Dark Skin & Getting Married | Stand Up Comedy by Saikiran

I have been thinking about the homosexual condition since the dawn of time and that little picture at the end brings me to a watershed moment in my life: I think I now fully support legalisation of homosexual activity because it most certainly helps women – both straight and gay – from both the liberal and the religious viewpoints. Straight women because it at least makes some gay males go away from the pool of their potential mates saving them a lot of lifelong misery and heartbreak, especially in societies like India where divorce is strongly stigmatised. Gay women because that initial push of decriminalisation makes it infinitely more easy for them to try and assimilate themselves well into a moderately urban-liberal kind of milieu which is firstly and most importantly made easy by virtue of the lot reduced incidence of promiscuity within their community compared to that of gay men.

There are the various different types of painful issues as perceived by (female) homosexuals related to decriminalisation-but-no-social-normalisation as fought by liberals, libertarians, conservative libertarians, exclusionists, assimilationists, whatever, whatever but probably most gay people (gay men most likely definitely) are not even that intelligent/intellectually disciplined to think of these things (I have read somewhere that the average IQ of gay men is quite lower than the average IQ of straight men, but I don’t know if that is correct). And we’ll see as time goes on if complete normalisation is feasible for gay women.

And all the above talk about normalisation is majorly concerning some kind of an assimilation into an acceptable upper/upper-middle-class liberal milieu only, and not religion at all. The latter is impossible. In our context, Hinduism is especially exclusionary in a very natural manner and can never assimilate these types of individuals. It does not have problem with gays/lesbians living in the world (of course because Ahimsa is one of the major pillars of Hinduism) but they have to be outcasted for the well-being of the more healthier parts of Hindu society (standard Hindu view).

My angst at a certain point in the past majorly has arisen because of the possible dismantling of liberal enclaves located in various parts of the world if tendency to hedonism that is innate to many gay men is condoned or okayed. One logical way for liberals is to just okay all hedonism and make consent the only requirement to not just legal status but also assimilation into society but there is that other way to go the old-school individual rights (libertarian) way and support and promote scientific research aimed at culling predisposed-to-hedonism gay males while in womb in the (far) future. I take solace in the fact that this is indeed a possibility in the future but I have no clue what to do about the present. Liberals all over the world have very tough lives indeed. It is probably the case that gay males (I’m including weird Indian categories like MSM also in this) can never be assimilated into even a typical upper-middle-class-liberal society that is significantly less exclusionary than hardcore Hinduism since a lot of them can’t get rid of their promiscuity (men are inherently wretched and gayness compounds that even more). If us international liberal mafia get to somehow magically make it fully acceptable to be hedonistic and sexually promiscuous all over the world, then that’s a different matter. But for now, the decriminalisation of gay male sex is good definitely (however slightly, alas! Or my major assumption is wrong and gay males indeed still end up destroying lives of straight women in vast majority by entering into marriages with them, etc.) for straight women, so that needs to be supported by religious Hindus also, in my view.
