To me it was a taboo as it is not normal for people of the same sex to be together as the law would not allow them to be so.
My family brought me up in a manner that the girl and the boy are natural together.
But now it is a totally different matter to me now.
I accept people who are gay, homosexuals, trans-genders.
I don't have a problem with them.
At the end of the day, how I look at it is that these people are just people who are comfortable in their skin.
Comfortable with who they want to be and how they want to be seen by the public.
They have to go through some tough decisions in life to get to be the person they want to be.
I take my hat off these people.
They have so much courage to actually let the society know that they are what they are and they are not ashamed to be who they are.
I feel that is has to do with their pride and their dignity.
I have friends now, who are gays, homosexuals, lesbians, bisexuals, trans-gender.
I am not ashamed to be their friend, instead I am proud to be their friend.
Knowing that they are true to themselves and they have pave a way out for themselves in our society is amazing.
Even my mother who used to be like me who finds the topic of homosexuals to be very uncomfortable, is fine with it.
She accepts the fact that they are what they are and they have their own choices to make in life and no one can do anything about it.
But she always tells me that as long as my friends do not put their sexuality at the risk of hurting family ties with themselves is good enough.
I don't see why people are still condoning homosexuals in our society.
Yes, I agree that there are some rotten apples that puts the rest to shame but that does not mean that they are a flock.
They are individuals who wants to be judged as individuals and not a bunch.
They have different personalities that are so colorful and they are also emotionally in touch with both masculine and feminine sides.
Sometimes I am ashamed to be with people who hates homosexuals as they don't even give these people a change to show them what they are made of and what they can actually provide to the society as an individual.
