What is actually LGBT means for ????


LGBT  are......


LGBT actually is an initialism which L refer to lesbian, G refer to gay, B refer to bisexual and lastly T refer to transgender. LGBT also know as GLBT. Currently, LGBT was become a hot issue in Malaysia and the world. Malaysia is one of country that not accept and legalize LGBT.  In 1956, homosexuality was decriminalised in Thailand and now Thailand was accepting this LGBT culture. Plus, Thailand and Vietnam become the first Southeast Asian countries that legalize this same-sex marriages or LGBT.


Mostly the reason why LGBT was not accepted by community because it was contradictory to human nature where man was created for male and female and female to male rather than vice versa. That why Prophet Adam a.s. was created with Hawa or also called as Eve by Creator, ALLAH s.w.t.. By this we can conclude that woman was created for man we as human are created for each other. Many religions are not approve this LGBT especially in Islam, Christian and more.

In UDHR, article 16 stated that men and women of full age, without any limitation due to race, nationality or religion, have the right to marry and to found a family. They are entitled to equal rights as to marriage, during marriage and at its dissolution.Marriage shall be entered into only with the free and full consent of the intending spouses. This show that a men and woman that have a good condition in health, wealth and more are eligible to marry with full consent of both intending spouses. Even in UDHR which one of declaration of humans rights that most of country follow stated that marriage can happen between men and woman not men and men and also woman and woman.

Its true that The Universal Declaration Of Human Rights (UDHR) stated in article 18 that everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion which includes freedom to change his/her religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance. This is mean that those LGBT people also have their own rights to practice their lifestyle in community but this can cause a bad effect to community as well such as this kind of lifestyle give a bad example to children especially to teenagers. Diseases such as HIV/AIDS can be transmitted rapidly in the community.

  

I am choosing this article entitled "What it's like to be LGBT living with HIV in Malaysia" from Malaysian Digest Magazine as my materials research. This article stated that Transgender and Men Who Have Sex With Men (MSM) are mostly prone to get HIV/AIDS disease. According to the data given in this article on 2013 there are 85,332 peoples living with HIV?AIDS disease with estimated that 9 cases per day in Malaysia. This is very critical !!!! As we know that HIV/AIDS are one of the most lethal disease that can be transmitted through a liquids such as semen, blood, rectal fluids, breast milk and vaginal fluids. HIV/AIDS also can be spread by sharing injection needle and sexual intercourse between homosexual and heterosexual partners. But recently there are increasing in number of HIV/AIDS patients.

In this article, I would like to stressed this words :


" When Malaysian society at large pretends that they do not exist, how do we address the increase in HIV transmission through sexual intercourse, putting all Malaysians at risk, including heterosexuals, homosexuals and minors? " 


Because Malaysia society and government acknowledges the existence of the LGBT community causing them a rough time to seeking medical attention. This LGBT community basic needs in medication are bit different from normal people which their need HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) and HAART (highly active antiretroviral therapy that helps prevent the virus from causing further damage) for their HIV treatment. But in UDHR in article 25 stated that everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control. But the LGBT community in Malaysia didn't get what their should get in medical requirement. This is because their existence are not well known by community. Its not that I agree with this LGBT issues but people should get what they deserve whether they are normal people or transgender, everyone deserve the equality. Whether they are LGBT community or not its not our problem because that was a path that they choose and our job only prevent the LGBT by giving a talk or awareness about this issues.

Human Rights

Assalamualaikum and a very good evening to all,

Actually this is my first time on making and writing on a blog.This is the reason why I named my first blog as "For The First Time".So,please treat me well, hihi =).


As I am taking a "Hak Asasi Manusia" class at my university so I had given a task to make a blog and comment about an article and a song that related to the human's right.From my previous lecture, I was taught about the definition of human's right in different perspective such as the definition from a view of sociologist,Rhoda E. Howard stated that human right are a right that one holds merely by virtue of human being which mean that all human beings hold all human right equally except for those limited conditions such as criminal conviction.The definition from a point of view from a former president of the American Society for Political and Legal Philosophy and also known as a father of human right law,Louis Henkin stated that the idea of human right is a political idea with a moral foundation that defines the relationship that should exist between  the individual and society.


While the definition from Thomas Buergenthal, a specialist in international law and human rights law said that human rights by reference to law which governs human rights.This is some of what the professional thinks about humans right.So what are your opinion about the actual definition of the humans right ? The study about humans right was very wider and the meaning itself may leads to different people point of view. 


Well from my understanding, every living things in this earth have their own right even animals,plants and especially humans.This is because there are too many right in an individual itself that always being resurrected such as a right as parents, husband, wife, students, employees, president, rape victims and even the cleaners also have their own rights. Furthermore, a right is not that someone gives it to you,its what no one cannot take it from you because all human beings are born free and was entitled to equal rights. Nowadays, a tons of newly demanded rights that appeared such as LGBT issues, religious rights, Purdah-wearing rights for Islamic woman, naked rights for woman and more.In my opinion, sometimes this claimed rights are not make sense such as LGBT issues and naked right for woman. Its true that each individual have their own rights but those rights are opposite to humans nature.Lastly, humans right for all, no exceptions !!!!!







Every human has their own right especially on making decision about their future.









This picture showing that genrally we already achieve the freedom but the truth is we are not achieve our own right.

And ask him why they all got a trapped soul

I can feel what was bothering Marvin
Why his words forever remain 
Dealing with these modern day problems
'Cause of ignorance surrounding me and my constituents
Too many infected

Pray together
Less fight 
We better unite
As genocide chemical war 
And the rich and the poor
Know that God delivers a cure 

[Eve:]
It's a shame our reality is devastating
People praying for a cure
Dying while they're waiting
Ask the Lord for the comfort and strength to face it
All the kids with dreams 
Won't get the chance to chase it
Makes me sad
Think about the lives they would've had
Think about the orphan babies got no moms and dads
How can we sit back and not try to make it right
We gotta come together
We gotta fight for life 

[Fred Durst:]
Somebody tell me what's going on 
(what's going on)
We got human beings using humans for a bomb
But everyone wanna live
Don't nobody really want to die
You feeling me right
I can't be watching people die
(die)
And watching people cry
Let me break it down for a minute
If there's enough room here for you and me
There's plenty of room for some humanity 

Somebody tell me what's going on

Somebody tell me what's going on

Somebody tell me what's going on

Somebody tell me what's going on

Somebody tell me what's going on
(what's going on)
Somebody tell me what's going on
(what's going on)
Somebody tell me what's going on
(what's going on)





This was a very good song in describing on human rights. If you saw on the music video showing that all those singers are wearing a blindfold cloth which each of the cloth was written a word on it such voter, catholic, believer, Irish, black, consumer, Asian and more. All this words represent each of the rights that every human in this world has their own right to get it.

World are not longer safe and secure for human to live because so many wars are happening around the world nowadays. So many people are dying, crying and suffering affects of this heartless and unacceptable war. War always happen when there was a conflict or problems or have a different opinion between both sides while everyone knows that war was not the answer in solving a problems. We must unite with each other by hear and accept the new ideas. This is to make sure that all the problems faced was settled down and not involving innocent peoples. Most of the survived adults and children lost their parents, family, shelters, education, foods, clean water and their rights as citizen of a country. War not only cost one life but also reducing world economy, productivity and money supply because all those money are required for redevelop a region affected and the survivor have to develop their own strength to stay alive.

This song also showing us that every human reserve their own rights as a living human. Every one deserve their own right same as other people regardless race, religions and skin color. This music video are related to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) that I have learned recently. According the UDHR on article 1 stated that all human being are born free and equal in dignity and rights which this is mean that every human are born with their own rights and theirs have their own right to claim that. Furthermore,on UDHR also stated that everyone who live is entitled to all rights and freedom without distinction in race, sex, skin color, language, religion, political, origin, country, territory and more. This music video mostly showing many right that usually be claimed by peoples.

In conclusion, war is not a solution in solving a problem but it another way to adding more problem.
