I quote a paragraph from the link above :
"The musical 'Asmara Songsang' portrays the lives of three LGBT
friends who like to party, take drugs and have casual sex and are
subsequently asked to repent by their religious neighbours, who try to
reintroduce Islam to them.
Those who repent are spared and those who do not are struck by lightning and killed."
Never watch the play but the description of it is enough to turned me
off. I am against LBGT (lesbian, bisexual, gay & transexual) but this play is not one of the methods to
overcome the homosexuality problem in Malaysia that is becoming more
rampant and open in Malaysia.
Plays like this will provoke the gay rights
activist even more and paint a bad picture on religion. It's so wrong to
associate homosexuality with party, drugs and casual sex. Hell, a lot
of straight people party, do drugs and casual sex.
And
seriously strike by lightning? If you want people to take your message
seriously, don't be over dramatic. There are a lot of gays and lesbians
out there (muslims) yet you don't see them get strike by lightning.
When educating someone on something that is deem "wrong" or "immoral",
we got to explain why it's wrong. Not put them in fear thinking that's
the only way they will get to the right path.
My opinion is based on the fact that I do not support gay and lesbian marriage. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. We can't always get what we want in life.
