ये कैसी विड륍बना है। LGBT इस फदल में है...

This is an open letter to all the people who are against humanity. एक स्त्री के स륍मान की, एक अनचाही सी चाहत, "LGBT", this is a topic not many people discuss publicly; some people don't even know एक अनजानी सी हरकत, आज़ाद होकर भी आज़ाद नहĂ, what this term stands for, so let me give you a brief explanation about this. LGBT इस फदल में है। stands for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender community. They are the people ये कैसी विड륍बना है। who as per the societal norms do not fit in the world and are secluded because they have एक दबी सी ख्िाइश, different sexual preferences. They are the people who go through a lot of tribulation and एक सपनⴂ की सावज़श, कुछ कहे-अन-कहे प्रश्न है, harassment because they are distinct what is usually embraced. 95% of people इस फदल में है। belonging to the LGBT community suffer bullying which often includes physical विड륍बना तो बस एक श녍द है। violence and regular subjugation to verbal abuse; they are even excluded by the state एक अनकहा सा राज़, समझ गया अगर कोई and are denied basic housing or health services. People don't realize how hard it is for एक उदावसयⴂ का बाग़, other person to accept him/herself as whom they are. People who belong to the LGBT इस फदल में है। इस विड륍बना के श녍द को, community are ridiculed, judged and looked down by the society when they try to come out of the closet and wish to live an ordinary life. They are abandoned because the एक वज़ꅍदगी की क�मकश, कर सकता िह सब दुुःख दूर है। world thinks they are different. I don't understand why people think that trans or gay एक कामना-ऐ-यश, people are obstructed, why they are considered sinners and made to believe that their इस फदल में है।

existence is a curse to the mankind. It is so heart-breaking to see all hatred against the स्त्री तु륍हारी कोई जागीर नहĂ, LGBT community. One question that I would like to ask you people against the LGBT एक उ륍मीदⴂ की डोर, community is: Why? Why do you wish they were dead? Why do you think they don't ज़मानें से होर, िह तो कमल का फूल है, belong here in the same world as you? Why do you think they should not have access to इस फदल में है।

People who give religion as the answer to the questions and say that some religions condemn homosexuality then let me give you कुछ अनसुलझे सिाल, परांतु फफर भी ये विड륍बना है, a brief explanation as to how no religion is against homosexuality. Jesus was an कुछ उमड़ते सैलाब, advocate of same-sex relationships, he stood up for poor people, cared for those who इस फदल में है। इतना सब एक स्त्री करती है, needed help, and he condemned all those who were against peace and humanity. He was a social-rebel; he spoke about how everyone deserves to be loved and how कुछ बीते ए ल륍हें, फफर भी क्यⴂ िो दुवनया से डरती है? oppression should not exist in this world. Same sex relations and gender variance have कुछ अनकहे तज़ुबे, been there in the society since ages but people still can't accept this fact and embrace इस फदल में है। ये विड륍बना नहĂ मजबूरी है। the beauty of diversity that exists in the world but instead this issue is the reason for कुछ और कहना अब नामुमफकन सा है, िह शवि से पररपूर्ण है, disputes. There is nothing wrong with homosexual people, but with those against it. Being LGBT does not make anyone less human. We human beings tend to forget how और न जाने फकतना कुछ दफ़न इस फदल में है। आज पर फफर भी अपूर्ण है। far we've come as species, we have reached the moon and back and opened the doors to
