer Sexuality-Myths Busted. A small, not all inclusive research project i did in college. I am hereby presenting a few portions of that research work so that more and more people become aware of Queer Sexuality and start seeing it in positive light.)


Queer is not new to the humans. Our sacred texts, our gods and heroes have all seen it and been a part of it. The matter of the fact is that we are not able to find out the true roots of queer sexuality.

Queer something that has always been a part of the all the living creations of god. Not only humans, but animals from all phylum exhibit a similar homosexual behavior, which makes queer not only natural but acceptable as well.

Moreover, there are no evidences that suggest that queer sexuality or alternate sexual orientation is a disease of the mind or the body. There are medically proven differences between the genetic makeup, physiological structure and mental makeup of the traditional and alternate sexuality, but the difference is not as great that could make it a strong evidence against queer being a crime.

Mostly, we find that queer is nothing but a matter of individual preferences in adulthood that are gained through either a natural orientation or certain sexual or asexual experiences i.e. the conditioning in the childhood. Therefore, there are no reasons to condemn the queer community for being who they are.

Another point to be noticed is that the queer people never stay behind their counterparts. In fact they are found to be more creatively driven and intellectual according to some studies. This proves that it is almost worthless judging people and their qualities on the basis of their sexuality.
Most of the people consider the queer community as a group of sex hungry people who have lost all their morals and ethics to a worthless desire. This however is no true. One's sexual preferences do not define the capabilities or caliber of a person in other fields of life. Therefore there should be no discrimination and the people should learn to tolerate something that is not usual.

There are certain things in life that may not be usual or common, but are completely natural. One such thing is the queer community. No wonders that our cinema has taken one step ahead in showing the pain and the lives of these people. A large part of the media sits unaware of the hot topic that they are discussing. In most of the debates that take place over news channels, we normally find numerous people sitting together, having conflicting views, who talk more about their personal perceptions rather than the concrete facts that should rule the conversation.

In most cases, we find a noisy clatter of people who start from scratch and land back again at scratch. Therefore, it is essential for us to understand what we are talking about and as responsible media personalities, it not only is our right to know all about what we are doing, but also our duty in playing our part as saviors to a global movement for the right of the queer community.
