Last week, United States was in the news. This time, it wasn’t for war, but for something that has been bothering Indians silly – ‘Gay Marriages’. When someone says ‘Gay Marriage’ the immediate explanation that pops into a slightly veteran Indian’s head is: a marriage between a man and a woman which is celebrated with lot of pomp and style. ‘Gay’ in English meaning ‘happy’. Marriage, obviously, meaning Marriage. So, he is completely puzzled as to what’s wrong with a ‘Gay Marriage’!
His logic of course has solid grounding. Marriage between a man and a woman after all is once in a lifetime occasion…ok, at least this side of the world. That much ‘Masti’ and ‘Tamasha’ is necessary to let the world know that one is embarking on this inexcusable and unpardonable crime called Marriage. After all, one commits this heinous act only once-in-his-lifetime. So why haul him up for celebrating his own death?!
But elucidate to him what ‘Gay Marriage’ actually means in today’s context. His jaw would drop open, letting expletives fly off faster than an AK47 would release bullets. If these expletives ever rise a few decibels higher, than one’s eardrums are sure to get shattered to smithereens.
What stands a perplexing aspect in ‘Gay Marriages’ is: who would do what?! As we comprehend, the man generally mows the lawn, goes to work and brings home the bacon. The woman stays home, feeds kids, and cooks. So the work demarcation becomes one hell of a task. How do same-sex marriage couple decide who will do what?! Will they toss a coin?! If so, will the coin have two different sides?! Or the same sides. You see, sameness has become a major issue! Parenthetically, for those who aren’t aware, the word ‘Homo’ means ‘same’.
Compounding the troubles are other boiling issues. How would kids cope with parental gender crises? Whom would they call papa and whom, mama? Hey, hang on, if its same sex marriage…then where do the kids come from?! Well, considering that the couple do adopt a child, the kid would only be confused as to what kind of a mess he got into. Eventually, one would hear him screaming hoarse, ‘I am better off an orphan!’
On the other hand, the child, per se, likes the company of these parents, imagine the ridicule he would face from his schoolmates and peers. Obama might understand ‘Gay Marriages’. Frankly, kids don’t. Besides, you don’t need the IQ of Stephen Hawkins to decipher the consequences these kids would go through for no crime of theirs!
Sometimes, the teacher could stick it to! When he says to the child, “I would like to talk to your father”. Neither can the kid say, “I have two fathers, which one would you like to speak to?!” Neither can he say, “I have two mothers and no fathers”. Neither can he say, “Ok I’ll bring my father “as he is definitely unsure as to who is who!
Amidst all this hullabaloo, Barak Obama stands towering over the issue saying that the Supreme Court’s decision about the ‘Gay Marriages’ was right. Many eyebrows are raised on Obama’s rationale. Few other eyebrows are raised on Obama. No points for guessing to whose eyes this mischievous eyebrows belong to.
Besides, there’s a new trend of sane, heterosexuals supporting and sporting rainbow colours, which obviously stand for the symbolism of mixed LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) community. One loses his marbles, looking at the increase in the sheer number of rainbow tinted profiles on Facebook. I don’t mean to be rude, but by sporting these colours, are we subjecting ourselves to ‘Gayism’ and compromising on our highest held morals and ethics?!
What majorly baffles everyone is that ‘Gay Marriages’ are now being lauded and applauded by everyone, including perfectly sane heterosexuals and families of heterosexuals. If it’s normal or abnormal…I don’t know. All I know is that I am not ‘gay’ about the whole issue.
