megalomania

So apparently, we have earthquakes here now? That's all we need, why with the wonderfully solid infrastructure, let's see if we can make another, more gruesome kind of record. (God forbid). Wow..at the moment, both Gulf News and KT websites are flooded...

My rant today revolves around the story about the gay men arrested...well, for being gay. So these men will go to jail, receive lashings and...wait for it...receive hormone therapy.

How ingenious of our government, they've found a cure for homosexuality??!!
Why, why have they not revolutionised this cure and rid the world of the evil that is homosexuality? Such a smart solution deserves worldwide attention. But then again, that's the kind of attention the UAE doesn't want, lest it be considered backwards in the face of all the growth, buildings and celebrities it is hopelessly trying to promote to the world.

Idiots. Bloody idiots. Sure ok I get it, homosexuality is not tolerated around here even though it dates back centuries in the area. Ok the narrow-minded people of the world still think homosexuality is a disease. But hormone therapy? Will they inject these men with enough testosterone to make them attracted to women? These men might even stand a chance of becoming real perverts like the rest of the male population around here, peering perversly at women and make nasty snide comments, making any respectable woman wonder whether she really does look like a prostitute.

Seriously...homosexuality has been around from the dawn of man, and people still think it is a disease?

Do you really think homosexuals are enjoying the homophobia, the physical violence, the nasty looks and the treatment they get? Do you seriously think they choose to be gay? No one would choose to inflict pain on themselves. Sure, homosexuals may be born this way, but why treat it like a disease if they are not harming anyone around them? Why jail them for something they cannot control? It pains me to live in a place that's so backwards.

Homosexuality may still make me uncomfortable...but who am I to judge right from wrong? Who made me, you, or the government God?

Idiots. Or actually...megalomaniacs.
