The Gays of India
In India gay people can´t get married and that is sad for
those who think
a ring on a finger is enough to utter love and loyalty. Liberal
as I´m I ought
to sign letters an express my outrage against the Indian
government,
but my heart is not in this battle of hysterical expression
of democracy.
There many inequalities, say, the plight of the Palestinians and
now
the dilemma of Negev Bedouins who soon will find themselves flattened
by this juggernaut of harsh, unthinking quest for security
and land; it
will not stop, pause or think of a peaceful alternative. How
to stop this blitz,
this amoral action before it destroys both perpetrators and
victims
in an orgy of bloodletting. Then there is Syria, this
intractable problem
this can cast us into a catastrophic null point when someone
will use
nuclear weapon they profess not to have, in the name of
feverish existential
survival. So the gays
of India can´t for now get married, what can I say?
Carry on fighting for
your right, but do not fall into the trap to think the rest
of the world thinks your
problem is of outmost importance.
