I thought it would be the wonder of the broomstick that would set me down to my keyboard again or perhaps some bumbling old fool with a white topi on his head and a black conscience spewing out utter nonsense... maybe the idiocies of some sections of the legislature or even police, yet it is the Judicial arm of the triumvirate of bodies that run this 'glorious' nation that has prompted me to begin to type yet again.
Most of you already know, but for those unlikely few who don't and are pondering what this old and wizened institution may have done to incur my... interest, let us just say that old not always means wizened. Sometimes it also means more deeply prejudiced and blind to the lay of the land and the truth of some matters.
The rights of the LGBT community are non-existent as per our apex court and as per conservatives deeply rooted in age old bias their wrongs are many, their mere existence being the foremost and most offending one of all it seems. These communities, deaf and dumb to any new inputs from the field of science, continue to tout the 'unnatural' nature of such dalliances as your friendly next door gay/lesbian person would like to indulge in. Judging by media and societal 'outrage' on other topics worthy of such it seems for them rape carried out by 'godmen' is alright, an acceptable 'natural' phenomenon but consesual sex between two members of the same gender is a horrifying crime. To them the sexual harassment of women is only just about as objectionable, if not lesser, than the existence of people who may have affection for people of both genders or even the same as themselves.
But as always, I digress. The point I wanted to focus on was the 'unnatural' nature of such dalliances.
The human mind is a wonderful thing, our brain, that pinkish blob of flesh housed between our ears in that part of the body rather elegantly referred to as the cranium has a level of complexity to it that even modern medical science is yet to fully probe, but from what we do know right know is that much of how we act depends upon how our brains develop. Our sexual orientation is one such thing that stems from the development of that cheerful pinkish blob at least this is what my brain drags up from that room in my head labelled as 'What Little I Know' (a room whose contents are very little, I assure you) and from what little I'd read once upon a time. Thus when you come across a person who is gay or lesbian or bi-sexual it is not by choice that they 'became' so, it is how they were born, it is in their heads in their hormones. They are that way because, to use a slightly inelegant phrase, they were programmed that way.
In the case of transgenders the 'unnatural' tag is even more ridiculous for it is by a twist of nature itself that they are who they are. One does not choose at puberty or at birth that they will become a member of the gender currently referred to as the third gender by the politically correct, it happens. it happens because of the way our bodies are, the way our hormones function.
