La artikolo estas por la IDAHO aktualajxoj en malajzio je 28 majo, 2011. Mi ankaux volas presenti al la Malajzantoj pri esperanto.
Before I proceed further, I would like to apologise to acquaintances and my friends for the harsh words that I used when we were discussing about the homosexuals. Decades have passed and I could not find any opportunities to say sorry as my ignorance has made me a fool.
Yes, ignorance is dangerous in life. But who would get the ignorance out and showing the facts ? With the cyber technology of today, we can get most of the information in minutes but it was not in decades ago.
I did despise the gays and lesbians not till I was frustrated by my love affairs. There I started to look at issues from a different perspectives. My lover wanted a good life but I could not provide her the assurance. She left.
I read an article about a gay couple who went through think and thin in their life. The worst part of it was one of them lost the ability to walk, he was paralyse waist down. In short, he was denied of the sexual pleasure. But the couple braved on their life despite the discrimination from all corners. Touching, yes, I was. What is LOVE ? I pondered and looked at people around me.
Homosexual is usually being portrayed by the media or the religious body that they are dirty, immoral and unproductive. But, the maknya I saw when I was young was a very laborious person. But s/he was not welcome in the society. At least, to my knowledge, I found the Malays are more tolerance than the Chinese families regarding the homosexual issue. The Chinese families would rather lost a son or a daughter than having two in the families. As long as the family of Chinese is, no matter where it is, the family value would suffering in silence to lose and miss a son or daughter as this lantern short film clearly depicted

Unfortunately, the Chinese homosexual history could be dated back to 3000 years ago.

中国的同性恋最早可追溯到中华文明的始祖黄帝。
清代文人纪晓岚在《阅微草堂笔记》中称"杂说娈童（男同性恋）始黄帝"。当然这种说法的依据只是民间传说，而中国同性恋最早的史料记载则来自商朝。
《商书·伊训》中谈到"三风十衍"，书中提到这不好的"三风"，"卿士有一于身，家必丧，邦君有一于身，国必亡"。三风之一的"乱风"的"一衍"就是"比玩童"，也就是今天所说的同性恋。虽然同性恋在今日尚存的最早记载中以"乱风"这样的受贬面目出现，但这毕竟揭示了同性恋行为在三千年前就已在中国出现，而且其影响之大可列为一"风"。
Therefore, homosexual is not a criminal in China. There are Penal Code of 337 A, B,C like us in Malaysia or most British ruled colonies. Is this Penal Code fair for the people as well as the progress of the country ? Can the Penal Code be misused ? The Star reported:
That implied that females could never ever be charged with carnal intercourse against the order of nature, he said, contending that females could actually commit carnal intercourse.
“As it stands, there is a virtual immunity for females against one of the severest criminal laws in Malaysia, he said.
“If a woman uses a vibrator to penetrate a man’s anus and she derives sexual pleasure from it, would that not be ‘carnal intercourse against the order of nature’ in the ordinary sense of the word?”
Our law in Malaysia and many former British ruled colonies still maintain these 3 and these rules were partially formed by the religious bodies, especially the Christianity.
The evidences are here when I was searching for youtube short film of renowned short story A morning after and I was shocked to read the notice by youtube:
"The Morning A..."

But this Christian group did not know the Bible well as Dr Pepper Lim in loyarburok. Read and enlighten yourself.
Among the 3 major religious in Malaysia, the Buddhism is seemed to be most tolerance about homosexuality. But mind you, not all of the high priests would see things the same way as the Buddha. Despite that Dalai Lama spoke out of human right issue on homosexual http://gaytibet.blogspot.com/2006/11/his-holiness-dalai-lama-speaks-on-gay.html but he was not that 'open' in the earlier stage when he was not in exile in the States.
The Dalai Lama and Homosexuality
At a press conference in 1997 the Dalai Lama said; ‘From a Buddhist point of view (lesbian and gay sex)...is generally considered sexual misconduct.’ He very soon found that he had stumbled into a pink minefield when some Western Buddhists, a significant number of who are gay, loudly expressed their outrage. Together with promoting the Dhamma, the Dalai Lama’s main purpose in touring the West is to win support for his cause, and to this end he defiantly does NOT want to alienate anyone. As soon as he realized what he had done he immediately back-peddled. He called a meeting with gay and lesbian representatives, during which he expressed the ‘willingness to consider the possibility that some of the teachings may be specific to a particular cultural and historic context’.
Are gays and lesbians want to be difference from others ? Are there cures ? Just like headache that a painkiller tablet would solve the problems of mental ?
The National Geographic has to say:
NatGeo explains how one's sexual orientation is determined during embryonic development. They look at how it is possible for one identical twin to be gay and the other to be straight. They address a new branch of Genetics called, Epigenetics. This area of Genetics explores and explains how one's DNA sequence is NOT the only factor in one's phenotypic (actual) outcome. This episode explains how both twins could have the gene for a disorder, yet only one twin actually has the disorder. The same science explains sexual orientation differences in twins. I have only included the homosexuality explanations.
If you don't see better pictures, here is another explanation from the science perspective :
The human right for reproduction is there for you to think twice if you are a homophobia.
I would not as what I am today to promote Esperanto if I did not understand the pain of the homosexuals. It is the wider world with Esperanto. I meet more people from the world. Mind you, not all Esperanto speakers are as open as I mentioned. I did see the FB and Twitter arguments about homophobia Esperantists. But most of the Esperantists are the supporters of the Human Rights and thus they know what the rights of the minorities.
Well, there are also Esperanto gay literature, huh, I was thinking how the homosexuals of Esperanto would be, but the literature are already out long time ago.
The words of Lili, my colleague are still ringing at my ears after she saw the ketoey of Thailand :
“ I have two children. I do not know what their future will be. If they are gay and lesbian, I still love them as long as they do not harm the society and they lead the life as a citizen of the country. They love their partners and do not betray the marriage. I am happy.'
A wonderful mother she is.
Just wondering the parents of the homosexuals like to hold together the family. Why should the family be torn apart just because the son or daughter that you both ( father and mother) conceived be doctrined by others ? Life is yours, isn't it ? Now Vietnam has gone ahead of this, it is good.

A homosexual is better than a corrupted man or woman. A homosexual is better than betraying marriage heterosexual. Thus, learn to see the contribution of homosexuals to the society and country.
Homophobia should not stay in the society which promotes fair, love and progress.
