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? "
