There is a silver lining behind the Seksualiti Merdeka ban

I am not a member of the LGBT community and so, maybe I do not appreciate too much of the preference to stay in the closet. I am not at risk when I see the need for them to come out of the closet. But they need to know that for all the condemnation they receive, there are those whom will put up a thumb-up for the courage they garner.

In any fight against societal discrimination, there will always be a relatively challenging time. That is when the society first becomes aware. That awareness is an important first stage of any anti-discrimination fight. Without awareness, there can be no fight for equality.
