community" -- comprised of people who unite with others outside of

the "rule and practice" regarding marriage – deals with hate

crimes

against and beating deaths of its members, as well as suicide, either

by deliberately contracting AIDS, or taking one's life by other

means, including taking prescription drugs due to being diagnosed as

mentally ill and "living" a deadened existence. That's a huge weight

of prejudice going against people when it comes to the most beautiful

feelings Devi has gifted to us all."

 

 

I have been reading this treat just like to add my thoughts.

 

Maybe I am being insensitive about this but this is what I believe,

when you try to move from the norm, you are definitely face with

objections. Hate crimes are everywhere [ as long as people are

capable to express love and hate ], it happens all the time and not

just against the gay community. In certain religion/country, when you

are born in that religion, you remain until you die. You try to

convert to another, a death sentence to you. Well yes! you can say :

it shouldn't and lament as to why are people so intolerant to

others.

That is how things are. If you want to change this situation, then

you must be brave enough to lead it and do not expect others to do it

for you. As a sayings goes : if you want to swim against the tide,

you must be strong, be very strong, otherwise you too will get

drifted together with the current.

Namaste,

 

Tara is my strength - this 'current' is none other than samsara, whom

the Noble Lady Tara ferries us safely across.

 

Om Tara!
