So as much as this blog is about marking one's footprint in the World, it is also about equality.
Thus I have to share with you this absolutely ridiculous set of guidelines produced by (I'm ashamed to say), the Malaysian Education Ministry on how to identify gays and lesbians.
First of all there is completely no need to "identify" people's sexual orientation. It is not a disease and it does no harm.
Secondly, the guidelines that they have come up with...just...makes me speechless and at the same time laugh at the absurdity of it.
Thirdly they generalized waaaaaay too much.
An example for spotting gays ; Likes to wear shirtless, V-necks and are muscular. (NONSENSE!)
An example for spotting lesbians; Like to hang out, have meals and sleep in the company of women. (RUBBISH!)
I like to sleepover with friends who are girls. Am I a lesbian? No, however what business is it of yours if I was?
Here is a link to a blog with the full set of the guideline: http://theunspunblog.com/2012/09/13/guidelines-to-identify-gay-and-lesbian-symptoms-published-free-malaysiakini/
How we have gotten such people to be at the head of our country I will never know.
This is why we need to make a difference in the World.
And this is just a silly thing that would hopefully not be taken seriously.
Out there in the World, there are tons more worse things happening and governments are getting away with it. Heard of the Arab Spring? Syria is still at war with itself.
You can make a difference.
Plant you footprint in the Earth today.
