If you want to be of a certain sexual orientation, and it does not harm anybody, you are entitled to your individual choice, and it you want to celebrate it in a low-profile event, I don't see why not.

But it becomes a sensitive issue when it becomes a large-scale festival running for days, because it would provoke many people.

The voices of the minority should be respected, but the views of the majority need to be respected too.

Did you choose to be Chinese-Malaysian, Datuk Seri? To be male? To have two thumbs? To be straight? The GLBT* community didn't have that choice either. Like you, they simply are who they are. And when the majority is out to harm and oppress the minority, we have a problem.

Well earn yo goddamn respect, majority, because you sure as fuck don't deserve it right now, silencing the minority like that.

Shit, nobody gives a fuck when Chinese companies take two weeks off for CNY.
