why is it hard to accept gays in our society?

accepting gays and lesbians has been an issue for many years now, but still they havent achieved what they are aiming for (at least thats what they say). some say it is because of religion, and the traditional conservative up bringing of the Filipinos, i say it can be a factor but not entirely true for all cases.
based on personal experience difficulty only arises to gays, lesbians are easier to be accepted by the crowd that i deal with. The popular reason for this is because apparently, lesbians are hotter when they make out. Why is it that it cant be the same for two guys making out.
To make my point try this; try picturing in your mind your ideal physical guy now try picturing two of them, kissing and caressing each other.
Try the same thing but now try imagining two females instead males.
See. even if you say you are open to homosexual relationship, the picture of two men making still brings disgust in your thought. And female to female is somewhat easier to take in. Some people may say they can take in this things at with no prejudice at all. i ask you again, really? if you say yes then good for you or you are just denying it; because generally it is not.
So what i ask myself is this, why is it that i find it harder to interact with gays than lebians; it is virtually the same thing. And then i thought of a possible reason why we have this feeling of uneasiness. This is purely from my basic knowledge on psychology, biology and logic.
When life was simple on Earth, the role of males is to be the provider of the group. Anatomically equipped to hunt down savage beasts and carry a heavy load. Pumped with hormones to develop the body and perform such tasks. Having this role males are then viewed in an powerful position. not exactly the head, but holding a vital role for the survival of the pack. performing less than expected would mean weakness in character.
Then pheromones come in to play, it is a scent unique to each an every individual distinct for male and female. During the course of man's evolution we have learned to associate the male scent with power and masculinity. The scent of being tough.
So now back to present time, the product of years of evolution, when we come in contact with the men who present themselves as females, no matter how open minded we are, no matter how we tell ourselves that it is ok, in the back of our mind something tells us that there is something wrong. giving us that feeling of uneasiness and with some people discomfort.
Now you are asking why is this not true for the lesbians. you see during the earlier days the task assigned to the womenfolk is to gather, pick fruits and prepare the meat. women's scent has been associated to lesser task ergo lesser figure of authority ergo they can afford to be emotional and to giggle and hold hand with other women in the village while men fight for food in the wilderness. taking that to what we are today, more people are more comfortable having two females sleeping together than having two males showing affection for each other.
what i say is this, mankind is now entering a new phase where in homosexual relationships exists. more and more people are now getting open to this kind of things. What i say to my gay brothers who are gonna read this, im sorry for the uneasiness its not that my mind is not open for the lifestyle that you have chosen its also somewhat biological.

Bakit sobrang interesado ng mga Pilipino sa kasal nina Kate at William?


April 29, 2011, halos lahat ng local channels sa Pilipinas ay isa lang ang palabas; kasal nina Kate at William. Nakakapagtaka lang kung bakit sa dami ng problema sa Pilipinas ay ito pa ang napili nilang ibalita, may mga special pa sila tungkol dito. May mga countdown to wedding pa at mga pre-wedding news pa sila, ang mga gown, mga bisita at kung ano ano pa.

Kung ang oras na ginamit nila para ipalabas ang isang bagay na malayo naman sa karanasang Pilipino ay ginamit na lang nila para ibalita ang mga bagay na tayo ay direktang apektado. Tulad halimbawa ng pagbibitiw ni Merceditas Guitierrez na nangyari din ng araw na iyon. Kaso lang nasabay iyon sa kasal nina Kate at William. Kaya sorry na lang ang mga hindi nakakaalam.

Pero dahil nangyari na ang nangyari at ang balita sa telebisyon at mga pahayagan ay parte pa rin ng isang malaking negosyo ay ok na siguro yun. Halos wala din naman nakapansin dahil abala ang lahat ng tao na abangan ang halikan ng dalawang taong kinasal gamit ang kaban ng kanilang bayan.

Balik tayo sa unang katanungan: "Bakit sobrang interesado ng mga Pilipino sa kasal nina Kate at William?" Ito ang ilang sagot ko sa tanong ko.
  • Dahil kina Jasmin, Aurora, Cinderella, Fiona, at GMA a.k.a Dwarfina.
Dahil tayo ay pinalaki sa mga kanluraning kwento tungkol sa mga prinsipe at mga prinsesa, kaya ganun na lamang siguro ang pagkahumaling nating mga Pilipino sa mga dugong bughaw. Masyado tayong nasisilaw sa kanilang magagarang kasuotan at sa kanilang mga tradisyon na banyaga sa ating kultura ngunit pasok sa patok na panlasa, na kung tutuusin ay mas maganda pang panuorin ang katutubong kasal ng ating mga kapatid sa kabundukan, yun ay kung naiintindihan mo ang kanilang ginagawa at hindi ka tatawa sa kanilang mga ginagawa.
  • Dahil baka isang araw dumating ang mga Aliens.
Dahil ba sa pagdating ng mga aliens ang una nilang hanapin ay ang mga Hari at Reynang tao. Sino na lang ang sasabihin ng mga Pilipino, baka iba iba ang maisagot natin diba. Mabuti na yung sigurado, at least ngayon kapag tinanong sino hari at reyna? madali sagutin. Kapag tinanong kung saan nakatira, hanapin agad sa google map. Ngayon kapag dumating ang mga Aliens sila Kate at William ang dapat sumalubong sa kanila kasi sila ay hari at reyna; hindi si cinderella at lalong hindi si dwarfina.

  • Dahil wala lang, romantiko lang talaga ang mga Pilipino.
Dahil masaya na ang mga tao na makakita ng isang magarbong kasal. Na hindi natin nakikita araw araw. Dahil sa magagandang palamuti at mga nagkikintabang adorno, engrandeng gayak ng kasal nina kate at william at panandaliang nakalimutan ng mga Pilipino kung gaano kahirap mabuhay sa mundo.

Kung ano pa mang dahilan, sana naman ay hindi natin masyadong pinagaksayahan ng panahon ang kasal na iyon; gayung hindi naman tayo (gaanong) apektado doon. Marami pa ang nangyayari sa buhay sa Pilipinas, sana ay gamitin natin ang kapagyarihan na magbalita sa tamang paraan.

Average person does not exist

check this out-->>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULRosL7AOpk

i think thAt this speech is really entertaining. it has its good points, but what i was really thinking is that is this how, we the youth, think nowadays. that being average is more than enough; is this how we address the problems we face; that getting by is our only goal.

What if our ancestors have this mindset in something like this, that killing an animal by running after them is enough, no spear or anything, the average way of hunting for dinner. if that was the case then i guess we would still be wearing nothing today.

i think the concept of 'average' only exist in books, what i think is that there is no average person in this world. everyone is exceptional in their own unique little way, i know it sounds cliched, but i strongly believe that this is true. think of someone just anyone, someone you think that you are superior to; then think of the things that you can do that he cant, can you be certain that he cant do that. what if he is thinking of you as his inferior does that make you even??? NO. that doesnt make you averages, that makes you exceptional in a different way.

Our society values exceptional people in different ways, for example an exceptionally intelligent academician is not as valued if you bring him to a wrestling match. how we see things is relative to what their position is in our universe. I sincerely believe that no is average. But still there are stupid people out there who cease to use their thinking capacity.


An Open letter to 'Activists'

Last night i was watching the news and i have seen how things in Thailand went from bad to worse. from what i see the red movement in Thailand is going very violent every passing minute. it was very hard for me not to compare the situation in thailand and here in the Philippines.
the previous paragraph is not really connected to the thought i have in mind, the event stated above is what started the flow of thought in my mind.

I think that activism is a really good in certain situations thing it maintains the balance of power in our society, it is a proof that not all power is concentrated in our government and the people with positions and power. But sometimes activists are really going out of line, that the people in position aren't able to perform jobs. It is not easy to please everybody but i think it is just right to give the people in the positions the chance to perform their duties. From what i am seeing (here in the Philippines) we want our officials to fix our situation but we arent willing to cooperate, instead when they lay out a rule we go out on the street and go on making noises, shouting, burning the images of these officials, which most of the time creating more trouble than what we are trying to solve. what i am trying to point out is that we too should do our part in making this country work. ive seen a lot of people trying to talk a lot and do nothing, if we do these we are no different from the very people that we are addressing in our street rallies and what not.
Activism is actively participating in the processes in our society. Shouting and creating street scenes is not truly being active. though i think it is a part of being an active citizen i think we should devote more time and do our designated role in our society to make things work for all of us.
