Thousands join gay pride event in Delhi

A vast rainbow flag was carried through the streets of the capital
About 2,000 people have joined a gay pride parade in the Indian capital, Delhi, the first such event since homosexuality was legalised last year.
Organisers said gay people were demonstrating that they have a place in society, and that the parade was a celebration of being different.
The High Court overturned a colonial-era law against homosexuality in 2009.
But the BBC's Mark Dummett in Delhi says homosexuality is still stigmatised as Indian society is very conservative.
"There has been a certain sort of change but it has not been a revolution," one marcher told the BBC. "It has been decriminalised but society has not completely changed along with it."
The marchers hope that their colourful event - complete with drummers, dancing and rainbow flags - will help to change those attitudes, says our correspondent.

Once Indian's would have been ashamed of this but today they're calling it free thinking that in reality is westernisation of everything! I would like to think that traditional Indian's condemn this without preaching hatred or threatening to kill innocents!.That's why many Pakistanis call the country Gandustan now!

Statistically 4 out of hundred people are born homosexual, its not a lifestyle one had a choice. What two adults do in the privacy of their homes is not anybody's business. No segment of society should be discriminated its small toward more tolerant society.

I never said that if anyone wants to wear burka man or women go for it. Its called individual freedoms. So far there is no evidence that anyone has committed any crime wearing a burka.

fruits of western democracy.

Democracy does not have anything to do with it its called individual freedoms and equal rights, in Canada majority of people were against gay marriage. Courts ruled that the law that prevented gay marriages was discriminatory therefore unconstitutional it was thrown out. Majority was against allowing Sikhs to wear turbans in the Mounted Police and courts ruled it was discriminatory it was thrown out today Muslims, Jews and others are alowed to wear head gears as a result despite of majority wish.

Sikhs in Ontario challenged the law that prevnted them from driving motorcycle and working in construction sites without hard hats and helmets they lost it due to safety reason that took presidance over religion. Now they are trying to bring chage through legislature.

It is just a humble effort to present some basic facts on the issue which is under debate!
Homosexuality (Facts)

According to medical science, sexuality exhibits itself in following ways

1- Gender Identity: A person`s inner sense of maleness or femaleness.

2- Sexual Identity: A person`s external physical characteristics eg Beard, Genitalia, Hormones etc.

3- Sexual Orientation: A person`s preference for a particular love object eg Hetero(Opposite sex), Homo(Same sex), or

Bi(Both sexes).

Now, any disorder in the first 2 characteristics ( Eg. A normal male with male genital organs but inner sense of female )

can be treated by sex change operations and medicines. And, this treatment is allowed in Islam as recently even Iran

allowed it.

Now comes the 3rd part of human sexuality ie Sexual Preference, which i think is under debate on this thread. Some imp

facts about the "Sexual Preference or Orientation" r (These r facts not theories)

1- Sexual preference is 'NOT' a choice. It is 'Ingrained' in the sexual center(hypothalamus) of the brain. You cant change
it. There is no drug, surgery, psychotherapy or any other way to change it.

2- Genetic and Biological (eg Increased androgen level in the blood of mother of Homosexuals during pregnancy which
effect Hypothalamus) factors r involved in determining sexual preference. No 'Environmental' factor is involved whatsoever (ie Religion, Upbringing, Schooling, Company, Foods, Diseases etc)!

3- Expression of sexual orientation depends upon different 'Social' factors (Religion, Upbringing, Social acceptability, Country law etc)

Now about "Homosexuality",

1- 9-11% of males and 3-4% of females (Irrespective of Race, Religion, Geography, Country etc) r homosexuals!
2- Before 1980, homosexuality was considered a disorder. After 1980, it is considered a normal sexual behavior in medical science.
3- Homosexual experiences in heterosexual ppl in adolescence r common and normal due to ongoing brain development resulting in such aberrations.
4- Incidence of mental disorder is the same as in heterosexuals.
5- Incidence of homosexuality in the children of homosexual couples is same as of heterosexual couples.

Conclusion: People r born with their respective sexual preferences. Their is nothing, one can do to change it after birth.
Incidence of Homosexuality is same in the whole world!

Note: In Pakistan and some other countries, some homosexual men seduce, coerce and force innocent young boys into such practices. Which is wrong, illegal and punishable in every society and country. Above points are not related to such cases of victims of sexual abuse.

PS: All the above mentioned facts r taken from medical books. They can be found in any Psychiatry text or review book in the chapter of Human Sexuality and sexual disorders. All these facts r proven by decades-long researches, no theory!
Sole purpose of presenting these facts is to provide the basic knowledge about the subject under discussion. I have not
given my opinion! Respected learned members of this forum can counter check these facts esp who are related to this field. Thanx!

May Allah give us Hidaya and forgive our transgressions and sins. Verily, He is the most merciful!
