LGBTIQ=Seksualiti Merdeka=HARAM!

     "Malaysians have been fearless these past few years. We have demanded for fair elections, for justice, for democracy. Let us then remember that democracy does not only belong to the majority, or the powerful, or the loudest. Democracy belongs to all. Let’s demand for equal rights and human dignity not just for ourselves, but also for those who are different, whether straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual, intersex, transgender, asexual, unsure or simply fabulous. Let’s be queer without fear.

     Seksualiti Merdeka, meaning Sexuality Independence, is Malaysia’s only festival celebrating the human rights of people of diverse sexual orientations and gender identities. It is organised by a loose coalition of NGOs, artists, activists and individuals and has been held annually since 2008. The festival programme includes forums, talks, workshops, book launches, art exhibition and performances. 

     This year, our theme – Queer Without Fear – highlights how homophobia and transphobia have negatively affected and continues to affect the lives of untold numbers of Malaysians who are discriminated against and persecuted because of their sexual orientations and gender identities. It is our firm belief that all Malaysians have the right to live and love without fear.

Among the special activities are:

1. Wed 9 Nov, 8pm: SEKSUALITI MERDEKA 2011 LAUNCH
2. Wed 2 Nov, 8pm: HUMAN RIGHTS for LGBTIQ: Making it real in Malaysia!
3. Thu 3 Nov, 8pm: NINE TO FIVE: Sexuality Rights In The Workplace

     Persoalannya, kenapakah sampai tahap begini? Kenapakah dihalalkan tertegaknya organisasi yang memperjuangkan "hak" mereka? Inilah kudis masyarakat, kudis Islam. Apakah saudara kita mungkin salah seorang daripada mereka? Mungkin ahli keluarga, anak, rakan ataupun saudar mara kita. Kita perlu ambil perhatian. Social justice? Human rights? Atas dasar apa pun perjuangan anda wahai LGBTIQ, dasar Allah tetap yang MUTLAK!

     Ingatlah, pesan Baginda dalam hadith riwayat Ibnu Abbas: “Allah melaknat siapa saja yang melakukan perbuatan kaum Luth, (beliau mengulanginya sebanyak tiga kali)” . Renung kembali peristiwa kaum Nabi Lut di ayat 28-35 Surah Al Ankabut. Ternyata, apa yang anda perjuangkan adalah HARAM!! Bertaubatlah sebelum Izrail datang menjemput anda. Di kala itu, tiada lagi taubat, hanya azab menanti di barzakh. Na'uzubillahhiminzalik..

Hustle up and Be GREAT!
