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.
