lots more to do

yay, thought i on july the 2nd. i shall no more feel embarassed about the gay law. naive me. because then i saw a flurry of comments on facebook - people responding to mine (which was hurrah-like), and people's own. allow me to reproduce a few:

One of the senior photographers in my former organisation felt -

against nature every thing like this is a disaster, and the results are now in western countries, hamare desh ka kya hooga, very sad

I didn't respond. He's almost 50. He's not going to change.

A yuppie former colleague [clearly, I've had the worst company professionally] states:

Are these gays a vote bank? Why is the govt pleasing them, and even if they get legalised and have all the laws in their favour, wont they feel embarrassed doing all that which normal people do , publicly atleast!!

What I find fascinating is the use of the journo rhetoric. That the government must be getting something out of it.

Now, I usually avoid getting into debates that too on forums like facebook. But this time I couldn't stop myself and said "I can't believe you just said that."

She replies, pronto:

Listen babes, my point is why do these gays make so much noise and for what? Society is above all these laws and legal rights..there are certain things which are on the conscience of society for millenniums, do you think we can do anything crushing the conscience?

I didn't know what I found more objectionable. The content or the syntax.
