GAY MARRIAGES


Moral authority is never retained by any attempt to hold on to it. It comes without seeking and is retained without effort -Mahatma Gandhi



         
It is sad that Barak Obama,a world leader, a Nobel  laureates  has chosen to take a stand of legalising  gay marriages.

Its sad, he has stopped to the level of ordinary politicians, making policies for political gains.
Statistics show one in six in the Obama campaign is funded by a gay, that means if he choses to take a stand against he would lose the elections.But then Obama is looked up to as a world leader and not an  ordinary person and leaders are supposed to set a path or give a direction to the world. I wont be surprised , that  after this many  more countries would follow suit.

The words of the great Martin Luther King come to my mind -
 “I am not interested in power for power's sake, but I'm interested in power that is moral, that is right and that is good. If we are to go forward, we must go back and rediscover those precious values - that all reality hinges on moral foundations and that all reality has spiritual control.”

Interesting has been the views of Santorum the republican candidate who withdrew against Mitt Romney. He has stated his stance that marriages are for procreation and should be between only one man and one women not with the same sex.I agree completely with Mr. Santorum and even find justification in the scriptures that state the  purpose of marriage as procreation .

Osho had stated boredom as a reason for people getting into homosexual tendencies. People getting bored with their opposite sexes.

North Carolina voters have passes a constitutional amendment banning gay marriages.

Something which is against nature cannot be promoted or propagated, hence the argument that gay marriages should be legalised does not find any basis,as it is not in tune with nature.

I stand to say that I acknowledge the gay community but I would be against propagating or promoting it.So when somebody legalises gay marriages he or she is promoting something not in tune with nature.The alarming risk posed by such a stand in the next decade would be ‘procreation’ and having a dead world.

Coming back to India, the gay activists who fight for the rights of gays & transgenders is also interesting.Indian government has shown flipflop in its policy on gay rights in Supreme Court of India.

Specifically the issue of rights of transgender (don’t see how gays have any less rights than i have).

Yes there is social apartheid with these transgender hence they get pushed into unwanted activities which does give rise to serious diseases,but does that qualify for reservations for them in jobs or educational institutions. I am strongly for jobs for them, since they are physically stronger they could get absorbed into physically laborious work, this could be the first step to move them out of their inertia., though I am against any sort of reservations.

On a lighter note, somebody asked if we would need separate bathrooms for transgender with the board as Trans,I said no we could create more restrooms for women.
