LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender)



LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender)

     Setiap perkara yang disiarkan di laman sesawang khususnya dalam blog adalah mempunyai motif yang tersendiri. Sehubungan dengan itu, setiap fakta dan isu yang dibangkitkan dalam media sosial turut mempunyai motif yang tersendiri. Malah idea-idea yang disiarkan tersebut berdasarkan ideologi-ideologi tertentu. Contoh isu yang biasa dibangkitkan adalah seperti pergerakan kumpulan wanita, kumpulan gay dan lesbian, kumpulan agama dan kumpulan sesebuah etnik.

     Isu Lesbian, Gay, Biseksual and Transgender (LGBT) merupakan salah satu isu hangat yang dibangkitkan oleh kumpulan gay dan lesbian dalam laman sesawang. LGBT Community Center National History Archive mula diperkenalkan oleh seorang sukarelawan juru arkib iaitu Rich Wandel pada tahun 1990. https://gaycenter.org/about/history

Medium yang digunakan?


     Menurut blog yang saya baca, LGBT semakin kuat menerima sokongan daripada lapisan masyarakat terutamanya di Negara Barat seperti Amerika dan New Zealand. Selain itu, mereka juga mempunyai pusat pergerakan sendiri iaitu Support the Center LGBT Community yang ditubuhkan pada 1983. Golongan LGBT telah menggunakan berberapa medium untuk menarik perhatian orang ramai dan menperjuangkan hak-hak mereka. Media sosial seperti blog dan Facebook merupakan salah satu medium utama yang digunakan oleh golongan LGBT untuk menyebarkan idelogi mereka. http://www.suarakita.org/2015/02/propaganda-anti-lgbt-di-malaysia/.

     Isu LGBT menjadi bualan hangat dalam kalangan masyarakat sama ada di dalam atau luar negara, termasuk juga di Malaysia. Walaupun golongan ini merupakan golongan minoriti namun pergerakan mereka dalam menyebarkan isu ini amat kuat mempengaruhi fikiran masyarakat. Jumlah pengikut pergerakan LGBT juga semakin ramai dan mereka berjaya mendapat perhatian seluruh dunia.

     Sejak sekian lama isu LGBT mendapat tentangan  daripada pelbagai lapisan masyarakat kerana ia dianggap sebagai satu amalan yang bertentangan dengan nilai-nilai agama. Namun golongan ini sangat bijak, mereka telah menggunakan hak-hak asasi manusia untuk menjadi pelindung utama mereka dalam mengembangkan isu ini. Walaupun pergerakan LGBT menggunakan hak-hak asasi manusia untuk memperjuangkan hak samarata dalam masyarakat telah diterima di Negara Barat seperti Amerika dan New Zealand, namun negara lain seperti Malaysia di mana agama Islam merupakan agama rasmi di Malaysia masih mendapatkan tentangan yang kuat. Contohnya berita yang disiarkan dalam MalaysiaKini, isu LBGT mendapat tentangan hebat dari anti-LGBT. Mereka berpendapat bahawa isu homoseksual adalah tidak toleran dan bertentangan dengan ajaran Islam. http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/180608. Bagi mereka, seorang umat Islam haruslah menjauhi amalan homoseksual kerana larangana amalan ini termaktub dalam Al-Qur’an.

  1. In my opinion, I do not support LGBT. Each of us have our own religion and in every religions taught us that LGBT are wrong and every religions are strictly rejecting LGBT. LGBT now are using the human rights as their excuses in defending their rights. Our country which known as Islamic country should not be manipulated by LGBT in their play in human rights in order to defend their own group to be existence. The legislative of our country have the responsibilities to tighten the law which against the LGBT in the sense of avoiding the spread of LGBT to the whole country. Besides, counseling, psychology and medical treatment should be provided for those who get involved in LGBT so that they can return to their own path and back to their own identity followed by their gender type.

    1. Melissa, I am sorry to tell you that I am totally disagree with your opinion. Strictly, neither law nor counselling, neither psychology nor medical treatment should be used on LGBT. They are just being not the same and do not follow the cultural norms. Nowadays, some categories are facing inequalities just because of who they are, how they look and who they love. Human rights should strictly practice and protect those LGBT as to challenge their rights is to challenge their humanity!
      Hence, I do not think LGBT should have any treatments, and other unequal treatment.

    3. I'm strongly disagree with your point. it not nothing wrong to love someone who are same sex with you. we should not have bias and prejudice towards LGBT. As times change and our society develops, people see that equality needs more of a voice. Being L,G,B or T is not a 'problem', nor is it a 'choice' as such. LGBT individuals are merely individuals who have sexual preferences that differ from what would appear to be the 'norm', due to differing learned behaviors and, you know, having a personal perspective and mindset that differs from everyone else's. Saying that it's objectively wrong for people to have sexual preferences that differ from the norm is objectively wrong itself. I don't see how it is wrong. Is it affecting you? No. Does it make them happy? Yes. Maybe some of them didn't choose to have a sexual orientation other than straight and that's not their fault. They should be free to do whatever they please. It is not wrong to be LGBT.

  2. I do not support LGBT but I will not judge them or treat them differently. For me, everyone is equal and we should not set them aside just because they are not same wih us. Moreover, I think that sometime this type of issue like LGBT issue is actually been purposely highlighted by certain people. As long as their behaviour did not affect our daily life and they did not overly reacted in public like kissing or hugging that make public uncomfortable, i think we should give them the right that they should have.

  3. I have no mean to offense. I personally think that everyone have their right in living. All of us are human. There should not has restriction or control on anyone in this world. In Malaysia, LGBT considered as wrong because break the religious rules. But we should understand that LGBT has some of parts is happened because biological factor. Religions taught us to have ethics and respects to others. Therefore, I would like to wish society can accept LGBT as well. I do not think that LGBT group is purposely to create conflict by using the tactic of human rights, but they are express themselves and hope to gain the acceptance of public.

  4. Why is the mainstream media afraid of the general society getting ample knowledge about the LGBT? The reason behind coincides with the purposes of the mainstream media, that is to control the minds of its audiences and to avoid the people to deviate beyond their ordinary perception and beliefs.As a result of all this discrimination, some LGBT people tend to avoid from people, lack of self-esteem, feel depressed and distracted. Besides this, they will prefer to change their job or stay at home from work. In my opinion, the society should give them an equal treatment in workplace without care about their gender identity or sexual orientation but based on their qualification and job performance.

  5. In our society, we treat LGBT as abnormal. How if this society is dominant by LGBT? Does it means the "normal" is abnormal? Human right is the issue. The "normal" people request for their human rights but disagree with LGBT to have their human right? It doesn't make sense. The minorities groups always suppressed by the majority. It is a way of bully. Although we have different point of view, but respect others is the most important key in treating others no matter who they are. Try to think in their shoes. Nobody likes to be "abnormal" and everybody should be treated equally.

  7. Everyone have their own perspective in LGBT matter, anyone can either agree or disagree on this matter of LGBT. For me, it is a matter of respects towards others sexual references. Therefore, everyone can have their own answer or option on this issue. I believe that the freedom of choosing the kind of relationship which they want to be involved in. Because that is a basic human right.

  8. Pada pendapat saya, saya tidak menyokong LGBT kerana melanggar hak kemanusiaan walaupun itu adalah hak mereka untuk menjurus kepada isu ini. Mana -mana agama sama sekali melarang LGBT kerana bertentangan dengann hak kemanusiaan dan boleh mendatangkan impak negatif kepada laisan masyarakat. Walaupun wujudnya hak asasi manusia namun LGBT boleh dikatakan melanggar hak tersebut walupun agak sukar untuk memberi pendapat sama ada setuju atau tidak dengan golongan ini. Perkara tersebut bergantung kepada seseorang yang menilainya.
