Sex, Love and Gender
Wednesday, 22. August 2007, 18:11:28
When an entertainment celebrity takes a moral stand, it often goes beyond personal belief. That is why the moral crusade of a Chinese television star has turned into an eye-catching headline.
Sun Haiying, who achieved stardom with a popular drama series, told a reporter that homosexuality is "criminal in nature". That certainly goes against both common sense and the legal definition, because China long ago decriminalized the behavior. So there is little danger that Sun will send to prison any of his many gay peers in the entertainment industry.
Principle or prejudice? Raymond Zhou, China Daily (18 Aug, 2007)
I have no further knowledge about Sun's conviction against homosexuality, probably won't dig into it neither.
A flash just strikes me on the head. I am pondering...
Why are people coming and sticking together for the rest of their life? Is it for the ultimate aim of reproduction of their kins? Or, for the continuation of their particular spices?
To put it in a much wider and profound perspective: For the sake of a better evolution of the human kind, one has the obligation to contribute ones offspring into the making of a magical experiment of the Almighty Nature?
If not, what else?
Love? A bit too vague, maybe. Or, sex? Too provocative and straight forward, definitely. Most likely, both. One because of the other.
Does gender have anything to do with love and sex of the people concerned?
