Metro Incident & Karmic Principle

Today, while going to office, I saw a couple (a heterosexual one) seated in crowded metro train. The girl was feed wafers to the boy by her own hands and no one seemed to be taking note of this. She was occasionally touching the cheeks of the boy and  putting her head on his left shoulder. Everyone in that crowded metro compartment was calm, as if nothing worth noticing was happening. It reminded me of those two occasions where two similar incidents invited more than a normal attention of people. One incident occurred 2 years ago when one of my colleague stared a gay couple who was waiting for the metro train at the platform and one of them was feeding chocolates to the other (Let me also mention that the boys were cute and were behaving very decently). The way he was staring them was so full of disgust and unbecoming of a ‘normal’ person that I had to intervene.  In the second incident a gay couple was travelling in a metro train which was crowded,  and one of the guy put his head on the shoulder of the other while standing face to face. It also gave raise to my curious eyebrows.

Noticing such a clear-cut difference between the reactions of people I had to ask God, “Why do similar actions performed with similar intent with a similar state of mind invite different reaction?” In one case people consider you ‘normal’ and in other they deem you ‘anomalous’. Why two different outcome of two similar actions? Where is the principle of “Karma” as described by Lord Himself in Bhagwad Gita?

A subsequent deliberation in my mind gave me the following conclusion:

Perhaps, it is our Karma as a gay to love our partner as much normally as a heterosexual person would have loved his/her partner; and getting same amount of love is the outcome of that Karma which is indeed no less than what a heterosexual person gets. As far as hatred, shock,  prejudice, disgust is concerned, it is the Karma of those who do it. They shall get their outcome accordingly. Surely, God has not discriminated against gays in His principle of Karma. Indeed we face some difficulties in our lives as a gay, but the satisfaction we get when we are with our better-halves is exactly the same. Yes, those who become obstacle between two persons in love, irrespective of gay or straight, must have similar Karmic outcome.

Too Handsome To Handle!

Male model Omar Borkan Al Gala was deported from Saudi Arabia for being too handsome.

The reason given : Authorities feared that he might corrupt impressionable women.

Or rather were they afraid that he might attract men????

Modern Day Dr. Money

Dr. John Money

The boy later committed suicide

Today I watched a BBC Documentary about a boy whose penis got burnt in an accident when he was a little baby. Then he was castrated and was brought up like a girl on the advice of a psychologist Dr. John Money who had a so called theory of “Nurture verse Nature”.  According to him a boy could become a girl if brought up like one and vice-versa.  To prove his theory he found a perfect subject in this poor child. But he failed despite his best efforts and ultimately the ‘girl’ had to be brought up like a boy. (But this real life story took a very tragic turn later on which claimed two lives).

Baba Ramdev : A modern day quack (at least for gays!)

This Documentary was about the time of 1960s when plastic surgery was not as advanced. But we too have a modern day Dr. Money in India! Yes you got me right. BABA RAMDEV! He too thinks that your sexual preferences can be altered through a “proper treatment”! Nature is secondary according to this quack. I just wish that no parent in India is forced by circumstances to take his help. I wish if each parent could watch this Documentary, where it comes out clearly that the sexual preference with which you are born cannot be altered. I wish if there were a law in this country where such quacks can be prosecuted even for making such absurd claims! I wish many other things… But …!!! 

P.S.

At least Dr. Money had some recognised degree and was working on a subject which was not completely known at that time. But this Baba has no such qualification per se and has himself put a cap on his knowledge by being a fundamentalist (I would not say a Hindu fundamentalist because his opinion on this subject is more similar to the Christian and Islamic teachings).
