LGBT or Terrorist: What’s
More Dangerous?
LGBT
has been lagalized in the United States. This makes the number of the LBGT
cases are arising and become large and large every single day. This is not only
happen in the liberal countries such as United States or the western countries,
but also in the country which the majority of the citizens are muslim such as
Indonesia. This case become a polemic and controversial issue regarding the status quo that the number of LGBT
is arising day by day in our country. Moreover, the number of this case is
larger after the SGRC, an organization which service the consultation of the
problem in the relationships, take a part in problem solving of the LGBT cases.
SGRC is one of the student
community in the University of Indonesia (UI) that consist of the students of
UI and the other university in Jakarta. This organization is considered as an
LGBT organization which supports the LGBT community in our country. In fact, it
tried to solve the problems that usually happen in the relationship such as
abusing, violence and the other problems that used to happen in the
relationships. As what they do to the other cases, they’re trying to solve the LGBT
cases by giving the suggestions and mental supports, in order to strengthen
their mental no matter what. On the other hand, the citizens think that LGBT
doesn’t deserve to get the supports.
The citizens do think that
LGBT is something dangerous that should be avoided by every single people in
our country. This makes they are isolated and discriminated from the society. They
think that LGBT might be damage the morality of Indonesia. Meanwhile the
existence of the LGBT did appear long time ago, even before it’s legalized in
US. The legalizing of LGBT and same sex marriage influences the stigma of the
people in Indonesia. Furthermore, they consider LGBT is the same as the
terrorist, whereas they’re not.
LGBT is a personal problem
as Ridwan Kamil, a Mayor of Bandung, said in his statement in Pendopo city
hall, Bandung. “That’s their personal problem (LGBT), but when they’ve been
publicizing their existence and trying to get supports from others, that’s
abusing our moral and I’d do justice”. This shows us that LGBT is something
that we don’t need to fear of, as long as they don’t harm people or trying to
persuade people to be one of them. Besides, when we try to isolate them or even
discriminate them, it’ll be just make it worse. Their mental health will be
unbalance because of the pressures and the rejections from the society. This
rejections would just make them feel unworthy, contemptible, and on eventually
might lead them to do something bad such as criminality or even suicide. It’s
quoted in American Journal of Public Health, March 2010 by Mark L Hatzenbuehler
in his journal The Impact of
Institutional Discrimination on Psychiatric Disorders in Lesbian, Gay and
Bisexual Populations: A Prospective Study that “Living in states with
discriminatory policies may have pernicious consequences for the mental health
of LGB population.”
The citizen seems too focus
on LGBT cases while there’s much more dangerous problem that threat our
national security, such as the terrorism action that is spreading over the
world. Since the emergence of new terrorist organization in the middle-east countries
such as in Syria, the terror is happen in every single countries, including
Indonesia. This organization that called as ISIS, recruited the members from
the other countries that has the same thought and ideology : to build the
Islamic Nation.
This recruitment is not only
happen in the middle east, but also in our country. This is done by the little
organization that typically same as ISIS in Indonesia. They teach the deviate
ideology and spread the wrong perception about Islam. Their targets are the
student of high school and university. This is because we all believe that they
are so much worth to our future because the world in their hand. The terrorists
are going to use it to change the world. Besides they use them to get another
supports from people. In addition, they also did the terror like bombing,
killing people and anything else.
If we take a look to this
kind of terrorism action, It’s sure that these action is much more dangerous. The
terrorism actions that happened in our country have much bigger consequence to
the national security. Otherwise, the citizen seems blind and know nothing
about these cases rather than the LGBT cases. The attention of the public has
been concerned to the LGBT case. We should determine this kind of problem soon,
and this is the government’s job to let the society know what’s actually
happened in our country. What should we put more attention? What’s more
dangerous to our national security? What should we fear of? LGBT or Terrorist?
