The struggle continues . . .

THE MAYLAY MAIL has a disturbing report about intolerance in Malaysia. According to Ram Anand, Lesbian, Bisexual, Gay and Transgender (LBGT) lifestyles have been equated to social ills like prostitution and drug abuse by Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Mashitah Ibrahim.

“The (LBGT) issue has its own after-effects, which can lead to prostitution, drug abuse, psychological problems and also mental illness. We have been raising awareness on our fatwa against LBGT tendencies with heavy media publicity on the issue to raise awareness, and also about the bad effects homosexuality has on health.”

Makes you wonder how long it will take for Stevie's troglodytes to start making the same noises?

Sigh. Edited for something that didn't cut.

I think the lady is completely correct. The LBGT community does have those dire associations linked to the state of being homosexual.

When one is treated as a demonic, inhuman, depraved monstrosity and often driven from any concept of kin and legal support, reeling with self-loathing and having nowhere safe to go, prostitution, drug abuse, psychological problems and mental illness are often the outcome.

Whodathunk?

So, of course the solution is, illegalize homosexuality.

because...
1/ illegalize homosexuality
2/ ????
3/ profit! or in this case, Prophet!
