Openly Gay writer in Malaysia

Few days ago, I read about a news article on an author from Sarawak. Stupid or brave, I have no idea what is the right word to call this young lad.

Well you can read about the article here Malcolm Mejin to write about gays next

Now. I had been going to the same secondary school with this author. Kinda gentle, but I think that is just how he is. He had shown talent in writing since his secondary school time. I know this because I, myself also read lots of literature paper and wrote poems for my own enjoyment. (sometime I write just to show my disappointment)

Blogging has different effect compare to book writing. Being author for either of this media, one may enjoy different type of pro and also suffer from different type of con.

Now back to the issue. When I first read this article few days back, there was no comments or whatsoever, I clicked the same link again today. Just as I expected, more comments surfaced and they are not of the good nature. Most of them are flaming comments and negative remarks.

To defend this young lad, he is not writing to promote gay lifestyle. Well at least that is what I am thinking. I think, he is writing to explain to other people, how indifferent gay people are to others, except to the sexual orientation. But it saddened me when, some of the comments goes like this "this guy is really something -using god to mentioned that even gay are human - gay is nothing more than a social behavior like taking drug or being a cross dresser -it is your own lifestyle that u chosen -your own path - so please do not bring the Word 'god' create everyone equal - although we should judge our negibour ......" 

Haiz*

Is being gay really a choice? How ignorant these people can be... But, I am expecting Malcolm to come out with a good piece of work.  I definitely will support his new work. Well expectation can end up with disappointment or satisfaction. Let see which 1 it could be.

Well Malcolm, all the best. You are in a very controversial shoe if you ask me. As a children books' writer, to come out with such an idea, in this country, I salute your bravery (I hope it is bravery).

Anyway, I would like to share a video with you guys. One of the favourite line i like is "If homosexuality is a choice, there wouldn't be any straight guy left on earth"  at 2:48, but i recommend you to watch this whole video so as not to miss any of his joke.
