(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.
