Homosexuality

First and foremost l would like to say I am neutral when it comes to these sexual orientation issues.

Zimbabwe is a Christian country and therefore homosexuality is not acceptable because as our President says “They are worse than pigs and dogs” (his words not mine). In as much as the majority of the people in the country are against homosexuality, it is important to note that homosexuals are becoming a significantly forming a huge part of the population in the country.

Instead of proposing a crackdown on gays, which l think it a little absurd because we have a few people who have actually come out and said they are gay. I wonder how the gay police will pin point these gays. Will they go around asking people if they are gay or what? If being gay could be genetically detected it would be easy.

I have often seen gay people around, men who are women and women who are men (I hope that makes sense), l know people that have experimented and tried to be homosexual and  I have seen people who have confused sexuality and don’t know if they are homosexual or bisexual.

I don’t know anything about the origins of homosexuality but l sure as hell think that the South African soapie generations helped the homosexuals in this country know that this was not an unusual thing and therefore they were not genetically mutated. It made some of them “come out” and those who are afraid are still hiding.

Homosexuals are people like another person. They are not animals but they have a different sexual orientation. All they want is to be accepted by their society because they are no different from any other person.

I have a friend of mine who is studying abroad; I recently discovered that she is lesbian. She  has not been able to tell me but she says she found that out about 2years ago. Now the problem she has is that quite soon she will be coming home and she does not know if her parents will accept her if she told them about her sexual orientation.

I often wonder why people want to judge homosexuals when God has never judged them at all. However l would want to applaud the Gays and Lesbians association and the Sexual Rights Centre for taking the taking a stand and protecting the rights of these people. The last thing we would want to see is the killing of these people like we have seen happening in other African countries.
