Jagrata

To be born homosexual is a gift... for a homosexual continues to prove his worth to his detractors while living a life relatively hidden behind the shadows. His faith tells him that he is immoral while stereotyping made him look like a helpless, weak person who is usually a source of shame and comic relief to those who do not understand the life he is living.

But without homosexuals, enlightenment would take a slower pace. Being unique among His creations, homosexuals has a gift and talent for creativity, artistry and innovation that is usually unmatched by regular heterosexuals. His open mindedness and ability to embrace new things is a testament to his willingness to challenge established order.

His wars for acceptance and respect from everyone has continuously worked to his advantage: The more he is turned down, the more he fights back. The more he is denied his own existence, the more he proves his worth and right to exist.

Right now, his detractors may claim the victory. But how can a victory be completely achieved against something that has existed long before the minds of these people have thought of eradicating it? Have they ever realized that homosexuals have been there spreading enlightnement long before their religion started persecuting them? Is their religion perfect enough to have the right to pre-judge their existence?

And have they ever thought that homosexuals is part of evolution itself?

Slowly but surely, homosexuals are gaining the upper hand. They might not find universal acceptance in a generation or two, but the fact remains:

empowerment is at hand.

It doesn't matter whether a homosexual keeps his identity a secret or flaunt it like some people do. As long as he knows himself and never denying it; As long as he performs his human duties despite what others think about him;

And as long as he continues to harness his potentials and perfecting it, knowing that it would benefit not only himself and his loved ones but may also becomes a source empowerment to liberate and inspire those who are finding their way towards the fold.

Then he has done a great service for the pride.

He has already concieved his own self-awareness.
