............ wait a minute

exams are seriously screwing me up big time, or should i say I'm screwing up my exams big time? Can't wait for them to be over as soon as possible, gawd. I'm becoming a nocturnal creature now - I go to sleep when the sun rises and wake up when the sun sets. Trademark of a vampire? I don't know, you tell me. *looking around for blood*

a fren of mine showed me this gay blog [Colin and Kero] and I'm flabbergasted to say the least. They are Singapore's latest celebrities!! I really admire them for being so brave and coming out of the closet. I even saw a tag from this "Fred" guy who claims he's from the Newpaper and wants to interview them. Let's see if anything comes out of it at all. I've been monitoring their tagboard for quite some time now and it seems like pple have been really insensitive and putting up really nasty tags. I mean c'mon, these pple are just like any one of us out here. The fact that they are gay do not make them alien or mutants for that matter. They still breathe the air we breathe, eat the food we eat, drink the water we drink, do the things we do etc.. Why are we so harsh on them and look at them with tinted glasses?

An open society is a mature one (quote from amanda) and this just goes to show how far ours have come. Zilch. Back to zero. I'm not particularly rallying for support for these gays but just hope that people can be more understanding. There is perfectly nothing wrong with what they are doing. And just ask ourselves, how many of us are actually that forthcoming with our feelings? Like it or not, they are here to stay.

True, many of our religions do condemn this type of behaviour. However, God loves us all, be it straight or gay. So who are we to hate or condemn them? If you are picturing these two being tortured in hell by your God, then I'm sorry but I say, you have a very scary and unforgiving God.

Lastly, I'm sure some of you have gay/lesbian friends too. So why the homophobia? We are still close to them, we know them well and above all, we are friends.

Did they make a move on us? No.
Did they cause us bodily harm? No.
Did they cause us emotional/psychological distress? No.
Did they (gasp) molest us? Hell no.

So are they actually extraterrestrial lifeforms in disguise? Are they mutants now? Last time I checked, they still breathed oxygen and have not joined the X-Men.

I say freedom of speech for all (yea right, tell that to the people involved in the Danish Caricatures hoo-ha). To those who missed it, click here to find them.

Okay so i sidetracked. I just hope that the society can be more matured and open-minded. Embrace these people just like they are one of us because they are.
