One young man I spoke to in great detail told me he had considered the idea but decided it would be more sensible to tell his parents the truth. The greatest task for him was not finding the courage, but the appropriate language. He said in the end he had to resort to using the only words that exist in Asian languages to describe homosexuality. He sat with his family and watched their faces as words such as 'kusra' and 'gandu' were banded about. My heart broke again.
Sexuality is the most private thing in the world.
And the option of sharing it is a private one. But homosexuality seems to have become public property and nowhere more so than within our own community. Mocking it, abusing it and being disgusted by it is every homophobes first love. What I do not understand I reject. My musings are at the end of each day simply words.
