In posh localities of the country in large cities like Khi, Lhr, Isl, the high n mighty too are involved in such marriages. certain big names from our fashion and sho-biz industry, both males and females being the pioneers of introducing this last bit of ‘freedom’ into the Pakistani society. homesexuality has always been there, but things like this remove the fear and guilt from such people and make them bold which can be very destructive for a society…

What is the point of dragging the rich and spoilt (0.0001%) of the population in this discussion? What they do in their private rooms is their business and shouldnt affect anyone since they are not going around beating their drums about it.

To be fair, it would be better if we highlighted this issue from a society in general perspective. Have we forgotten the Peshawer School incident where the teachers for decades had been practicing homosexuality? What happened, nothing. Matter was hushed up cause too many important figures were involved. Child abuse in Madressah’s is a common complaint, yet nothing is done to resolve the matter once and for all, why? Cause it reflects badly upon the religious elite. Remember Mukhtaran Mai? Well it started with her brother being sodomized, does anyone ever wonder why that was never made a national issue? Cause its embarrassing or acceptable?

Digging deeper into this social malaise and you can find male infatutation stories dating back in the Arabian nights or those related to the sub-continent can be traced in exploits of Mirza Ghalib, Josh and many others.

Homosexulatiy has been around for centuries and without physical boundaries, lets not target a small segment of the population cause its easy and popular thing to do.
