Love is Love!

It's been tough and took me a really long time as to how I should pen down my thoughts.  Last Saturday, 21 July 2018, the event pinkdotsg was held. Pink dot is the Singaporean version of pride celebration. It is the 10th year this event has been ongoing and this is my very time I decide to attend.

First and foremost can I just say how wonderful it is that we are able to celebrate the various multitude of love.  In Singapore, it is very much suppressed and talks about the LGBTQ+  community is very much swept under the carpet. However, it is truly time for all of us to say we are ready and make a stand and celebrate love as what it is!

Being present at the pink dot and seeing it from and hearing it from the media is totally a different experience. I have never felt so much love and inclusion from so many people.  The atmosphere is simply filled with laughter and the plainest form of happiness. Everyone, no matter gay, lesbian, bisexual, straight or trans were there to support and showcase what love should really be interpreted ( Love is Love).  Being there as the very early to soak in the wondrous atmosphere and have stayed throughout the entire event made me tear a little and gave a warm feeling to my heart!

This made me realized that we are more than ready to come out as a society, as a country and embrace the diverse forms of love that are ever present! Many of us no matter where we come from have experienced some form of discrimination and this is no different. Being looked down upon for loving someone that does not " fit into societal norms" is simply absurd.  Even though humanity has been changing in slowly giving the woman an equal standing as men, embracing the diverse pool of races and we should also begin to be more open to the different types of love out there!

People feared what is different as they do not understand when something is different and not based on societal norms.  However, different is what makes the world unique as each individual has something different to offer to the world.  Why suppressed love that is not the norms just because we cannot understand it?  God created his children as they are, unique, different and no two to be the same! He makes no mistakes in his creation and we should start embracing ourselves and love as how we choose to love. We should stop spending our lives trying to fit in the box of norms as to what society wants us to be but rather live each moment with grace and happiness knowing you are true to yourself and if others can't accept that then they are at a loss or screw them because being different is something to be celebrated. Love is love it is plain and simple as that, we cannot draw a line or a box or put forth any logical reasoning to how love should be!
