Gays, No Dignity

To be honest, I got some very interesting mails in my inbox. But most of them, I believe, are just similar stories of what I have presented so far. Due to constant pressures from work, it is high time for hybernation. I just couldn't let this one pass.

Dear data,

Whatever happened to your wonderful journals? I keep looking on your blog too, hoping I could find new entries. But it seems you got tired. I hope not, though. While your absence offers relief for some, others like me, still anticipate wit in line of thinking, just the way you write your journals.

I have something to share though. Perhaps your readers may offer views on the matter.

I’ve been in Saudi Arabia for more than 2 years now, working as graphics designer in one of prestigious ad agencies. Prior to this, I used to work in the same line of business in the Philippines. It is no secret that ad agencies are full of so-called “weird” individuals bordering in being eccentric, strange or gay. Nevertheless, I enjoyed every minute working with these people, especially the gays, as they are funny and very smart.

In the Philippines, I have high regard for gays. Though it is still a struggle to become one in our country, they are nevertheless respectable, a class of their own – professionals with firm principles and lofty aspirations.

However, I miss the days when it used to be so nice working with them because they are smart and very professional in ways more than one. I miss the times being with them, because they are intellectually stimulating, highly creative individuals.

But I found out the contrary here. From the moment I set foot in this desert, I woke up to the idea that gays here have NO DIGNITY. And each day that passed by for more than two years, revelations after revelations proved this point - they only know nothing but boys, they are hungry for sexual encounters; they only do one thing but talk about intrigues, so fond of meddling with other people’s lives; they are very rude, for they have no regard to other people’s feeling.

It is such a frustration working with these individuals. If these socially impaired people will stand as beacon of what these gay right activists are fighting for, it will be no wonder why society will have to cast them in hell where they deserve gnawing of their teeth.
