QUACKing

definition: acronym for carrying out Quirky Unusual Acts of Christmas Kindness.

You learn something new everyday.

In light of the recent confessions of a Malay Muslim men that he's gay and okay, I have a few things to say about it.

Do you accept homosexuality?
Does saying you'll treat such a person humanely but dont want to do anything that may appear to show "support" or "encouragement" towards the chosen lifestyle of said person is only superficially oxymoronic or is it an outright contradiction?

Does withholding support equal inhumane treatment? Where do you draw the line at what constitutes "support" and "encouragement"?

I find it hard to believe that if I say to a cross-dresser/homosexual/transsexual etc "hey, you look amazing today!" it'd be like I said "hey, you gay people are so hip. I support you hey, I'd totally be gay if I could and whatever with my religion!"

I believe that the Quran tells me judgment is for God. I will draw my line there. If you feel that you can be a devout Muslim and be homosexual, I say that is fine with me. Because you may have found something I've not yet learned to see.

I've thought about all the horrible things that could happen in life. To the people around you. I think the most important thing is that the persons you love know that they come to you even when other people think the worst of them. Know that I will be there no matter how terrible things look. No matter how bad the reality.
I will do my best to understand your reality.

I want you to know that.

But maybe what they're trying to say is they cannot condone something which they do not understand nor agree with.

Saying to a tranny/homo/Dame Edna that they look uh-may-zing can be seen as agreeing with their lifestyle so one who feels like it does not agree with their religious perception cannot do so comfortably.

Why ones sexual orientation have anything to do with god and religion? Dunno but religions such as ours have taken the sword against it as unnatural because it cannot bear fruit. Yet, there's proof in nature and science that this and that have same sex tendencies. How does one explain that then? Is it monkey see monkey do? Is it spiritual? Is it natural?

Perhaps when they say humane treatment but no support nor encouragement please they're trying to draw the fine line between condoning and condemning. PC style.

actually you're right kan
why are people so busy shooting and persecuting gay people when we should totally be stoning SINGAPOREANS.

i pose new year's resolution to you bigots. everytime you want to say something anti-gay, you direct it to a singaporean. everytime you want to bash a gay person you whack a singaporean.
