Queer Sexuality- Myths Busted 2

(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.)

Movies present queers, specially the homosexuals in a different light. These people have become a subject of mockery. In the recent times there have been many movies on the silver screen which presented the queers in a very degrading way and literally mocked them on screen.  

The questions that arise are:


ñ    Shall we really laugh on the person because of his sexual orientation?
ñ    Shall we treat what we are not as demented and sick?
ñ    Shall we really go forward and think that queers are not a part of the 'normal' society and are a group of sex-maniacs?

It is a matter of pity for any sensible citizen and a matter of great embarrassment for a queer. We must understand what is natural and what should not be defined as unnatural. For those of us, who can be counted in laces, who think that queer is a totally westernized concept and is polluting the thinking of the young minds here, this research would be very useful.

The report aims at finding out what does the western and non-western society think about queer sexuality. Moreover, it also focuses on the fact that not only the queer group has been present in the pop culture, but has also been portrayed likewise. I aim at making available all the contemporary and ancient details of queer that may be helpful for the readers to as far the presence of queer in the pop society is concerned.

On a personal level, learning all that these people think while being a part of their groups and trying to  understand their psyche has been an eye-opening experience. One really does not need to peek in the bedrooms of others and decide what they should be doing.

I do not aim to justify the queer movement nor does the report in anyway support the anti-queer movement. However, the report does try to find out what exactly has been the position of queer in the society then and now, and what could be done to maintain harmony between the two groups.
